YCMT!

I am so honored to be affiliated with http://www.youcanmakethis.com/. I sell crochet and knit patterns through them along with several other talented crochet and knit designers. Recently, they let us know that they are going to be advertising (with our pictures!) in several crochet magazines. How super exciting!

Here are the ones they are listing in:

Crochet! magazine
Hooked on Crochet
Crochet World
Annie's Crochet

Here is an ad that was in the Jan08 issue of Crochet! (my hat is the Happy Stripes Sun hat in the lower right corner!)

I am still working on my book proposal with a major publishing house. The editorial assistant I have been working with is wonderful. I can't say how impressed I am with this company, their employees and their finished product.

Keep your fingers crossed, pray, do a dance naked under the stars or whatever you do to bring people luck ~ this would be such a dream to have this book of my patterns published!

I'll keep you posted on what is going on ~ it is absolutely pouring cats and dogs outside, so I am going to make sure I have everything in from outside (which is wild, because it so rarely rains in Las Vegas!).

Until next time............

The '08 Update!

Oh my gosh! I can not believe that I haven't been on here since AUGUST! I am so very very bad about keeping up with things lately! Life is constantly about mach 1 around our house.

Great news: http://www.lullabylamb.com/ is up and running, lots of super sweet vintage and European inspired toys, clothes and accessories on the site, and I am working to incorporate more and more items each month. It is a slow, but steady process.

Oh, I am working with a publisher on a possible book (crochet & knit hats patterns), it is going slow, but my contact at the publishing house is the editorial assistant and is super nice. I hope to have a long relationship with the company. Now, I just need to figure out how to get drafts/proposals, etc turned in properly and presented in a stunning way that says, "WOW, PUBLISH ME!"

Also, we are moving to Aberdeen, WA at the end of the month. Hopefully it will be our final move! In 20 years of marriage, I think we have had something insane like 14 moves? The process has become second nature to our entire family. The kids are so excited, they are already looking at paint swatches with us trying to figure out "the perfect color" for their rooms!

There are a ton of other things that have happened lately too, but I'll fill in those gaps later.

My sister, Lori took this amazing picture of Lilly in a new Valentine's Day hat and since V-Day is only 6 days away, I thought I'd share and wish all of you a wonderful Valentine's Day! Because at the rate I blog, it will need to keep you happy until Halloween! (ARGH ~ I promise to blog more frequently!).
