July certainly flew by didn’t it?

Between Quality Control’s summer school and the ramped up chaos at work, I barely had time to follow through with the social media and website plans I made at the beginning on July.

If you follow me on any of the socials, you’ll probably have seen an influx of posts. I’ve been updating the shop with new categories and products. More on that in a minute though.

I’m planning on adding more crochet patterns this month, quite a few of them from the Victorian/Edwardian era. I just have to get them written out in a way that make sense to those who’ve only learned how to read modern patterns.

I still don’t know how to design my own patterns..though it is something I am working on.

So, one of the new sections in both the blog and the shop is H.P. Lovecraft. For the few who have never heard of H.P. Lovecraft, he is widely considered the Grandfather of Horror. I’m planning on a 3-part blog series about him before I launch the blog series on his creations, a good portion of which will appear in the shop. The series will have a broad overview of the man, his life and his ugly side. While his ugly side it horrid, it does explain why his creatures have the draw that they do.

I have gotten 10 blogs (including this one) written, proofread and scheduled for this month, and I’m hoping to stay ahead of the posts to get myself back on track with that.

I’ve started recording videos for YouTube and TikTok since I won’t be streaming this month, due to extensive dental surgery. I’ve also been working on scripts for a podcast I’d like to attempt. The podcast will be about crochet, tea, running and small business and the lore behind the products I have available.

I don’t have a platform picked yet, but if you have a suggestion, please, let me know.
