My goodness I haven’t said a word since August!! I’m terribly sorry about that. One of my resolutions this year is to be better about updating the blog and the web site. I really dropped the ball last year. I had some pretty rough patches healthwise. Not an excuse, just an observation. Anyhoo….on to other things!

I’ve been super busy since about mid-October preparing entries for Lion Brand’s Vanna’s Choice contest. I’m entering a couple of my patterns that are already on the site and one completely new one. No peeks though. Don’t want to jinx anything. But, if I do say so myself, I really out did myself on that one.

We’ve also had quite the mother lode of wonderfully talented and generous ladies submitting their very own quilt patterns for us to share with everyone. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am about that!!

We’ve also added a couple of features to the site. First, a Crochet Tip of the Week. In the right hand sidebar we’ll add a new handy tip every Monday (if I don’t forget lol).

Next up is the 12 Scarves of 2009. I really enjoy this one. This was inspired by a Crochet Along on Crochetville started by the ever popular and extremely talented Darski. The idea is to make one scarf a month for each month in 2009. How fun is that?!? So, I decided to challenge myself to design a new scarf every month and add it as a new feature! All of this is with Darski’s blessing. Thanks, doll! Check it out in the right sidebar.

Last, Book and Product reviews. Every couple of weeks we’ll review a crochet related book or product. They’re linked to Amazon.com so that you don’t even have to go looking for them. This is as close to advertising as we plan to get. We don’t want a bunch of advertising cluttering up the site. The site is for fun and not really for profit

That’s it for now! I promise I’ll add more soon!
