While I love how successful Etsy was for me, Seems that the original idea of featuring hand made items from small scale artisans has been overcome by the desire to sell large quantities of mass produced, "disposable", resale goods from overseas. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't get me wrong, There are some very talented artists selling their wares on Etsy who reside overseas, and I wish them much success. And I also support jobs creation in China and third world countries, but I prefer to find a place where the handmade goods are truly separated from the mass produce commercial goods that are saturating Etsy's "Handmade" category. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The many times I've searched handmade goods on Artfire, they are truly hand made. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Of course there is a "commercial" section of goods, but the handmade is much easier to find. Here are my fave black and white finds from Artfire. And I will add more as I discover them so stay tuned. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Its been a little while since I have posted anything here. After developing pain in my hand while I knit, I had to shift my attention to another form of creation. Many of you know that I shifted my attention to making and selling cell phone wallets online. After two years of working sun up to sun down, and due to many adverse life events, I was forced to shut down in January of this year. I was uninspired, unmotivated, and every time I sat down at my work table, I was faced with an anxiety that paralyzed me. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since that time it seems that life has just been pushing me to get back into the things I love. This includes knitting, designing, and sewing.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is my latest project. I agreed to knit a scarf for a friend's daughter and here is what I have so far. I"m loving the random strips of color. This is a mixture of one hank of my hand dyed self striping DK yarn, a hank of my hand dyed and spun Art Yarn, and one hank of my hand dyed veriegated sock yarn. Don't ya just love it!</span>? <span style="font-size: large;">I even feel a new pattern coming on. And if you haven't yet considered it, Now's the time to start thinking about your winter knitting needs. </span> </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's been a while since I last posted. Running a successful Etsy shop can be quite a challenge to say the least. Seemed there's never enough time to do all the things I want to do. I have been sewing up a storm and finding new fabrics to share. I've also begun working on the new website and will slowly be rolling it out over the next several months, so feel free to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/itsmerebliss?ref=bookmarks" target="_blank">stop by and follow</a> it if your interested in seeing how things unfold.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is my newest Etsy Treasury. One way I use it is I always pin it to a board in <a href="http://pinterest.com/itsmerebliss/etsy-treasuries/">my Pinterest. </a> As I mentioned last week its a great way to find some super cool stuff. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here's another added benefit. Let's say you have a friend and their birthday is coming up. You have another resource for knowing what they like and dislike, and often its a deeper peak than what you have previously been able to learn in your past times with them. Or if you have a gift Idea but you're not quite sure. Use it to inspire a treasury, then Pin it. You might can open an informal dialogue about it and might find something he or she likes better. So its a win win! Your sharing the love, shopping for gifts, and driving traffic to your Etsy Store. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One challenge I've had to deal with this year is how to draw traffic to my site. For any new Etsy shop owners out there, one very important factor is "sharing the love" I have found that it is essential to create interesting treasuries. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/MzQwNjYwNzd8MjcyMjM0ODczOQ/extra-extra?index=1&ref=pr_treasury_more&atr_uid="><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj91lyNnQje1taLDuztcnp2kstJABHtZ6DA4hcvVUDfVJpPO0Y26MnA0RMpaQBjVEgY9reyLV8zE3GHg2PMJGmO589a9POIB9GarlBA2UWA51ipi5-npAb9ooqAloCx-6sdFsf3eXnj0jg/s1600/pinterest+16.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Why are Treasuries so important? They show others what your interested in. This leads to people with similar likes and dislikes following your likes and dislikes. So doesn't it seem reasonable that a friend of a friend of a follower, might be in the market for what you are selling?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">It may seem simple and there are a lot of other benefits when you start to evaluate deeper. But this is really a huge part. Its the kind of thing you do if you are not really into pushy sales, but you want to share with as many people as possible. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Plus you end up finding some super cool stuff along the way. Some of the best gifts I've given have come from some really cool treasuries. ;)</span></div>

