Little Kujo Designs

Hi everyone! Sorry for the silence on this blog in the past months. I've been working hard on getting my custom accessories and bag shop up and running. I got side-tracked along the way with my knitting groups and the projects I've been knitting and crocheting.

I have lots of pictures to post up and I plan on spending the rest of the year catching up and adding new things for your entertainment. While I'm writing these posts, please visit Little Kujo Designs to see what I've been doing with my time. Also leave a message and let me know which project is your favorite in the Portfolio.

I'll leave you with these pretty pictures of some of my projects from the past three months.

New Goodies - July & August

Since July was a slow month on my blog, I decided to update everything right now. I was a bit busy shopping for more craft supplies and patterns. :)

New patterns for work and some Steampunk cosplay.

I came across the Craftsy site and they had a shuttle tatting class with Marilee Rockley. I wanted to sign up, but I decided to look around the internet for inspiration before I jumped into a new craft. I came across Diane's Lace-Lovin' Librarian blog. She has a lot of pretty pictures and had reviews about different tatting shuttles. Because of her reviews I decided to buy my tatting supplies from Handy Hands (www.hhtatting.com). Then I came across Heather's Tatted Treasures blog and her tutorials. With her wonderful videos I was able to learn how to tat in a few hours. I can't wait to try out new patterns!

Package from Handy Hands. My tatting supplies have arrived.

My goodies. Some threads, tatting shuttles, picot gauge, thread holder,
catalog, and newsletter. 

Pretty purple threads.

Different tatting shuttles. Clover, Lacis Sew Mate, and Starlit.

Picot gauge.

Thread holder with free Lizbeth thread.

Puppy pile up... they were tired after watching me learn how to tat lace.

My first project - butterfly! It's so tiny.

Now we're all up-to-date! I hope to work on all my different project - knit, crochet, sew, embroider, and tat. I just have to spend a day on each and finish a project before hopping to the next one. We'll see!

What a Month!

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I last updated my craft blog. The past few weeks have been a blur. As some of you know, I had my Thai wedding last Saturday. A lot of preparations for the big day, but it all went really well. I can't wait to share my photos with everyone! I have some craft projects in the works, so I'll probably have something to show soon. So stay tuned!

Blog Updates

Hello, it's been a while. A real long while. Two years long really. Over the past few days I've been adding older posts to this blog. I've been transferring entries from my WordPress blog - Mile a Minute. I definitely learned a lesson from that little debacle.

The last few years of my life has gone by so fast. Here's a quick update. I got engaged in December 2011. My fiance, Chris, and I are currently getting ready for our July wedding. It's coming up really quick, but I believe it will all be fine in the end.

I've been working on a lot of different craft projects - knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching, embroidering, and sewing. I bounce around from project to project. It's a wonder I get anything done.

I've been sewing lately and I'm currently finishing up a crocheted lap blanket. I can't wait to get the pictures up some time this week. So stay tuned!
