This past week has been amazing – the response to my succulents<\/a> has been phenomenal (e.g. well over 600 pins on Pinterest; mentions on Craft<\/a>, Neatorama<\/a> and Cheezburger<\/a>). <\/p>\n

I hoped all my hard work designing these would pay off, but I didn’t expect them to outsell half my existing pattern catalogue within a week…<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s Groundhog Day!<\/h2>\n

\n“He comes out. He looks around. He wrinkles up his little nose. He sees his shadow…”<\/p>\n

\"crocheted
\n<\/a>
\n…and that means we’re in for, what, 6 more weeks of baking hot summer? As (probably) the only groundhog in Africa, my little buddy is justifiably confused! (Note: that scrubby patch he’s sitting on is all that remains of my lawn…)
\n<\/em>
\nHappy Groundhog Day, everyone! I’m hoping we’ll have time to watch the movie tonight…<\/p>\n

Review and Win contest<\/h2>\n

January’s ‘Review and Win’ winner is Linda U<\/strong>, with her Emperor Penguin Family <\/a> review:<\/p>\n

\"emperor<\/a><\/p>\n

These patterns are a perfect combination, not only as a beautiful penguin family, but also for practicing colour changes. I recommend you start with the baby penguin, since it is only 2 colours to work with, then continue with the adult.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congrats Linda – I’ll email you to find out which pattern you’d like as your prize \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

To be entered into this month’s draw for a free pattern of your choice, just write a review of any product in my shop<\/a> – thank you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

February CALs<\/h2>\n

Get all lovey-dovey with crocheted hearts and flowers in the Valentine’s Crochet-Along<\/a>, with my free (donationware) heart and rose patterns:<\/p>\n

\"Valentine's<\/p>\n

And\/or come and work on your succulent garden together with everyone else and join the Plant-Along<\/a>! We worked out that between the 8 cactus and 8 succulent patterns, there are 1820 possible combinations of “4 different plants in 1 pot” – I wonder how many of those we’ll see in the CAL?<\/p>\n

\"Plant-Along<\/p>\n

I hope you’ll join us…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