So I'm sorry for anyone who may have visited and been frustrated about not being able to reach me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If there are followers still out there, here's the scivvy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After not being able to knit due to a repetitive motion injury to my right arm brought on by really fast, really intense knitting, I had to move my focus to fabric. The trouble is I have a lot of creativity and a deep seeded need to share that but not being able to knit killed me. No more patterns, no more cute little critters. :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was sad but alas, what could be done? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well here's what I've been up to. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiSYOGW-1Gf8hm8A9kfOuwvx2LIk93mxzBBSXTsLfWIDa3G0r5guH8WVkFX_P8gXgPhOxLnpL1HvW4WEI57U7bL-nPHslRlyOFxRMexmOTmhHqL-2QFXqeM40q6STST71Akp0WVbiRXBA/s1600/pinterest+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiSYOGW-1Gf8hm8A9kfOuwvx2LIk93mxzBBSXTsLfWIDa3G0r5guH8WVkFX_P8gXgPhOxLnpL1HvW4WEI57U7bL-nPHslRlyOFxRMexmOTmhHqL-2QFXqeM40q6STST71Akp0WVbiRXBA/s1600/pinterest+3.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In May 2012 after returning to my day job after a nice long 3 week vacation, I found that my boss whom I had grown to love in the past 8 years had moved on. I had been faced with the challenge of learning to work with and trust an entirely new manager, and that can be wrought with its own set of issues. I did my best, tried to be the dinosaur that I was. I had suddenly become one of the longest employees there and many of the staff now looked to me for guidance and leadership. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I did well. I'm not going to be modest here. I knew my stuff, I was organized, and I was an excellent resource for not only the staff but also the green manager. So in the evenings when I went home, I poured my heart and soul into sewing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The fruits of my labor finally paid off when in October of the same year, business in my Etsy store took off. After earning triple my regular hourly full time wage, I could not justify resisting the urge to take the leap. And it could not have come at a more appropriate time. New boss, new rules, new environment, new responsibilities and no new wage to match? It was a no brainer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I'm not officially a successful Etsy shop owner. It has had its ups and downs, each week has and continues to be a new challenge, but as I approach the year mark, I felt it was time to perhaps cut the ties with my knitting business and move on with the new. I'm excited to start sharing the lessons I've learned this past year. As I'm sure I never would have accomplished what I have had I not changed my way of thinking. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some of you may remember my "thinking error" phase. I still use it, and practice it every day. I still have thinking errors, but I can usually work my way through them very quickly now. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I hope everyone is well, and I will be posting in a new direction from here on out. I'm sure it will be an interesting journey. If nothing else, it'll be a great place to share my opinions and insights without being judged. Prepare to enter the "No Judgements Allowed" Zone. ;)</span></div>

I do plan to have them all downloadable through Ravelry, however this does take time. I have tried downloading the patterns from several different computers and have had no problems. Nor have I needed to log into the site to download.<br /><br />If you are one having issues, please feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:mybb@comcast.net">mybb@comcast.net</a>. I'm always happy to email the most current version, no questions asked. I'm also very good at answering questions, because I know that we all understand things a little differently.<br /><br />Thank you for your continued support and patience. And you can look forward to some revised old favorites as well as a new critter that I've been working on lately. I hope to have them available very soon, so stay tuned...<br /><br />BobbiUnknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938891605602894692.post-17595338184360406032011-04-22T16:04:00.000-07:002011-04-22T16:18:29.244-07:00BETTER BUNNEE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglBiKFsTR7wq3IJC-78jVTgmU9Cel1vXh3olRHgkyAKMiUt56VNZjti9Uuy9LOT8GChAGXlwrtSEGlcRkN8qnLBn5jwtiBZXlTbHw_IrL-aJLK4wCOYZMOBkopEPrvTpZcqhM-kp-yuZc/s1600/100_6997.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598550640670838226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglBiKFsTR7wq3IJC-78jVTgmU9Cel1vXh3olRHgkyAKMiUt56VNZjti9Uuy9LOT8GChAGXlwrtSEGlcRkN8qnLBn5jwtiBZXlTbHw_IrL-aJLK4wCOYZMOBkopEPrvTpZcqhM-kp-yuZc/s400/100_6997.JPG" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Happy Easter Weekend everyone.

