Update

Hey everyone, I finally got my computer fixed and back in my hands! yay! more posts! I still don't think I have written a post about myself, so here it goes! OH! and there's a new pattern up on Ravelry, Cady's Baby Bootie pattern! go check it out: http://www.ravelry.com/people/jaysmama2012

So, now about me! ha. I live in Moline, IL soon to relocate to Muscatine, IA. I was raised in a dinky town of 1100 people called Andalusia. Graduated from a small town high school in 2011. Which means I'm 22 (old I know) I met my boyfriend of 4 years my senior year of high school and we now have a three year old boy named Jaysen. He's my world, as most of you parents would know :) I began crocheting at 21. I have a totally of 1.5 years under my belt. Which doesn't seem long, but I quickly became obsessed with crochet and now I write patterns and try to help other crocheters over this wonderful thing called the internet haha I have a thriving facebook page, and I am part of many crochet facebook groups. So there's a little bit about me. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. If you have any suggestions for some free patterns for me to write and share with you guys let me know! I'm having trouble letting some of my patterns go for free with how much work I put into them, but I have to let go of my babies some time lol so drop some comments and help me get this thing up and going!

Much Love,
Cady <3

Writing Patterns

I never realized how time consuming writing patterns are until I really dug into writing one. Now I know why some people charge an arm and a leg for their patterns! lol Working on my earwarmer/headband pattern, with each individual size from newborn to adult. This one will be FREE! yay free! aha

My First Pattern!

C2C Steering Wheel Cover Pattern

(Paid)

Hey everyone, I just published my first actual pattern yesterday on ravelry! :D *happy dance*
I love this cover so much I had to share with everyone! It's made with caulking/puffy paint put on the bottom so it won't slide causing an accident. So no worries there.
No sales yet, but hoping that will change with some time. Fingers crossed!
UPDATE: one sale! WOOT! oh- and here's the link ;) http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/c2c-steering-wheel-cover-pattern


Cheers!
