Woo-hoo!

Thank you, OYO! I'm thrilled and honored to be accepted! 🤩 I have so many crochet pieces to contribute. Here's the folder of the six items I submitted on the application: Own Your Own. And since then, I've whipped up a dozen more items of colorful fun - ready to go. I'm going to have to focus on my top ten. But, which ten?! 😆 Stay tuned!



I do have a teeny-tiny history of public display: My One and Only Public Display So Far. LOL

But now, this kind of display is all new territory for me. The 2026 "Own Your Own" art sale and holiday exhibition will be my first. This is an annual event at the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center, and I heart everything about it. 😍 A fund raiser for the arts center, the perfect place to pick up gorgeous gifts, and a great way for the public to get to know local artists.


I am so excited to get that letter! 🤩

For inspiration, I have so many holiday faves, like this: Winter Green. I think that one is my best presentation. 😎 Ah, but there is a whole list, a lovely long history of many more festive fun'zies.

Jellyfish Hat

  I absolutely loved making this twisted piece of colorful fun! It is a masterpiece of curly, cute craziness, all thanks to a great pattern, Twisted Jellyfish , from an amazing creator, The Twisted Hatter .  She is a crochet genius, and I am obsessed with her work. I first learned about her twisted genius pieces from my friendly friend at the Salty Stitchery  (who is another creative genius in crochet), like a starting chain of sharing nerdy crochet inspirations. Crochet Gawking .  I love this community of creators!   Look at those curls! 🤩 I love making curls, and this pattern introduced me to a couple of new techniques for widening them, plus making them do curly variations, and embellishing them with edges and fun options. I do have a longtime love affair going on with colorful curls . To me, a swirly curl is a fun variation on my first love, The Ruffle Monster . 😎 I am so happy to have learned a few new tricks about this technique for ruffle lovers....

Forest Witch Queen shawl

  I can explain. 😆 This piece exists now because I simply could not put leftovers of the Northwoods Wedding shawls into a bin that might get forgotten. I had to create something, anything, out of those leftovers, and this coronation robe for a forest witch queen is what happened. 😎 It is exactly the same base pattern as the gorgeous Granny Shawls I made for the bridesmaids of my dearest deary dear, Moriah. And the only added embellishment, just a teeny bit of extra yarn, nothing much really, is the faux fur that I thought would be wonderful trim, but uh, didn't really work out for a wedding look.  Yea, so that failed experiment went into the leftover bin, but it never left my mind.  I had way too much fun making this monster pseudo-shawl: Queen of the Woods .  And now I plan on making several more. I'm thinking that the pink poodle faux fur will be perfect trim for the next one, with purple base yarn, and possibly sparkle fringe, also a ruffle or two. 😂 Faux Fur...

Holiday Sparkle

  A sparkly scarf makes the perfect holiday gift wrap! 😎 It is like wrapping up with a handful of tinsel. This amazing yarn isn't actually yarn, I think. Maybe. Not sure, exactly. 😻 It is basically a metallic thread that is simply gorgeous, so colorful and sparkle'tastic, it is like disco ball magic for crochet art. 🤩 I bought four shimmering cakes of this at my favorite yarn store , Yarned & Dangerous . I used only two of the cakes for this little mesh scarf project, and now I'm wondering what I should create with the other two. I'm feeling something kinda disco-dream-like in the future, maybe. 🪩 The two strands of sparkle yarn makes it look so fancy, but this simple mesh scarf is not difficult. Just the same easy peasy pattern that I love doing. A few more examples... Sunrise Sherbert ,   Autumn Trio ,  Blue Moon , Devil'icious ,  Hippie Chicks , Pretty, Simple ,   Yea, just a few. 😆 That's a half dozen examples of several dozens of e...