Of course its always nice to know that our work is appreciated and that someone will enjoy it as much as we do, but it also gives me a chance to work through a pattern to refine it and to make modifications to the design.

Woo Hoo! So if you're in the neighborhood visiting or whatever you may be doing, you should stop in and check them out. I've been busily working on pattern layouts and boy let me tell you, graphic designers sure do a lot of work. So when you look at a magazine, a book, or a poster, especially one that you like and that is interesting, just remember, that it likely took someone hours or days, or even weeks to come up with something that is appealing. It's tougher than you'd think. Many of you know that I have been revising and redesigning layouts for my patterns for several weeks now, and after all this, I still only barely have a couple layouts that I am happy with. So I will continue on and am thoroughly enjoying all the learning that has taken place lately.<br /><br />In addition, I want to introduce our new color line of Sock Yarn Solids. I have been obsessed with coming up with patterns that call for sock yarn that are not socks. And while that is still something I have in mind, I have discovered some new colors that I felt needed to be made into new Sock Yarn Solids. But this color line is not nearly complete. And as of now, I only have two dyed up. I expect to due more in the weeks to come and will likely share each one on our Facebook page. And if you haven't already discovered, we have a Facebook page, so like us or share us or whatever else you can do with us there.<br /><br />Now without further adeiu here are the two newest colors in the Mybootee Family!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDK8Fx-tH_46laPVLV2GxQOswftzWUta7Y-SXNaYmqnMF4LezDJIPptxpsU6vFuuz_tC4h1r-Jet4F-3Es73nwyyscuvWX5JbSpRDhHPKhLdBmVXL2U1fnK_ILgcfcg686eGfNXo_hEPY/s1600/Sangria.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586563855265685858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDK8Fx-tH_46laPVLV2GxQOswftzWUta7Y-SXNaYmqnMF4LezDJIPptxpsU6vFuuz_tC4h1r-Jet4F-3Es73nwyyscuvWX5JbSpRDhHPKhLdBmVXL2U1fnK_ILgcfcg686eGfNXo_hEPY/s320/Sangria.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7PnC4AvdFA2XfBcReIRTQ94rvt53vIU_tCUYYaKp6ZhEA9pGHEguHMJWz0lGUqv0aKFEyzw-TXz4kRrMgLRdS02o6VbHxoRb6V1igTL9pQT56Ml2B8jfgSGeDTTF7bIBSrVJgxNXcDJE/s1600/Pacifika.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586563764067513890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7PnC4AvdFA2XfBcReIRTQ94rvt53vIU_tCUYYaKp6ZhEA9pGHEguHMJWz0lGUqv0aKFEyzw-TXz4kRrMgLRdS02o6VbHxoRb6V1igTL9pQT56Ml2B8jfgSGeDTTF7bIBSrVJgxNXcDJE/s320/Pacifika.jpg" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938891605602894692.post-71888659389884369682011-03-04T08:05:00.000-08:002011-03-05T12:37:36.440-08:00Now in spanish!<a href="http://juntitoscrafts.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:130%;">I just made a new friend in Spain! </span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">She has generously translated my Babee Chullo pattern into spanish and is also willing to answer questions about the translation and the pattern. Now I realize that mostly everyone reading this blog, speaks english because after all how could you read it unless you did. But I figure, since some of us are bilangual (me excluded), then it might be of interest.<br /><br />The ulitmate goal is for me to publish all my patterns in translated languages so that more people can share in the fun, but this will take time. So anyone who is interested in translating some or all of my other patterns, and whom I can direct questions to, would be welcome. And I would obviously provide them with the patterns free of charge. If for some reason, they choose a pattern that is already offered for free, I would be happy to arrange some other type of trade.