“Making it thru Monday” Review #23

September 23, 2013 by Kathy Lashley 8 Comments

Another spectacular week of great projects on my ELK Studio’s Facebook page! Be sure to head over and check everything out and maybe show off one of your wonderful creations too!

Here are the most viewed submissions from last week!

Erica from Zo-Zo-s Space created this beautiful tunic. You can see by the picture that her stitching is perfectly aligned and everything looks so uniform, not to mention the color looks great on her too!. Erica also makes some wonderful jewelry which takes an eye for detail, and it certainly rubs off on her big projects as well. Her new Facebook cover page will get you started if you want to take a look at her work. There was a little difficulty in finding the free pattern but Erica was able to find it here. I hope you enjoy!

The next submission is from Debra and she has made my Seasonal Bliss beanie and headband. I really love her color choice and asked her about the yarn. Debra used Red Heart white and a color (#609) called Secret which gives the different hues of red. I can see people skiing down the slopes with this on can’t you? It made my day last Monday to see Debra’s version of my design because nothing could be more humbling and exciting at the same time.

Now go grab your “I’ve Been Featured” button to display on your blog!

Thanks to these beautiful women, “Making it thru Monday” was a smash hit! I look forward to seeing you over there!

Have a great day and be blessed.

“Saturday Night Share” Feature #4

September 21, 2013 by Kathy Lashley Leave a Comment

This week’s “Saturday Night Share” feature is Amber Hoppe of Hoppe’s Crochet. It was a great opportunity to get to know a little more about Amber and the person behind the business. Here’s what she had to say:

1. Name

Amber Hoppe

2. Name of business (Facebook, website, Etsy, etc.)

My Facebook and Etsy shop are both called Hoppe’s Crochet

3. How did you learn to crochet?

One of my dearest friends taught me. She was making adorable beanies and I wanted to learn. I was awful at first and was very challenged by it. Persistence and practice paid off and now I’m in love

“Making it thru Monday” Review 21

September 9, 2013 by Kathy Lashley 2 Comments

Elk Studio’s Facebook page was rocking last Monday with some great submissions! We had some slouchy hats, a little girl’s purse and even some baskets for a future wedding. The top 2 submissions were both incredible in their own way and here they are below!

The blanket comes from Judy and it’s a masterpiece wouldn’t you agree? The awesome blanket was for her handsome grandson you see in the picture. There is so much fine detail that went into the blanket and the edging is awesome too although it’s not shown in this picture. Judy did an amazing job and I respect her for the amount of time it takes to make a project of this size!

The cute Pac-Man hats that you see were from Debra. I don’t know how many of you remember Pac-Man but it was my all time favorite game as a girl. I could play that game for hours! What I find amazing is how you can take a simple beanie hat and turn it into something totally different with a few manipulations. Debra is so talented and ELK Studio has been blessed with many of her projects on “Making it thru Monday”!

I want to thank both of these lovely women for submitting their projects on “Making it thru Monday”. If you would like to take part you can email me a photo of your latest work in progress or completed project! Let’s see what you’ve been up to lately and let everyone support your work. It’s also a great opportunity for a designer to see what type of reaction your project may get before releasing the pattern. I’ve had a few designers actually do that and the results have been very positive.

Have a great day and be blessed!

Kathy
