    As its National Memo Day, I am returning to your lens, as it is one I blessed in January, have not forgotten about those great toys which I am still going to crochet some day.I see the blessing has worn off, so I will bless it again. Blessed.

    Thanks for sharing. Blessed

    Ohh, these are gorgeous. I'd like to feature them on my 'International Fat Quarters & Thin Dimes' lens with your express permission. Are there any charitable donations (of any kind) of your beautiful work? I'd like to make mention of it (even to a neonatal unit at a local hospital or women's shelter)? Please, let me know after checking out my lens (I'd be putting your work alongside 3 other American lensmasters :) The link to the lens is: http://www.squidoo.com/fat-quarters

    Your story of learning how to get it all going sounds so familiar! I had to chuckle since my own learning digital-camera started at Etsy, too. Every enjoyable story of your shop. And such cute animals. Definitely Angel Blessed* and featured on Angelography.

    This is very interesting and sounds familiar. I have a hard time keeping my Etsy shop stocked with new cards. I do better at shows and fairs and Etsy gets short changed because of that. I do not want to close it because I have so many connections to it after 4 1/2 years.
    If I did not fold I would crochet or try. Those directions are crazy.

    Sunshine Sally is just the cutest, I wanted to learn crocheting, but I am left handed, boy is that not fun, no matter how and what way I cannot do it, Video tutorials? for left handed people!
    I am glad you little critters have all found loving and happy homes.

    I love this lens! I crochet, but have only ever made one stuffed toy and that was over 25 years ago. I've recently learned to crochet socks, but I like knitted socks better. Your story about the first sale being to another internet commerce newbie was delightful and I can SOOOOO identify with your struggles upon setting up your Etsy store. Congratulations on a great lens and on your sales success!

    Oh ... yes indeed I did enjoy my journey through your "land of crochet." Crochet makes me smile just thinking about it ... and thinking about sitting with my grandma and watching her show me how to do it. Those were the days!

I use to do a good bit of crocheting, I call it my nerve medicine. It keeps my hands busy while my mind trys to figure out things.

    I love to crochet, but I just learned how to do it a couple of years ago. My grandmother taught my sisters but refused to teach me. I'm left handed so she figured teaching me would be a waste of time. I'm not very good at it yet but I'm getting there.

As for baseball, I cry everytime I watch Field of Dreams. Wish my boys would play the game, but they love soccer. A mom can only force 'em to do so much.

Glad to see all the nice visits you're getting from the squidoo community and hope you're enjoying it. R.E. Ozzie Smith... I can remember him jumping in the air and cutting a flip when he did something good... what an athlete! Clemson's baseball field was selected the best in the nation two years ago and you would enjoy the games there. Thanks for your visit to my new lens and see you soon.

    Thanks for the sweet compliment on my baby dragon and for the welcome to Squidoo. I do know about the Etsy module and will be trying it out on my next lens about my Etsy crocheted 'critters' :-).

    Thanks for the visit, Julie. I didn't know you knew Nancy & Joan. They are the reason I'm now 'Squidooing' (:-} . Such special ladies. Enjoy your crocheting....

    Welcome to Squidoo -- I was sure you knew Joan and Nancy since I read you were in Pendleton. I absolutely adore crochet -- from dolls to doilies, afghans and clothing. Crochet brings back such loving memories of my grandmother. Thanks for taking time to drop by today. Wishing you the best on Squidoo.

    Interesting lens, especially opening Etsy shop with your crafts after making them for your children and grandchildren for so long. Being English, I know nothing about baseball but I have my own sports passions like tennis and athletics so I can understand. Good luck here on Squidoo.

    The crocheted dragon is cool! Nice work, these look great. Good luck with your etsy store. I believe there's an etsy module you can use to showcase your items, too. Welcome to Squidoo!

    Hi Pam, thanks for your note. When I visited your lens, I didn't know that you were another South Carolinian :) How cool is that!

    I LOVE baseball ... my family has to put up with my enthusiasm all through baseball season and listen to me 'whine' during the winter months while I go through baseball 'withdrawal'. I like to watch the Astros too. I'm mostly a fan of the National League teams because seems I've always lived in NL TV markets where those are the teams we get to see, except for growing up in NY State, then I followed the Yankees.

