The good news is I am progressing with my online course work. It is too soon to tell if I am making improvements in my writing style however, my instructor seems pleased. I am now so far out of my comfort zone that it is time to consider creating a new comfort zone. I think many of you understand that feeling.
This has been another busy week. Taking course work, testing a crochet pattern for Lisa Fox of https://greenfoxfarmsdesigns.com/, doing some creative writing, conducting my business, collecting pins for this week’s blog, the usual family stuff, and last but not least working with my various charity outreach programs. Speaking of giving. Very quickly, I want to put in a word about a very exciting preemie challenge organized by Sunflower Cottage Crochet. Those of you who read this blog know that I love welcoming in our littlest and most vulnerable citizens with cozy clothes and blankets. If you’d like to join in I encourage you to follow the link. Now we come to this week’s On Point Pins. Some of my readers may find my eclectic tastes somewhat bewildering. I don’t blame you. Things get a bit busy in the “brain housing group”, to borrow a phrase from the United States Marines, thus shown in the pins I post from week to week. For this I apologize ahead of time. I am very careful about the patterns I choose for children. I like a bit of a vintage look with a modern twist. Monpetiteviolon on Etsy designed the adorable little Sarafan sundress for little girls. It is sized from 9 months to 5 years. Depending on the yarn chosen this sweet little piece could be worn at a wedding or to a family picnic. If you like the Sarafan dress you’ll love many if not all of the designs available through her shop. Knitter Knotter is a multi-talented designer whose abilities are frankly way beyond my own. She too creates patterns that use familiar themes yet with a gorgeous modern feel. For instance the crocheted Mehr Shawl, a free pattern on the blog, creates a lacy yet textured pattern. A unique combination of yarn, stitches and shape. Lion Brand nails my feelings about this Summer with the Orient Beach Tunic. Relaxed, colorful, Boho, calm yet not boring, and with our crazy weather, long sleeved. Download the free pattern! Don’t make the mistake of thinking all ruanas are for beach days! Two Brothers Blankets’ Beach Day Ruana is an adorable pattern with endless possibilities. It’s stylish and classy. I can see it with any number of outfits. Dressed up or down. This is a premium pattern. You’ll find 3 more patterns on the Weekly On Point Pins Board each one sparking a little bit of the creative juices in my brain. I do enjoy gathering these pins to share with you all. I hope you’ll take the time to check out the board this week. Until next time my friends!
