Thoughts on Writing

Last month was stagnant with craft projects so I'm going to do the update every 2 months rather than monthly.

I've been thinking about my writing and how to increase or improve the amount I actually do write to get back into swing of it.

I've decided that the Iron Wolves series is going to be free so it can be found on Inkitt. My stand alone stories from the past NaNoWriMo are going to get an overhaul and I'll be putting those on sale on Lulu. But I don't think that will be happening any time soon.

I've also started looking at Twitch, Youtube and other media platforms to expand my presence. I haven't decided how but I do know that I want to incorporate education, writing, crafting, and gaming into the channel. It still requires a bit more research and experimentation but I'll see.

March Craft Update

I like this layout, it works pretty well. Anyway, here's this month's update.

Completed Pieces
This month had me playing with plants. I've had Fang for a while so I expanded my garden apartment to add herbs, mushrooms, and strawberries.

  









Aside from the plants, this month was sparse in the way of craft things. Been working on a lot of large projects.

 A small cross stitch fan from a kit I got off my sister. There's a series of these so I have the bamboo one in my to do list.

Random drawing. I haven't drawn or painted in a while so I decided to draw something. Not entirely happy with it but it's ok.

 Random toilet roll holder. Was playing with different crochet repeating patterns and made this. Needed one anyway so it was worth the test.

Lastly, gloves made with Red Heart "Lisa" yarn. I have a scarf and a pair of long socks to do before I finish this set and move on to the next set. 







Completed Pieces
- Shop
The lemon commission is still being made in a batch for sale in my Etsy shop once. I've ordered some custom tags and other business themed items to make it more "official" like. Hopefully I get this up and running soon.

- Personal
I've started a Google Sheet with information on what I have in progress so I can check them off as I go. I've got 10 of each listed for Shop, Personal, and Commission.

Here's some teasers for my personal things I have in progress.

- Commission
In terms of commission items, I have a few hairclips my sister has asked me to make for her on the list but I haven't commenced anything as yet.

Writing In Progress
Writing has stagnated. Really not much to add here at the moment. Hopefully I'll get back into this soon.

Creating Patterms

I've been looking at making my own patterns and selling them on Craftsy. At the moment I'm experimenting and attempting to create adjustable leg warmers.

I've been making things for my Japan trip at the end of the year and I feel comfortable enough to start making my own patterns. I'll probably make a few small items like yoga socks, leg warmers, and other items before I move on to bigger patterns.

I'll put photo progress on here each month with the updates and I'll also put a link to my patterns on Craftsy as well once I have them up.
