June Feature: Clouds and Rain

In San Diego we are having a pretty rough drought. I actually kind of miss the clouds and rain. So, in memory of the rain we are not having, this month's feature is clouds, rain and other weather related crochet items!

Donations Update

I have had so many people donate to help support my scarf making efforts for the Handmade Especially for you organization it makes me so happy!

To keep up with the demand, and simplify the process a bit for me, I have uploaded the pdf file to Etsy, so now when you make a donation you get the PDF file INSTANTLY! Isn't that AWESOME!

Because of the fees associated with selling on Etsy, I have had to up the price for the PDF document, but rest assured that EVERY SINGLE PENNY of profit I receive from that listing goes to make comfort scarves. The listing is available for $1.99.

Keep on crocheting!

**New** Pattern Tutorials

I have decided that in order to help support my family (rather than just my charity efforts), I will be producing a series of step-by-step photo tutorials for some of my more popular patterns. These patterns contain high resolution images and tips throughout the pattern to help you complete the project, available to you for a small fee, $1.99

Yes, I know. A fee. I have decided to keep all of my blog patterns for free. If you thoroughly enjoyed the availability of my awesome patterns, please consider purchasing the pattern tutorial as a token of appreciation.

If you genuinely need assistance completing one of my patterns, see if it has a photo tutorial available for you to purchase.

They are available for purchase at my etsy shop (LivingTheCraftLife.etsy.com) or through my etsy-mini located in the side bar

Thank you for your continued support. I continue to make comfort scarves and donate them to our local shelters here. That work will not cease.
