Something old is now something NEW!

Dahlia Hat
This past week has been an exciting one as I launched another pattern...the Dahlia Hat. I originally only had this pattern available in sizes for babies up to 12 months, but I want to expand my patterns to include most, if not all sizes. My testers were absolutely amazing and I was introduced t an amazing photographer..Valerie of Valerie Kristine Photography. She took some photos of the Dahlia Hat made by a tester and the photos are just gorgeous. The hat made by the testers were amazing. I have not shared them on Facebook as I always assume that if the testers want to share pic on the wall they would. I would hate to offend anyone!

I am still waiting to hear from the tester for the adult version of the hat. It will then also be available to purchase.  I am already working on a couple of new patterns...one of them is probably something a few people might be surprised at...but those who have followed me for a while will know my taste is as eclectic as it is vast...So, at TD Crochet Patterns, and Tafferty Designs (my ready-made shop), anything is possible! I am excited about these patterns too!

My brother is getting married next month so I have to start looking for a wedding outfit..OMG..It's almost as stressful as looking for the gown!..lol.. I have no idea what I am going to buy..or the hairstyle I will have on the day..but I like elegant styles...Oh...it's exciting! :-)

New Year..New Patterns!

Hello and happy new year! I got so busy with orders from my other shop Tafferty Designs, that I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to design patterns. However, now that I am up to date with my orders, I will have more time to design patterns for you! I did,however, design a new pattern, a Pixie Ear Flap style hat. I absolutely love it! It is so easy to follow but so stylish. That has always been my aim, to design patterns which are easy to follow, but stylish..ones that you will love. At the moment the pattern is in the size for teens an adults, but i shall be adding the sizes for babies and children soon. I already have the yarn to make the hat to send to the lovely Nic of NJ Cooney Photography for photos. I know the photos will be awesome, as always! I am also going to design a new baby diaper cover. i am just waiting for photos to be sent to me, then I will get cracking!

Right now I quite fancy fish and chips. I think that's what I will have for dinner. I have these kind of cravings every now and again, and if I don't attend to them, I can't focus on anything else!..lol..So, I'm off to the chippy!