<br /><br />I am very excited about this new adventure, and I hope to do my part in helping the fabulous english patterns reach a whole different group of knitters.<br /><br />Incidentally for any designers who might be reading this, the Spanish patterns are far and few in between so if you speak spanish, that's a great way to share more of your work!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938891605602894692.post-44610695829561471422011-02-28T14:19:00.000-08:002011-02-28T14:26:45.523-08:00New Kits!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJjsiEWAVpQaPCWCsJKGO-E8X1KEbrtqAVdi8pNNvPX6j0OwxksVIlBb2k5Y2c9Cs7D-tt9mh6vh8SY2e48WietfjA3-IDuI89fedyPnFnRQkTZYXXf8BH-FhGWjznseWFqhyphenhyphene7JUJW9U/s1600/100_6539.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 378px; HEIGHT: 319px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578869145429740258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJjsiEWAVpQaPCWCsJKGO-E8X1KEbrtqAVdi8pNNvPX6j0OwxksVIlBb2k5Y2c9Cs7D-tt9mh6vh8SY2e48WietfjA3-IDuI89fedyPnFnRQkTZYXXf8BH-FhGWjznseWFqhyphenhyphene7JUJW9U/s320/100_6539.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTDmyU9n7xhK5S_SzJ0DyzxsgsEQ9VtTsFz5Rgo_v1wYpbzyxEvQZzDrbDolKrvz-XxXlwoRYvXrEYvwdRk5w2T7_8ztK8J0mLwYJIEU2m23EE30-lBlO2DKGpN9Sm23Pg_ISi0uFfbN0/s1600/100_6542.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578869139453279234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTDmyU9n7xhK5S_SzJ0DyzxsgsEQ9VtTsFz5Rgo_v1wYpbzyxEvQZzDrbDolKrvz-XxXlwoRYvXrEYvwdRk5w2T7_8ztK8J0mLwYJIEU2m23EE30-lBlO2DKGpN9Sm23Pg_ISi0uFfbN0/s320/100_6542.JPG" /></a></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">It's official folks.

I don't want you to think I was complaining about the experience. The goal of it was to acutally share my personal struggle and how I over came it. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">It's easy to experience an event and go directly to the worst possible scenario. We have all done it at least once ;) </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Many of you may remember my personal experiences about thinking errors and how being aware of them has helped me become what I feel to be a better person. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">My initial thoughts, during the events of my last post were me, jumping to the worste possible conclusion. I was catastrphizing by mind reading someone elses motives. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I knew I was doing that and I struggled with my reason and my emotion for several days until finally reason won. So If I seemed like I was simply complaining, I do apologize. I am sure that there has been no malintent and that any similarities between my designs and others is purely coincidental. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The main thing I wanted to express was my learning process and that we all have our moments of frustration and misunderstandings, and that we all can get through them. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">So with that said, I am proud to announce that I have had a breakthrough on my desigining, and I no longer feel in a funk. I have been excited and feeling good all week and I am eager to continue this trend. So while I have my two Super Secret Scarf Patterns in the works and testing soon to begin, I have redesigned the look of one of my early patterns. For a short time, I am willing to offer 5 free copies of this pattern for some proof reading.

