Last year Denese asked for my help finding a pattern for the looped stitch house slippers pattern
. Well… I just found it. It’s over on Yahoo! Voices and was shared by Darlene Michaud. Thank you so much, Darlene. These would make wonderful Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers or just plain “warming the footsies” during the winter. ;o)
Have fun!
My friend, Betty Reynolds, sent me a note the other day. You see… Betty is a scrapbooker . And not just any scrapbooker. She’s a consultant for Creative Memories. She creates some of the most unique and lovely scrapbook pages you could ever want. As for her news…
There is now a Creative Cottage Retreat in McKinney, TX. Once a month Betty is one of the Creative Memory Consultants that will work with you to help you create your one-of-a-kind cards or pages. Here’s a quote from their home page…
“Croppin at the Cottage’” is the 1st Mon., Tues. & Wed. of each month. Crop from 9:00am to 10:00pm for only $15.00 day/ person. This includes 13 hrs. of cropping and use of all our equipment. If you book Mon. and Tues., you get Wed. for only $5.00. The beauty is….you don’t have to pack your “stuff” up when you go home. Just leave it there and start croppin’ immediately the next day… no unpacking…whew!!!!”
The Creative Memories web site has many, many project pages. My particular favorites are the “Just for Fun” ones.. ;o)
Have a look… you’ll be glad you did!
P.S. … Betty is not an owner.. just a happy project consultant who is fortunate enough to use Creative Cottage Retreat once a month for a fun day or so. ;o)
An excerpt from a press release from Interweave Press……”Loveland, Colo., June 20, 2007: Interweave Press today officially unveiled KnittingDaily.com, a new online knitting community, library of free knitting, felting and crochet patterns, daily blog, and e-newsletter for knitting and fiber enthusiasts from the publisher of Interweave Knits, Spin-Off,Knitscene, and Interweave Crochet magazines, and many best selling knitting books by the industry’s most popular and talented designers.”…
I’m only 7 months behind finding this great new ezine published by Interweave Press. But on the bright side, there are now dozens of lovely new free patterns up… with the latest being a beautiful pair of fair isle knitted mittens called “White Witch Mitts”. You do have to register for this site, but it is free and registration takes about 30 seconds. What a treasure trove… everything from the beginnings of inspiration, to free patterns.. and more.
Have a look..
