Holy Cow! I came across this gal on flickr...immediately I was hooked. Y'all know how much I love the roosters, and what she has done with him is awesome. I wish I could actually touch him!



Just look at these!!!!!  I don't know how she gets those zippers in there.  And I love, love, love the embroidery.  She does not have a blog, but posts regularly on flickr, and has an etsy shop.  OMG...look at that little owlie!  She goes by "woollie fabulous, which is the perfect name for her!

Check her out, I hope she inspires y'all as much as she has inspired me!

Paisley Inspiration



I recently ran across this while surfing the internet...and totally inspired by them!

How awesome would a scarf be made of several of these brightly colored paisley morifs! This was done by a lady I found on flickr, her name is Patti Haskins, I love the colors she chose and her crochet looks perfect! Well, after running across this I started looking for more of these motifs, and a google search didn't turn up a whole lot. I know there is a book out there somewhere that was printed in the 70s that has patterns for some of these. So, I have been on a quest to find it.

Here is some more inspiration. This lady just made it up without a pattern! HOLY COW...I AM TOTALLY IMPRESSED! I immediately liked it. I can see these adorned with beads and metalic threads!


They would also look really neat in those classic olive green and brown colors. I can also see them crocheted up in embroidery floss.

Here is just a little more flickr inspiration. These circles are so bright and cheery...they make me want to crochet some up! I love the black edging around each one. These would make a killer scarf joined in rows of three circles.

Today I acquired my first pair of bi-focals, and let me tell you...I now have great respect for my mom and dad, who I used to kid about their bifocals! I am sure once I get used to them I will like them, but right now I feel like I am walking through the mirror house at the fair! :-)
