Just a Get-By Post

Hey hey, it's Kayy!

I just wanted to make a quick post, seeing as I havn't posted lately, due to laziness which led to nothing to post about! D:
But don't worry, I plan to get pretty crafty now, summer's getting boring! Haha, so Ill make something, plus I have a couple thoughts to share with you all.

So first, before I get into all that, I just wanted to let you all know that we brought our beloved puppy Maki home tuesday night, and he's just a little sweety haha! I follows me around alot, and we walked a whole bunch wednsday, poor guy, got all tired out and just couldnt walk! But yeah, hes been a bit of a pain in the butt as well, I've had to stay up almost all night every night for potty breaks, but, today we got him a little kennel/cage thing so that he can stay in during the night.

Moving on...

So, I've Hobby Hopped yet again, and I am now into fiber crafts, a.k.a. Knitting and crocheting.

Hobby Hopping - Having so many hobbies you only tackle one or two at a time; The act of changing to another hobby for a any period of time for any or no reason.

So, I've gone from sewing/quilting, to knitting/crocheting. Dont worry, I will come back to sewing, I just don't know when. I might go to scrapbooking, or painting, or writing or drawing, but for now I know Im into crochet/knitting. 

I told someone, and myself, and I've been meaning to for awhile, but I will be designing a crochet dinosaur or several crochet dinosaur patterns, I want to have a whack at it ;D   I've never designed a crochet pattern before, but I'm going to try. I usually prefer knitting over crochet, but, I dont know enough knitting to design a toy, but I do know enough crochet to do so (or at least I think so)

So yeah. :) But at the moment, I'm using a free pattern to make a stuff Totoro from the Miyazaki movie,My Neighbor Totoro, and from the Ghibli Studios logo.

This is that free pattern on ravelry:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/blue-totoro (posted with permission!)

By the way, feel free to add me as a friend or send a message my way on ravelry, my username is
Kayy-A-Saurus

So yeah, thats what I just started today (well, i started the project today, but Im actually starting it as soon as I finish this blogpost :D)

Also, I said I had some, well, A thought to share with you.

My mom and I were discussing (a loooong time ago) about opening an Etsy shop for mostly crochet/knitting, but other things as well. And selling patterns on ravelry once we get good enough  to design some.

So,,yeah. thats all I wanted to share with you, Im just kinda thinking of opening an Etsy shop with my mom (just because I dont want to open two shops,and because Im a minor so I can't really open one myself anyways ;) )

So, sorry I didnt post about much, but yeah, have a wonderful night all, I'll post on how my Totoro and Dinosaur patterns turn out, bye.
