Working working.

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:58:00 +0000

So I haven't come up with anything good for the website for awhile, but I am getting into the swing of playing with yarn again. I've got a couple pairs of slippers to make for a couple of friends in the military. And I'm working on Christmas stockings for some friends of ours.

I know, I know

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 03:33:00 +0000

I know it sounds like I'm making a ton of excuses all the time, I really am working on stuff for the website. Unfortunately, I'm having a terrible time with coding anything or getting patterns typed up. I do not have a functioning Number One key. I have a nearly impossible time entering my...

Falling behind

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:15:00 +0000

So, I still need to get the dust bunny pattern formatted and posted. I still need to fix a couple of buggy links over at Tilghman Street and I still need to do about a million other things. This month seems to have been all about having fun, but at the expense of accomplishing anything. My...

E Pluribus Afghan (From many an afghan)

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 01:37:00 +0000

Here's the deal. I really want to start a crochet exchange, I think they're a ton of fun. I used to run one and I badly miss it. Also, I badly want to start a charity that donates afghans to people who need a little reminder that there's kindness in the world, per request (as in, you request one...

Little by Little

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 17:15:00 +0000

So, I've gotten a little bit of time to spend on the fixing of the title graphics. I've gotten through a pretty good portion of the site, but there's tons left yet. On the plus side, it's given me a chance to realize that a lot of the older patterns have terrible pictures. Fuzzy, dim, you name...

Glitches to be fixed shortly

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:17:00 +0000

I've noticed that there are some minor glitches with some of the pages I moved to Tilghman Street Studios. A couple of them are showing the Tilghman Street logo, instead of Crochet Pages. Unfortunately, I don't have the time anymore to fix them before I have to get ready for work today, but I do...

We're Moving!!

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:26:00 +0000

Crochet Pages is officially in the process of moving. I don't have things set up quite the way I'd like, but I'm happy enough with it to let it go. All of the old links still work for now, but the site is located at Tilghman Street Studios (http://www.tilghmanstreet.com/crochetpages) now....

Tilghman Street Studios

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 02:48:00 +0000

It's official. I have finally registered for a domain name and hosting where I can control the ad content and placement. Age's Crochet Pages will be moving from Tripod and under the umbrella of Tilghman Street Studios. Tilghman Street Studios is another project of mine and if I can figure out...

Finally.

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:06:00 +0000

So, after what? Like a month of no new anything in the way of crochet, I've finally got started working on something. I've got a good portion of the next "Fishin' Buddies" pattern done, with some pretty solid ideas for at least one more. I have managed to get a couple of more t-shirt designs...

Give it a shot.

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:50:00 +0000

Well, the wrist is more or less back to normal, although still somewhat achy. I think that I can probably get back into the crocheting and stuff this week, if things continue to heal at this rate. I'm back to about 99% functional with everything else, but I did have some trouble with sewing at...

Just in case

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:28:00 +0000

So, for those of you who aren't a fan on Facebook, which I suspect is most of you, I thought now that my hand is feeling well enough that I can type a bit better, I would post a better update. About a week and a half ago, I promised myself "Finish the Kitchen (we're repainting) and then the...

Etsy has expired.

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:51:00 +0000

So, I'm still waiting on the photo for the pattern I finished. Can't post it till I get the pic. I totally need to get my own camera. I just don't cross paths with Sarah often enough for this to work anymore. She's got a second job and an early morning gym routine. My job has me working more...

A very full few days

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Thu, 07 May 2009 02:34:00 +0000

So, it's only Wednesday, and I feel like I've already put in a weeks worth. I finished a pattern for the site, it just needs a photo and to be typed up. I have an afghan pattern a good portion of the way finished. Sunday, I worked a half day to cover for someone who was sick, then finished the...

Live Like a Hippy

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 02:04:00 +0000

In order to not bore everyone here with the nitty gritty details of things, I have started a second blog. I know that the point of this blog is to let everyone know what I'm up to when I'm not working on the website, but we've been making efforts toward living a little healthier and maybe a little...

Critical Failure

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 02:46:00 +0000

So, so far, I'm really bad at this whole post a new pattern every month thing. I'm working on getting better at it. Any suggestions from the Peanut Gallery?

[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

So, I'm getting all modernized and stuff.

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 04:15:00 +0000

Guess what!?!?! Me and Crochet Pages are both on Facebook now! Become a fan, send a friend request. In case you never noticed my full name posted at the bottom of the pages, it's Adrienne Congdon. Look me up!

Something Wonderful!

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:11:00 +0000

Something wonderful has happened! I have been contacted by a "Warm up America" type charity group in regards to permissions for one of my patterns. They would like to use my Bath Puff pattern to help the homeless. I believe that they will be using the puffs to raise money to buy yarn in order to...

Slacker!

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 14:56:00 +0000

Ok, here's the deal, February turned out to be a pretty crappy month around here. I wasn't slacking so much as I just didn't get to things between fixing the radiators and so on. I also found out that I have a degenerative knee problem and I broke a tooth. In other words, February was...

Crochet Pages Shop on Etsy Now Open!

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 04:19:00 +0000

So, I finally got my Etsy shop up and running. Now you too can have something handmade by yours truly! Right now it's all coffee coats and cozies, but they're adorable, I promise. Check it out!

[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

So, it's February.

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:40:00 +0000

Wow. The first month of 2009 is gone already - and I've been sick for all of it. Love Bites will only be available until Valentine's Day so grab it while you can. Leon in the winner of the Candy Hearts Contest. Get in touch with me so I can get you your prize. I'll post the finished photo...

[[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

...and the Winner is...

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:04:00 +0000

So at this point it seems that Leon is the winner by default. With no other entries, he is automatically the most popular. Anybody have any last minute entries? or should I just call the contest early?

Still Need Entries.

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 23:19:00 +0000

Only three days left and still no entries for sayings. Here's a pic of the pillow for inspiration.

Audience Participation

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 03:16:00 +0000

So, I need some help. I'm making a candy hearts pillow for a valentine's pattern. What should the sayings be? Email, comment or Twitter, I'll put up a poll with the entries and then use the 4 most popular. Winners will get recognition on Crochet Pages and a goody via snail mail if they're...

Crochet Exchange

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 03:36:00 +0000

So, if I was thinking of starting up a Crochet Exchange, would anyone be interested? I'm thinking Granny Daughter's, like 20 per month. Let me know what you think - strngbn@lycos.com or Twitter @agecrochet

With a Little Help from My Friends

strngbn@lycos.com (Age) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 01:40:00 +0000

So, since the weather sucked today, Sarah and I spent a large part of the day working on my studio. The result is a snow day that managed to actually be a productive day. We moved a ton of stuff into the studio including my computer desk, which is going to allow me to be a lot more productive all...
