Web Site Updates

-

I know you've all been dying to see some new stuff on my web site. Ok, maybe a few of you. Or someone you know ... or once heard of. Whatever.

The point is, I have been spending my days taking photos and posting new items to my site. And updating the old ones to look better and hopefully easier to read. I made a check list to keep track of what's done and about half are checked off now. Woo!




I added color swatches to each individual item page, which I think helps a bit. Shows the new colors and odd variations of colors.




I added a few pieces which I've carried in my booth for a while, but hadn't gotten to the site yet. Woo! Many more to go... like skirts, baby stuff, hats and jewels. But it's coming along.








To fix the lighting/camera issues I've been having, I finally gave in and just set up the mannequin outside. I just can't get the indoor lighting right. Grrr. But, it's working ok so far I think. I'm using my old funky camera, since Barney's fancy one is so temperamental about connecting to my computer.

It's always something, right? yeah. But a girl must trudge on...

    Hey Becky - the site looks really nice - it's much more accessible now (sorta like your booth - haha).

    And I have always loved your booth - it is such fun to see all the cool colors wafting in the breeze, and then, once drawn inside - there you are!! The real prize!!!!

    By the way, I keep getting lots of wonderful compliments on the sweater I bought from you last summer. And it goes so nicely with my favorite fused glass pendant!!

    Thanks Katie!! So nice to hear from you... and get some feedback. My site is fairly limited with what I can do, so I'm trying to keep it simple and readable. I feel like the photos still don't quite do justice to the colors... but I'm doin what I can.

    If you have any suggestions or other feedback, gimme an email. I hope you're gearing up for some craft fairs with your jewels... I'll see you at the Arcata Comm. Center on the 8th. Woo!

NEW *Creative* Beer Can Hat Tutorials All *NEW* Beer Can Party Hat Tutorials are Actually COOL! Okay. Carry on.   I'm going to attempt to share with the world my pattern for the coveted Beer Can Hat. Some years ago I started making these and spread them around to many friends and unsuspecting acquaintances. I believe they originated during the 70s cheesy crafts era, which I completely adore. Many a birthday party have I attended bringing a 6 pack of beer, a skein of yarn, a couple compact tools... and a few hours later, left the host with a special party hat and gift made right before his drunken eyes. Now YOU can be that fascinating craft nerd, amazing your friends at parties. Or just drinking and crocheting at home.  Al

Edge the Can Labels Basically, the cans will be edged just like a granny square. 5 dc into each corner, and 3 dc into each hole along the sides. For those who prefer a written pattern, here you go: Sl st into corner hole, ch 3 (counts as 1 dc). Work 2 dc into same hole. *Work 3 dc into next hole and each hole across. Work 5 dc into corner hole. Repeat from * around label, ending with 2 dc into starting hole. Sl st into 2nd of ch 2 from beginning.

Make the Base (Top):   I call this part of the hat the Base because that's where a hat usually begins. Crochet the Base of the hat from the Basic Hat Pattern . Work in the dc stitches as described until the underlined number is 4. You should end up with a nice circle that has 60 sts around the outer edge. Do not tie off. 6. Join the Base to the Crown: Hold the Crown and the Base wrong sides together with the labels facing you and matching up the stitches as you work. Sl st into any st at top edge of Crown, *insert hook through sa