I feel that I must clarify something that is weighing heavily on my soul lately. But in doing so I want to make it clear that I'm not asking for sympathy, I'm not in the mind set of "poor me" either. I just want to express this the best way I can so that I can get it off my chest.<br /><br />I believe that inherently people are good. That being said, I have been a trusting person and for the most part willing to take most people at their word.<br /><br />When I design, pattern, I feel that it is very important to be able to look at several different ideas for inspiration, choose specific design elements, and put them together in a completely unique way. I don't believe that if you make 5 mofications (or whatever the magic number is) then you can call a pattern your own. Someone worked hard on that pattern and I don't think that its fair to the original designer. It is for this reason that I design patterns the way I do. I live by the golden rule as much as possible, and I over look it when others don't. I realize that its ok to hold myself to a certain standard, but It's not fair to hold others to the same. Because the fact of the matter is, they likely don't have the same values and standards I have.<br /><br />I worked very hard at the last pattern I designed. I decided what I wanted to make. Found a design element that I felt was unique to that item and pondered it for months until I came up with a way that I could make it. Not only make it, but make it in a way that it could be conveyed in a pattern for others to make. After sending out multiple copies for the testing phase, I saw at least 3 very similar designs pop up. Ok, so the first two popped up and I thought, "there's no denying a good idea and it was only a matter of time before someone else like me would come up with the same idea. But when the third one popped up, which looked identical to my original concept, I had to wonder. Am I not protecting my patterns enough? Is it possible that there might be people masquerading in the testing pool to get ideas then steal them? Of course not! Why would they go to that much trouble?<br /><br />So reason has one out. Ok so the third pattern I saw ended up not being what mine was intended for. And it does look like its contructed in a different fashion. And even though the designer originally had in mind the exact item I did, it's not the same thing.<br /><br />My lesson from this whole experience? In my idea that people are inherently good, am I misguiding myself into being foolish? Should I be more selective about my testers? How else can I protect my design until its been formally published? If those of you who are reading this have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.<br /><br />And again, I'm not on my soapbox today to illicit sympathy or any other attention. The main purpose was for me to therapeutically release this concern that has been troubling my thoughts lately, and come up with a plan of action that will help me to avoid these feelings in the future. This is a place where I can be proactive, and this is a time when I can alter my initial thoughts to be a more level headed and successful individual.<br /><br />So now you know why I chose this particular image for this post. Anyone who has worked with me in the past who would like to test out one of my latest patterns, can find mE on Ravelry as Mybb.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938891605602894692.post-62487274240751634882011-02-05T15:35:00.001-08:002011-02-05T15:53:25.603-08:00MYBOOTEE SURPLUS FINGERLESS MITTS<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJzC8ULYdpIMIp53W6Dp5HEbeI6LEdmjs-PN0x9YESeb7Zfdeu2NhJfhKNGAC8wuWjMXzYCi0bi4YHOKfPhXRApl8QIpRq1AX0ZB3Ig6Bez5zu8RuNgn7ge3RZxfksHbBgLJB3aQzPmng/s1600/Elaine+Speckles+2.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570353892348445506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJzC8ULYdpIMIp53W6Dp5HEbeI6LEdmjs-PN0x9YESeb7Zfdeu2NhJfhKNGAC8wuWjMXzYCi0bi4YHOKfPhXRApl8QIpRq1AX0ZB3Ig6Bez5zu8RuNgn7ge3RZxfksHbBgLJB3aQzPmng/s320/Elaine+Speckles+2.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2PdROVdyiA7dq9sAL797QmqS6gZkUuMbe_PFNTfWniGoYEjNvdc6A7BovkND6mZZvjxibWfkt6uPCFo1hCQxDkSdVdE8Rlh3GnAsWLzfsKayH2k0JaQeNmYwTk-mrCJxvC2_r6cLznPQ/s1600/Main.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570353688200796162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2PdROVdyiA7dq9sAL797QmqS6gZkUuMbe_PFNTfWniGoYEjNvdc6A7BovkND6mZZvjxibWfkt6uPCFo1hCQxDkSdVdE8Rlh3GnAsWLzfsKayH2k0JaQeNmYwTk-mrCJxvC2_r6cLznPQ/s320/Main.JPG" /></a> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Here's the latest pattern I've been working on.

As I sit at work today trying to find every excuse not to work I am drawn to shoe shopping, which due to my size 11 feet always presents a stimulating challenge. Then I have some of the seasonal goodies that inevitably show up at this time of year to tempt me. I then proceed to paruse the internet, looking for the next brilliant idea. Somthing I can use up the myriad of designer fabric scraps that I have amassed during the last year. So many scraps and no good solid ideas.<br /><br />In my search I came across a wonderful blog. I love the fabrics she uses, and her vision. I also was particularly struck by her statement "I am very happy for small businesses to sell items made from my PDF Patterns." There are a lot of things that this statement tells me. The main one is that she loves what she does and she wants to share with others. I so rarely come accross other designers that are willing to share their ideas so that everyone may benefit from them.
