I have had the great fortune of finding a jewel of a photographer in the form of Nic of
NJ Cooney Photography. I came across Nic when I was looking for a local professional photographer to work with collaboratively. I have to say, she has surpassed my expectations and her work is awesome beyond words. I sent her a sample of my work...and I almost collapsed when I opened her email yesterday and saw her photos of the hat!!! They are stunning..and they capture the very essence of my work so perfectly. I respect her...I salute her, and I cannot wait to send her more stuff!! I already did. Just wish I could work faster!! lol.. I feel inspired and motivated to do more...So, yes, expect more exciting and fun patterns in the near future and beyond!
I have also been lucky to be part of some wonderful giveaways hosted by a couple of photographers. The first was
Moxie Image Photography, who was celebrating reaching 4000 Facebook fans. I would like to thank her for sending a heck of a lot of new fans my way! It was so much fun and as a result, I have gained new fans and gotten to know more people who like to crochet and knit. I have just signed up to be a vendor in the giveaway being hosted by
Tonya DeAnda Photography, as she celebrates reaching ELEVEN THOUSAND Facebook fans!! It's a staggering number of fans, but if you see her work, you know why. Her work is fabulous. So, I am looking forward to that. The giveaway ends when she reaches 16 000 fans. Trust me, it won't take her very long!!
On a different note, I joined an Etsy team called '
Crochet UK' at the beginning of September. I have participated in the team discussions, but yesterday I got a wonderful surprise, from out of the blue when the Team Captain promoted me to the position of Team Leader!
Now, that doesn't mean I am a crochet champion or guru...just that Emmaline recognized my great passion for crochet! It's pretty new, this team, and still pretty small, but that's how all communities start..right? So, if you are at all interested, be a part of the Crochet UK Etsy team! We'll have loads of fun! :-)
With all this going on...and my wonderful customers at my other shop Tafferty Designs, everything is just so exciting for me at the moment. I am looking forward to so much more! Now...back to more knitting and crocheting! I have some gorgeous, sublimely soft, thick yarn on my knitting needles right now...in a scrumptious plum colour...You'll have to wait to see what it is I am making! :-)
