“Making it thru Monday” Review #35

December 30, 2013 by Kathy Lashley 2 Comments

I’m going to combine the last two weeks of “Making it thru Monday” because of the holidays. It’s been a great year to see everyone’s projects! I can’t wait to see all the wonderful creations this upcoming year.

Ananicole made this wonderful shawl for her daughter to attend a party. She designed the shawl herself and it’s definitely worthy of many praises! The color of the scarf is really beautiful as well along with the exquisite design.

The next project is by Jennifer from Stew-Art Creations. Jennifer has a great eye for matching colors and this project is no different. If you are interested in making one for your own, here’s the link to the pattern. It’s not a free pattern but well worth the cost for a great design.

This past week there were three projects submitted, and I’m going to show all of them. These ladies always do a fabulous job and their work is fantastic!

The top 4 pictures are by Elizabeth from Crochet Cuties by Elizabeth, the WIP is by Kristen from “Kreative Studios” and the bear was made by Elena from Beatrice Ryan Designs.

Thank you ladies for all your spectacular work!

If you would like to submit a project, email me a picture to elkstudiocrochet@gmail.com or you can upload your photo to the ELK Studio Facebook page!

Have a great day and be blessed!

ELK Studio – From the Heart December Event 2013

December 17, 2013 by Kathy Lashley 7 Comments

Writing the blog for the results of our ELK Studio – From the Heart charity events brings me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I’ve come to admire the established core of women that have chosen to take part in serving and meeting the needs of other people.

We decided to serve The Violence Prevention Center, in Belleville,IL this month. They are a crisis intervention group with a 24hr hotline for women affected by domestic violence. The center provides a safe place to stay for the women and children while meeting their needs.

It brings me such pleasure to tell you that we’ve had 120 crochet projects donated to the center this month! Take a look!

I want to thank these women for helping to make this month so successful, especially when most of them were busy crocheting projects for their customers, families and friends trying to prepare for Christmas!

1. Elena Hunt- Beatrice Ryan Designs
2. Ashley Lanier- Willing Hands Crochet
3. Elizabeth Dye- Crocheted Cuties by Elizabeth
4. Johanna Rollins- Needles, Hook & Hand
5. Arlette Cheramie- Tying Knots
6. Maria Bitner- Pattern Paradise
7. Liz Hasler
8. Carolyn Calderon- The Purple Poncho
9. Kathy Lashley- ELK Studio – Handcrafted Crochet Designs
10. Jennifer Stewart- Stew-Art Creations
11. Jamie Morris
12. Ash Car – Craftin’ Ashlen

It is such an honor and humbling experience to be in a group with women that share the same vision, yet lives hundred and maybe even thousands of miles apart. It makes no difference that we’ve never met because we believe in giving back to other people. It’s just fantastic!

If you are looking for a group for just fun or maybe take part in our charity events, come join us!

Have a great day and be blessed!

“Making it thru Monday” Review #32

December 2, 2013 by Kathy Lashley 2 Comments

As usual, the projects displayed last week were fabulous. It’s always such a treat to see what everyone has worked on the past week, and I have to say that “Making it thru Monday” has become one of the highlights of my week.

Debra submitted a WIP (work in progress) a few weeks back of a blanket that she was working on, and I knew it would be gorgeous once she finished. Well, she did finished the blanket for all to see last week and no doubt it was spectacular. Her arrangement of stitching and color coordination was right on the money. I’m so happy she decided to share her work of art for all to see.

The next submission comes from Beverly of Cozy Cactus Creations. I must admit, the first thing that caught my eye was the adorable baby and then of course, the wonderfully designed project. How cuddly warm this hooded scarf would be for those cold winter days? If you would love to make this design, it’s right here at your fingertips on Ravelry.

I want to thank everyone that joined in last week for the fun! If you would like to add your project to “Making it thru Monday”, you can email me at elkstudiocrochet@gmail.com or upload your picture on my ELK Studio’s Facebook page.

Now you can go grab the button for your blog!

By the way, today is Cyber Monday, so let’s celebrate!

Have a great day and be blessed!

Kathy
