Original Crochet Designs. Ramblings and Satire about Crochet. I have been hesitant to create a blog as personally I don’t know if it is for me or not. It is the obvious next step for someone who designs to have one, but not everything is sunshine and rainbows. I will see how it goes and if I find anyone raining on my parade (due to this public platform), then I guess I will cut and run. This blog is for my crochet and so for those ‘Storm clouds’ who hover in the background waiting to pounce, I say go wreck your havoc on someone else for a change!

And if you happen to enjoy my post, please give it a like and follow my blog. Stalkers are welcome. Enjoy reading about crochet! It is all RELATIVE!

Most people have probably seen the ads for the American Express card in which the motto is, 'Don't leave home without it'. Yes, a few of you are nodding as you know the ads I mean! Well for us die-hard crochet maniacs, while a credit card is a very important thing to have on hand, … Continue reading When you forget to pack your crochet and life happens!
Sounds great in theory! And I always have grand ideas that seem to take forever from idea to completion. Last huge idea I had took over two years to complete, and I think I am sizing myself up for a similar experience. I bought yarn for a large size Afghan approximately a year ago. For … Continue reading Crochet! Go big, or go home!
Lately, I have been making bags! I made the 'Billy Thunder' Tote and was pleased with that (and I got to play with beads, which is always a good thing.)!
