Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I realize I am a day late with this, but Christmas is a very busy day in our family!  I hope you all had a wonderful day filled with love, laughter and family!


Speaking of family...  My mother in law ordered 6 pairs of Boot Socks from me for her granddaughters (my nieces) for Christmas.  The girls are all dancers so, of course, they pose like dancers!  These girls are all beautiful and SUPER sweet!  I was happy to be a part of their Christmas!

Be on the lookout for upcoming videos and patterns!  I'm excited to start the new year with a new Adventure!

Last Day for Christmas Orders!

Design Adventures Etsy Shop
Today is the last day I will be accepting Christmas orders from the Etsy shop for this year!  You can certainly order after today, but it will not be arriving in time for Christmas.  You can also order the Boot Socks Pattern at any time and it will be emailed out within 24 hours of payment.  

Thank you to everyone who is following along with the blog!  My apologies for being slow with responses the last few weeks!  The blog and the shop really grew faster than I had expected, and I am SO grateful for that!  I appreciate everyone's support and patience with me as I navigate through all of this.  You're all truly AWESOME!  I'm loving the way you are helping each other through comments!  I have some orders to bust through in the next week and then I will be making some video tutorials in response to some questions I have received.  Stick around, I'll have some great free patterns coming out after the holidays!

Shout Out!

I am feeling so blessed!  I started my blog and Etsy shop with no big expectations, just wanting to share my love for design with people who get what it feels like to LOVE yarn (you know who you are!) and I have been so pleasantly surprised at the response I have gotten!  I'm very grateful for my supportive family and friends, and of course for YOU!  Thank you for joining me on my Design Adventure!

That being said, I have had so many Etsy orders that I have barely had time to keep my house clean (sorry, honey!) and take care of my other Mommy Duties, let alone come up with some new designs for you guys!  So, I thought I'd give a shout out to a few of my favorite crochet spots!  These are great sites for new patterns (some free, some not) and some are just great communities, where you can meet other crocheters and get some great ideas!  So, while it's not a new design, you may just make some new friends who share your passion!

What are some of your favorite sites for patterns?  Any great blogs out there that you guys just LOVE?

Happy Crocheting!
