Leaning Curve

Every day is a new day of learning. When I sit down at my desk to start writing, to browse through Pinterest for inspiration or sort out the virtual paperwork, I will inevitably find something that I didn’t know five minutes before.

•

It might be a news article about a new plastic free packaging alternative or a new wool supplier that I find while scrolling through Instagram. I also have the radio on all day, starting with Virgin for a bit of Chris Evans, which I must say is a constant source of wonderment (even if Chris does pick on Vassos a bit too much), then I head over to Radio 2. Needless to say, there’s not much silence in my house on a daily basis.

•

My main, recent learning curve is definitely my pattern writing, but I won’t bang on about that again. I think you’ve got the idea that I’m quite excited about that.

•

Another challenge I’m taking on is video tutorials. I’ve done a few so far, they are short and to the point and hopefully will help you learn the methods that I use on a daily basis. You will also find the videos via links in my patterns because I know from experience that having a visual guide as well as the written instructions can make or break the success of any project.

•

On my to-do list for this week is to create some new video tutorials. I’ve not done any crochet ones yet and I’m keen to try out my new audio and video equipment. This is definitely on the agenda for today.

•

Head to my YouTube channel - Colour My Dreams - to find the mini macrame lessons that I’ve added so far. 

•

Signing off now to get my video-making-learning head on. Have a great day. Hope you learn something new today too!

Open for Business

By Cathie George • 13 Feb, 2024
Life has been somewhat topsy turvy for the past few years. With Covid affecting the whole world and then my own little world being challenged with the tedium that comes with trying to sell my house and move to somewhere new; I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed. The one constant in my life has been my yarns, hooks and needles. I honestly think they are to thank for getting me through the past four years with a semblance of sanity in tact.

🎄Festive Greetings 🎄

If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better". A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.

Au Revoir, but not Goodbye

By Cathie George • 25 Jul, 2022
This day was always going to come, the day I say au revoir to all of you who signed up to my newsletters, visited my website, bought my products and offered kind words of support. Many of you did that regularly and I’m really grateful.

I Am Enough

By Cathie George • 10 Jun, 2022
It took a pandemic to make me realise that I am enough. Yes, the me that I am today is more than enough, I don’t need to be anything more. I discovered that I don’t need to wear make-up and wash my hair every day (yes, I used to wash it every day - how ridiculous was that) and my pared back wardrobe was more than enough too.
