free frame flower pedals

I love frames.  I wanted to share this frame I created today.  Its late January and flowers have begun blooming early and some have already fell to the ground.  I didn't want to waste their beauty so I created this frame to share to all. 

I used the same pedals and made it a bit more rectangular in shape and added som red berries and as you can see changed the background.

They are high resolution JPEG images, so you can save and type your favorite quotes or sayings in the center.

I couldn't stop the flow of creative juice, so here's another freebie.  

You can use this frame for all sort of stuff, like wedding invitations, bridal shower etc...

iPad Mini crochet cover - handmade case

After a whole year of crocheting covers for my etsy shop, My taste preferences and my urge to create all kinds of pattern, have evolved to minimalist and modern crochet pattern.  I tend to stick to simple single and double crochet techniques.  and I think they work very well.  given all of the varieties of colors and yarn available in the market, there's really no need for extravagant  and complicated designs.  So after a whole year and I think I've grown and not tamed.  :)

Basket Weave crochet pattern for Mug Cozy

In my previous post, I posted a horizontal basket weave mug cozy pattern, this is the vertical basket weave mug cozy pattern.  and I do like this pattern much better.

Basket Weave Mug Cozy

I've done mug cozy in basket weave crochet pattern before and I think I might have to stick to the original.  The one pictured below is done in horizontal.  I started with 34 chains and then follow through the basket weave pattern but I think I like the vertical basket weave better. or maybe if I would have added a row of single crochet border, it would have been suffice to my liking.

Maybe is the Virgo in me, that loves this minimalist mug cozy in its natural hue.  Its simple to make and the best accessory for any mug or cup.

My 4th Crochet Pattern ebook

I haven't seen any royaltie's check from Amazon or Barnes and Nobles but I'm so excited with my sales that I've launched my 4th ebook on crochet pattern. And as I go along, I'm learning a lot when it comes to publishing.  I've designed hundreds of print materials, including magazines and all sorts of books, but I've designed them for print version, so when it comes to designing a book for e-books and e-readers, it gets a bit challenging, when it comes to formatting. 

But no more of the formalities, I just wanted to show you guys my new e-book and its now available at Barnes and Nobles and Amazon.com   Here are the links.
