Sometimes you just have to take the step, take the chance, and go for your dreams. You only fail when you quit getting back up.

This week has flown by!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a week since I've updated. Sorry about that. Really.

But, I can show you some pictures!



Those would be my latest pair of socks. I learned an important lesson while making these. Namely, one should always write down what one has done to "personalize" a pattern because one never knows how long it will take to get to the second sock. Good thing I can read my own crochet. Two months went by between sock #1 and sock #2.



That's a doily slouchy hat. It started as a "quick" project for instant gratification. And then I put it down and got busy and it took me another couple of weeks to get back to it. Story of my life. :)

Oh, and here's my latest WIP:



That's the beginning of the Cap Sleeve Top from Crochet That Fits. It's being made in sparkly blue Lion Brand Vanna's Glamour. It's the first garment I'm making for conference. :) I've got a few other in mind, I just have to find time.

Speaking of conference, registration opened today. Have I registered? Nope. Waiting on some income to come in so I can pay for the classes I want to take and all that. Fingers crossed the classes I want don't sell out! And no, putting on a credit card is not an option right now. We've been working hard to pay bills down and I don't want to add to that by putting the trip on plastic. So, I'll wait. I should be able to pay for everything I need when my next bit of income comes in.

Anyway, on the slate for this week is finishing up some designs for submission (including my first "real" garment) and a design for self-publication. I also need to write an article and submit it as well. And do one final look at the taxes before sending them off.

Have a great week everyone!