    Have fun crocheting your baby blanket, and congratulations on becoming a 'grandma'. I love my 3 young grandsons - wish they lived closer. They are 12, 10 and 7. If you need any crochet help, let me know.

    Have fun on Squidoo. I've been spending 'hours' at a time learning my way around, so can relate to your 'locker' reference :).

    Hi Mountainside Crochet! We have some things in common! Thanks for your comments on my lens. If you hadn't commented, I wouldn't have known about you...that you live in South Carolina like I do. I live in Greenville. I like to crochet, too, but I can't do anything but scarves. LOL! I taught myself to croche a few years ago when I was living in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania (they have long, cold winters -- beautiful, but BRRRRR!), so everyone gets a new scarf at Christmas. I'm expecting my first grandchild and I'm making her a....okay, not a scarf, but a baby blanket...and it's really just a wide, short scarf. :-) I love baseball, too! I lived most of my life in Houston, Texas, and am a huge fan of the Astros (okay, we usually call them the L'Astros or Last-tros). I really enjoyed your lensography and didn't even know that word until today. But I've only been a squid since last Friday and am still trying to find my locker and remember its combination. See ya!

    Welcome Patricia. Your creativity will go far here. Doing your Lensography is a great way to start. You can now add a new lens to your Lensography as you create them. Great idea. 5 stars, favorite and I'm a FAN! P.S. Thanks for your notes on Cats Rule. How To Select Your New Master. Bear hugs, Frankster aka Bearmeister aka Cat-Woman.

    Hi motorpurr. Thanks for visiting and for the nice compliments on my crochet. I hope to do another lens soon on my crocheted 'critters'.

    Love your baseball mit with the ball, and the dragon. Crochet is an amazing skill. Nice lens, and I hope you do more. Thanks for the visit too!

    Thanks so much for the kind welcome, Nancy. My Squidoo 'friends/mentors - the two sisters ' have been such a help to this newbie. They are very much appreciated.

    Welcome, Pat. I love those sisters, too. You'll do well here because you have such a good start.

    Thanks for the sweet compliments on my lens and my Etsy 'critters'. I DO love Etsy -- just celebrated my First Year Etsyversary March 3 and looking forward to even more fun in Year Two.

    Got such a kick out of your 3...2...1...AAARRRGH!!! Lens. You write 'humor' well. :)

    Nice lens, and three cheers for Etsy! Don't you just love it there?? Your zebra and little dragon are absolutely adorable (I peeked in your shop :o) 5* for a fun lens!

    So pleased you came by. I agree that writing about what you are passionate about makes the words flow more easily. You can tell how much I love Baseball. I'll keep in mind doing a female detective by a female author lens down the road. Have more I want to add to this, my first, lens yet, then..... maybe!
  • Mickie_G Mar 8, 2009 @ 3:19 pm | delete
    You have two great mentors! Nice first lens so I have joined your fanclub so I won't miss your progress!

    Write a new lens about the female detective who has a female creator and come join my "Girls Detecting" Group

    I have discovered that my best lenses are about things I really am passionate about.

    Hooray Pat... You got it done... and did a fine job on your first lens! Aren't we lucky to have Nancy and Joan's help to break into the great community? There really are a wonderful and interesting group of people who squidoo and you will enjoy it immensely! We will have to get some more Pendletonian's involved and start a Pendleton group! 5*s and favored!

    You're so sweet. Thanks for the comps. I actually crochet backwards (or at least in reverse - left arm or leg becomes the right arm or leg or vice versa) because I do it 'left-handed'.

    Mountainside, I love your cute crochet creations. - The part of the brain that is needed to do crocheting seems to be missing for me. - I admire people who do it!
    Love your lens! - Susie

    * big waves * and welcome to Squidoo! You have some very nice friends! Promote your Etsy shop through Squidoo! I have two tutorials to help you; one for the Etsy module and the other using the RSS module. We just got the new Add Modules in our Workshop Tools, so I will have to update those lenses with new print screens. - Kathy
