Shrone Designs: May 2013
http://shronedesigns.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 31, 2013. Story of a Design: Mehndi Necklace. As I'm still beginning my journey as a designer, I find the story of my designs interesting. My design process for the Mehndi Necklace. Began about a year ago. It's hard to believe I have patiently waited this long to be able to share with fellow crocheters this design! The mehndi motif was inspired by an actual mehndi hand design. I originally wanted to make it as a slave bracelet in size 40 thread and so I did! First version of necklace. Now tha...

Thursday, January 31, 2013. What color(s) do you like? I'm working on a design and can't decide which one I like best so I made up some swatches. The center variegated is just for fun- I have no intention of using it. Which one(s) do you like best? Crochet in the raw. Friday, January 25, 2013. Breathe Into Life: My Sources of Inspiration.

Crochet N Beads: September 2013

The Threads To My Heart are Wrapped Around My Hook. Friday, September 6, 2013. You would think that being self employed Fridays wouldn't mean all that much to the one self employed. But I still cherish Fridays and base my weeks work around the weekend. Mostly because Marv still works the 5 day week. It also helps me keep my job from totally taking over my life. Something a person in my position is prone to do. Oh yes what I do is creative. Well I have a few flower pictures from last weekend. I love looki...

Crochet N Beads: September 2015

The Threads To My Heart are Wrapped Around My Hook. Wednesday, September 2, 2015. For me it's easy to create. I can whip up new designs in a heartbeat. My what if button goes off on a regular basis and I see new ideas every where. Makes my heart sing. Now writing up the pattern is not so simple. Actually it's hard work. The creating is an art form. It flows, it grows, it changes shape while exploring possibilities. I am happiest when creating. The pattern writing is a mathematical formula. You say well w...

Crochet N Beads: July 2013
http://crochetnbeads.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
The Threads To My Heart are Wrapped Around My Hook. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Old skill becomes new skill. I haven't knitted in years and years. But recently a friend wanted to learn to knit with needles after teaching herself to knook. Well I dusted off my knitting needles and helped her to learn the basics while traveling to and from the CGOA Convention. Unfortunately for her my skills were very, very rusty. Besides it doesn't hurt to be bi-stitchual. This is what I am playing with at the moment. Tree ...

http://crochetnbeads.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
The Threads To My Heart are Wrapped Around My Hook. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Time to reflect and dream. My New Years Wish! I will try and greet the new year as. A dream not yet realized,. A design waiting to be created,. A ball of thread full of promise,. A pattern not yet written,. A song not yet sung,. A wish not yet granted,. A picture not yet taken,. A flower not yet sniffed,. A trail not yet followed,. A dance not yet felt. A day not yet lived,. Each day will give me chance,. My wish for you.

The Threads To My Heart are Wrapped Around My Hook. Friday, August 28, 2015. I keep thinking I need to get back to my blogging. But every time I come in and start writing, I end up feeling like I am ranting. Not sure that is what I really want to be doing. But I have a hard time being chipper, chirpy and cute. Not really my style. It feels fake to me anyways. Whose life is truly like that? So what is a girl to do? There is a lot of things I feel passionate about. The crochet world as a whole. But that is...

The Threads To My Heart are Wrapped Around My Hook. Thursday, October 31, 2013. Why is it so. Why is it that when I have a full load of pieces to work on and most of them have deadlines, that is the time my brain kicks into overdrive, and I come up with one idea after another. I think it’s like forbidden fruit for me. You can’t do it or have it , so you want to even more. Ever have that happen to you? I just added three more ideas to my stash of possibilities and want to do’s. And Yes I Love it. I have 1...

The Threads To My Heart are Wrapped Around My Hook. Wednesday, August 6, 2014. I can't say I have ever taken a vacation just for the fun of it. Normally we go see family, or such. Oh we do the occasional weekend. But 5 days of being treated to good food, wonderful scenery and great conversations made my trip to Maine exceptional. Michele Maks of Mainly Crochet invited me to come stitch by the sea after convention. Promised me a lobster dinner. Now who in their right mind could say NO to that. I had a gra...
