Long Time No See Darlin

It has been a long time my dear. My last post was in September of 2012. Not a good way to keep up a blog's readership huh? So let me fill you in a little on what I've been doing that has kept me away from this oh-so-important part of my life.

Quilting.


In July I started to get in a bunch of tee shirts with future hopes and dreams of being a quilt. Three were from  one person, and the rest just seemed to pile up. Between running the kids to school and extra-curricular activities, my life suddenly became booked! So I had to put my art quilt explorations to the side and concentrate fully on making some new t-shirt quilts. Here are some that I completed during that time.

So my New Year's resolution is to start blogging at least twice a week. Even if it is a photo blog. I've become active in knitting again and am going to learn to Knook. If you haven't heard of this technique yet, it is a combination of using a crochet hook with a string attached to the end of it through a hole in the end and completing knit stitches.It looks like fun! I think it would be applicable to most ANY knitting pattern, not just a specific Knook pattern. But more on that later. Anyway, I hope you all have a fantastic New Year and that you make the most out of 2013.

New Facebook Page and Contest

I have debated for a while if I wanted to start a new Facebook page. I haven't done it since I started Freckle Dots back in November. I had done it once for Cutsie Poochie, then again for Fantasy Dream Knits and Bead-N-Knot. Every time I start a new one, it's a whole process trying to get people to the page just to like it. Well, this time I decided I'd wait a few months and see how things go, then enter the kingdom of Facebook. and here it is: http://www.facebook.com/freckledots.

I'm also having a contest! I am giving away a set of 6 custom pot holders, embroidered with a 4" x 4" design and background color of your choice. The "Love Bugs" below are an example of what you will get. The contest will run until the page reaches 100 likes. As soon as it does, I will hold a random drawing and the winner will get this set valued at $40. So come on over and have a look and leave a like. :)
