It's Spring in Macon

I had to snap these photos of my Rose Bushes in my front yard.   One reason to look forward  to in spring.

Complete Bloom of a Pink Rose

Working as hard as a Bee

Lighting is very important when it comes to taking photos of my handmade products to sell on etsy.com  That's why I leave it to nature to give me the perfect balance of light.  And today while conducting a photoshoot outside by my garden, I noticed a Bee working as hard as I am and enjoying the spring here in Macon Georgia.  The first flowers to bloom in the yard were the Rose bushes and oh my they were delightful to see.  And last week the pink flowers you see below began to bloom and attracted Bees.  I don't bother them, specially after the hype of the Bees disappearing, I actually welcome them to my flowers.

Cross Stich Crochet Pattern

I have been on YouTube lately trying to find some new pattern to learn.  and I found one.  Its called cross stitch pattern.  Below is the video and the images of my newly discovered pattern. 


this is my newly found crochet pattern called Cross Stitch
by CrochetCrowd of YouTube.  He has plenty of video tutorials check him out.



Nook Covers latches

So I'm going viral with my Nook/Kindle Crochet Covers.  I have to admit that my ideas comes from various etsy designers.  They are truly my inspiration.  I just know how to crochet from long long ago.  And now that I can actually create something with crochet,  my artistic spirit has sprung from a long slumber.  This hobby can get addictive and expensive.  And thanks to etsy, I'm able to balance this addiction to something productive.  I have officially sold 5 of my Nook Crochet Covers on etsy.  and each time it tickles me that someone actually adimirers my pieces enough to purchase them.  I am truly thankful and hopefully my customers do enjoy my creations.

Anyway, ever since I've figure out how to crochet a simple Nook or Kindle covers, I have been trying to experiment the best way to add a latch to help enclose the device inside.  Check out my different latches that goes around a button.

Latches one - just a simple single chain to go around a button

here you see that I'm trying to create a double stich, and even a wider width on the blue crochet nook cover, still going around a button

this is what I'm raving about lately.  I've learned how to not just a crochet sleeve cover, but a crochet sleeve cover with handles.  I luv it.
