SPECIALIZING IN CROCHET AND BEADING



On this website, I will be posting pictures of my work and from time to time I will share some free patterns and tips with you.



A little bit about the author:



Hi my name is Kim and as you will see by my blog that I enjoy crafting very much, I have the liberty of working part-time at a craft store so my ideas are always refreshed.

My most enjoyable crafts are crochet and beading right now, so keep checking back to see what new things I have created.
If at anytime you are interested in purchasing one of my creations please email me and I will provide you with the costs. I do have a registered long time paypal account so all transactions are secure.

I teach crochet to those who wish to learn at a cost of $15.00/hr, I can do this either in person if you live in the GVRD area or by video phone, payment for classes accepted through paypal.com

More Baby Booties!

Hi Everyone!

Here are some more baby booties I have been working on they really are just too cute.  Some of  Katelyn's friends are asking me if I can make them in their sizes (maybe one day).  Anyway, remember if you want to buy some of my creations go to Etsy.com and search for the store lizkate, you will find all available creations for sale there.

BABY BOOTIES - FUN!

Hi everyone,

I have found a great little pattern for baby booties, it takes me 2 hours to make a pair.  They are fun to make and they look so cute and no for all of those that know me no one in the family has any surprising news in this regards.  I just wanted to try something different.
