February Goals

Let me start by updating you for January... I didn't come even close to my goals but I did try to make my best attempt. I learned how much Life and God may have other plans for me that differ from the plans that I have made. I created a new item for my shop: Crochet Loop Scarf Cowl which has become so popular with my local customers that I got new 1 order every week in January! My daily listing and blogging fell very short but I will attempt to do better this month...

With that said here is my goals for February:
1. Have 50 items listed in my shop
2. Introduce my Crochet Leigh String Bag
3. Blog at least 3 times a week
4. Create a cool item for my Daily Sweeets February challenge which is CROCHET!!!
5. Continue to work on my Pattern Challenge

The Start of a New Year

So this is the start of a New Year and the start of my blog.

Lily Rose Originals was created from my 2 little girls names and my favorite flowers, Lily and Rose. My passion has always been about clothing and fashion but I have learned that fashion doesn't have to come from traditional fabrics. There is more to this world than just tradition but to be innovative and unique. I have fallen in love with my fabric of chioce: YARN!

It is funny that I for years I thought of knitting and crocheting as an elderly lady thing (which my boyfriend insist he is dating a grandma!) until I was stuck on bedrest for 7 months and needed to keep myself occupied. So I got myself a crocheting kit with a baby blanket pattern and was taught by a wonderful lady about the ins and outs of crocheting. Over the years, I have crocheted hundreds of items and have created many of my own patterns. So my next venture was learning how to knit and that is still a work in progress but I love it! Sewing and Drawing are things have done since I was young but I love endless possibilities I have with yarn. There are so many textures and thicknesses that the same pattern can look completely different depending on the yarn used.

So since it is the New Year and everyone (well almost) makes resolutions and goals here are mine for LilyRose:
+To Blog Everyday
+To make LilyRose a priority in my life
+To expand my shop with knit and crochet clothing

Well everyone have a Wonder 2010 and see you tomorrow!
