Pattern writing & getting started

Hello, not a lot to let you know about today... Well, I typed up my first pattern....the one I made for my daughter's friend....I do not have Microsoft office so it will be a joint venture for Tammy and I....I have a lot of issues with poor internet so I sent her several emails with pieces to the pattern...she's gonna love it lol....I am just teasing, Tammy has always been very helpful. She actually started with the Etsy shop with a friend of hers...she told me about it and said you should make some things...she started sending me materials with great pics and ideas, she had to teach me how to navigate, copy, paste, upload pics....hey that could be a new business venture she could teach other people how to start up a business.....then, they too can "crochet in their sleep" lol. I seriously wake up in the middle of the night thinking of new creations and how I can make ears, tails etc. Sooo the plan is to make a pattern a week until Two Needles and a Hook has a book full of photo prop pattern/photos....I am thinking of making up fliers with some of our props in them, so many people I run into don't have/use the internet at all. It's almost unbelievable because I would be lost without it. Funny a little over a year ago I did not know anything except how to get on Myspace, Facebook and play Zynga poker....lol...All of the credit goes to Tammy, my beautiful sister....thanks Tammy now I don't sleep at all ;)... Again I joke but literally have been rewarded in so many ways by joining my sister in this venture...met great people, created some really cute things, kept myself busy, the money isn't bad either & most of all I have probably not gone more than one day of not being in constant contact with my sister ;) my friend ;)

No recipe today however, I do have a very helpful hint....

When cooking frozen potatoes i.e. french fries, hash browns, or tater tots in the oven preheat oven as directed for the suggested temperature but, only cook half the time...then, turn the broiler on low and cook for the remainder. This makes them crunchy as if they were fried without the grease ;)


Have a great night and God bless
