Kristie,

 

I second the dragon and dinosaur(s) LOL!!:yay

 

Even a whole barnyard set to go with the cutie cow would be great! I'd even pay greatly for a barnyard set of patterns. :woo

 

Keep up the awesome work!

Kristie, I love all of your patterns. they are so cute. Can I ask you a question? With all of the patterns you are designing do you sleep or eat? I won't ask about cleaning house, since we all know a clean house is a sign of a "sick" mind.. or a hubby or kids that clean! Keep up the good work I love all of them.

:lol :lol :lol I sleep, occasionally! I honestly only need about 5-6 hrs a night....then I wake up and grab my hook.

I also work from home, that certainly helps!!

Honestly though, I keep a ball or two of yarn in my purse with a hook.

My middle daughter has been in and out of the hospitals and clincs the last several months.

LOTS of waiting time! I have designed most of my animals in waiting rooms!

 

 

Thank you all for the compliments!!

I am working on typing up the pattern for a tiny turtle.

I hope to post it today or tomorrow!
