Finished……

Sort of! I have finally finished the very simple little knitted wash cloth that I started way back on my old blog. Knitting is not something that comes easily to me, so I’m glad I pushed through and finished it.

In the past, in my very limited knitting experience, I have just cut these endy bits off. But I have absorbed while hanging around lot of talented knitters in blog land that there is another “proper” way. I gather I am supposed to sew these bits into the stitching. Can anyone elaborate for me?

Time to get the ball rolling......

When I moved over here from created by Kylie I was so excited to be making a fresh start, but things haven’t turned out quite how I expected. I certainly haven’t started in the manner I plan to continue! I feel I have been neglecting this space and my fledgling Etsy store, but now that our wonderful holiday time has come to an end; I hope to get this ball rolling.

I have lists and lists of things to do (and more things floating around my head that haven’t even made it onto lists!). I know it’s not all going to happen over night, but....... I really wish it could!

A fresh start…..

Hi, I’m Kylie and I have a really short attention span! (or perhaps I’m just easily inspired???)

I have just posted my last post on my first blog, it lasted 5 months. But I haven’t lost interest in blogging – far from it; I just needed a fresh start. I just launched my Etsy store and I decided that as I wasn’t thrilled with the name I chose for my first blog, now was the time to bite the bullet and change. So farewell "created by Kylie" it’s time to embrace "Chasing Purple Dreams".

I am a busy, busy, busy at the moment with a huge to do list of things I want to do to get both the Chasing Purple Dreams Etsy store to a place where I am happy.

I am holding dreams in my heart of this year being the year I can find some time to get back to my painting and I am discovering new techniques and filling my head with new jewellery designs all the time. I will be staring a short silversmith course soon and I hope to improve my photography skills and knowledge this year.

So although I may get obsessed with things from time to time, my short attention span will assure you of a multitude of different things to catch up on when you drop by! And who knows what I will be into next, I could be just hours away from a new obsession!! Making wooden toys? Sock monkeys? Marine biology? Don’t ask me I had no idea I would end up making jewellery, things just evolve, I never know when the next obsession will bite!

Thanks for dropping by, I do hope you will join my little band of followers and leave me a comment every now and then to keep me company on this dream chasing expedition.
