Bringing back the crafts!

Today is the first craft inspired post of the new Meggilu House! I have to be honest, I was a little bit hesitant about having a mixed blog featuring all my different interests and hobbies, but if I didn't I think I'd either get bored or go crazy. My focus, ideas, and interests have a tendency to cycle and change. That's just who I am. So this should blog represent who I am, right?! So, I designated Tuesday's to the art and craft themed posts!

Do you remember the mandrake/mandragora hats I would make for Blythe dolls? Well, I have been planning for a while to make the pattern available for fellow Blythe and crochet lovers to buy to make mandy hats themselves! Then I thought, why not make a little e-book featuring a bunch of different craft patterns I designed? I would get to have fun with designing the book's layout too! So exciting!

Now my first task is to create and gather more sewing, knitting, crochet patterns for Blythe. Maybe I will also add some furniture or prop patterns! Then, I will transcribe them all and begin working on photos and book design! I will be sure to keep posting updates about the book's progress here as I go along!

Stay tuned for tomorrow when I will be introducing my new Blythe girls I "adopted" while in Japan! They will be the future models of the book!

It's so beautiful up here.

Heading home later tonight. I can't wait to get home and finish up commissions!! I've also been thinking about finishing (or starting ^_^;) a knitting project. I have half a pair of mittens, partial cat bed, bag I need to ribbit, and a Mandragora hat for someone. Let's get to work!!

Christmas is coming and I can't believe it. So soon! Thanks to all of this work I will have money for Christmas presents this year. Exciting!

I've made myself very busy!

I have many commissions this month. I have to work fasterrr!
Blythe hats, Blythe hats, Blythe hats!
