I am trying to keep my designer brain active while attempting to slog through my latest personal morass. (I don't want to get into the specifics of this right now, but I will probably share it eventually.) However, I did want to let you know that I do have two new crochet patterns available in the latest issue of Crochet Today mag...
Nothing like a cute little Wizard's Cape to turn my frown upside down! I really enjoyed creating this one. So much so that I even reproduced a larger one for myself after finishing the cape pictured above. (Come on, you all know I'll wear it.) Oh, and it's simple! Easy enough for a beginner. It's all done in single crochet. Stars and moon are appliques. Did I already mention that it's an easy peasy project???
Next up, the Bazaar Bag!
I really like designing bags. They are always challenging and don't take huge amounts of time to create (making these the perfect design projects for my current short attention span issue). The panels on this bag are worked up in two stages: the body and then the petals. It looks time consuming, but it actually works up pretty quickly. I love the way the finished product looks as well. I will probably tackle one for myself using a lighter weight yarn (the pattern in the mag calls for alpaca, which is a bit heavier than I like for a bag).
Anyway kids, that's my design scoop for now. I am working up the energy to post from time to time as I am working on several new patterns that I'd like to share with you. Things are just really messy right now, which seems to derail my ability to gather my thoughts into a coherent format. I am trying though...
Have a lovely weekend everyone! Your love and support is so important to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Love the bag!
Hang in there with whatever you're going through. Take the time you need for yourself!
Oh WOW! I LOVE that bag!! As much as I love flowers I don't know why I didn't think of that! :-) But I'm glad you did!!
Both are great designs. Hpe you get everything worked out with yourself, soon!
Oh my gosh that wizards cape is wonderful.
Must keep it in mind for when my son is older.
I got my subscription to "Crochet Today" after seeing that they often featured your woderful designs. That flower bag is on my list of projects as is the cape. My 8 year old loves all things moon and magical so I think that I will be making the cape before I make the bag though!
Keep on using yarn as therapy and know that there are lots of people that think that you are all sorts of wonderful!
Congralulations! So wow.
Lovely, both designs! Bravo!
I love the bag. I just love it.
I seen these in the crochet mag. I wam thinking about making the cape for my son!!
Too cute!! I love that you made one for yourself:)
I saw this in Crochet Today and love it! I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. Whatever they may be, prayers going up for you. Hang in there!
The cape is cute and I love the bag! I make small flowers for hats using the same type of concept-I make a circle base and then crochet the petals on. Hope everything is going well for you!
I love the the cape and the bag. They're so cute.
I love the bag! You rock!
Hello I've just found you and how happy I am that I did, guess what you come up first in line of a goggle search 'cool crochet blogs' i'm very impressed. Its funny because I'm a obsessed about kids superhero capes and had been thinking about knitting a cape that would double as a snuggle - yours is ace. I'm pleased I found you.

beautiful make.....
Absolutely adoring that bag. Any way to get it other than getting the issue of Crochet Today? Individual pattern purchase, that is?
Anyway, I hope you're trudging through life's stuff and all. <3
The cape is just plain awesome, I totally want one myself lol. How do you get your patterns published?
Thanks for sharing these amazing creations.
That bag is simply gorgeous! A real head turner.
