Been a while since I updated and I can't do it justice now - I'm currently on holidays - which included leaving my laptop and patterns at home!!!

I'll be back in a couple of days and will hopefully update all then - there will be a few to update, I had a bit of an orgy of pattern finishing before my holiday and I have forgotten how far behind I have left livejournal.

I have a feeling the last time I tried to update I had so many problems that I gave up, which might mean that there is a bulk upload to do. there are a few more lolitas - I know I finished the set (so both male Lolitas- dandy and Kodono, plus another two wa and qi...), there's another Steampunk and at least two pinups - Asian Corset and Blue Dreddies.

All sounds very interesting, I have a feeling there's another as well, but can't remember what it is!

Until the update...

I really need to update more often. I have been trying to sell some of my patterns along with my designing artistic friend lillykitten , pretty much sharing her stall with her. I have had a lot of positive feedback as well as selling a number of the patterns to different people, which has been very encouraging. While I have been there it has made it easy to work on some of my sample stitching and I have been doing a lot of work on Punk Ribbon as well as starting Cancer and Sagittarius.

Over the last couple of weeks though, this has changed. I was asked to complete a comission piece - both pattern and complete stitch for a lady. It made it a hectic couple of weeks as the pattern wasn't one of the ones I had already completed, but rather a completely new one. lillykitten had to send me the image, then I had to change it so that I could get it ready. I have started it, but have yet to take any major photos of my progress, which I will do. I have until December to finish it, so most of my work is centred around that.

On the pattern front, I have almost completed a number of patterns - the larger companion piece to the Dreadlocks Bookmark, Blue Dreadlocks is almost finished and I am working on a number of Christmas designs - White Christmas, the Christmas Fairy, a Christmas Snow Leopard. I am also anticipating that there will be a few more Christmas designs courtesy of  lillykitten and a few more for Halloween other than just my darling Deva.

Other than that it is fairly difficult to keep up with all my stitching stuff and do a good job at work - I'm now working full time a decent distance from home, which makes a long travelling time. I also can't really leave work at work, as much as I try, people who say my job is easy because of the supposed working hours and the holiday time are kidding themselves. But I will do my best to keep updating frequently and finishing as many of my patterns as I can.

I have also been looking into a website for my patterns, but it is not very easy to do - and I'm not sure if I have the money to hire web designers and such. If you see something you'd like to stitch, feel free to message me about it. My patterns will eventually be available through lillykitten 's website once it's up at www.lillykitten.com once it's completely up and running. I am also planning on putting my patterns on the Needlework Show next time it shows - when I have enough patterns stitched to give a good showing!

And I think that's about it!
