Fluffy Clouds Crochet Blanket Pattern | Second Edition
| August 29, 2013 | Filled under Patterns, Update |
This blanket was designed and made for one absolutely precious baby girl couple years ago. Funny thing that it’s my first blanket I even work on and it was a
lot of fun and my huge pleasure! Not to mention, how I was excited to find that this pattern is still one of most popular since was published, so I’ve decided to make a little surprise for you ;o) And so glad to offer an updated version, written in my new patterns style and with clear and such lovely stitch diagrams!! I’ll do my best to send an updated version to everyone who purchased this pattern late today. But since here are several thousand transactions, I may miss some ones. And if you did not get anything from me until tomorrow morning, please email me with transaction ID and I’ll send an updated version right away.
If you are new here, let me introduce…
Fluffy Clouds Crocheted Blanket
The sky’s the limit! Give Baby the sweetest of sleep and the best of dreams with this unbelievably luxurious afghan. Fluffy crochet shells come together to create billows of heavenly softness, just right for Baby’s delicate skin. It’s a perfect gift for boys and girls alike—just trim it in blue, pink, or any color of your choice, and watch little eyes grow wide in delight before Baby snuggles into the clouds for a nap!

Ravelry | Download Issue – Fixed!
| August 4, 2013 | Filled under Announcements, In The News, Update |
Recently I had multiple issues with Ravelry customers not receiving their instant downloads. I am so glad to letting you know that this issue is fixed!
Also, I’ve been contacted by several people having a problem with instant download patterns in my Shop. I’ve double checked the process and found it also a bit not straightforward or clear but this is how eCommerce plugin is designed … So I want to explain it here.
There are two ways you can download your pattern.
1. After PayPal transaction is completed, you will be forwarded back to my Shop and you will see a “Transaction Results” page – please note lime Download hyperlink – this is the link to the PDF file. Please click it (or right-click it) and your browser will open/save/display PDF, as it is configured in your Windows/Mac/Unix/Chromium and your browser.
2. A few seconds after PayPal finished transaction, you will receive an email with download link.
Anyways, please let me know if you did not receive it or may have any questions.
Sincerely,
Alla
The Day of Sport
| August 2, 2013 | Filled under Kids, Life |
It’s always awesome to start your day with Empowered Recreation, and our goal is to make our morning workouts 5 days a week regularly. Well, at least yesterday we’ve had one ;o)
That afternoon, we spend about 7 hours at Key Arena for two reasons. First is our IRG&B girls made a debut with a group routine before the basketball game. Even if it’s our very first group routine, the girls had a huge success and got lots of compliments! The video below is unfortunately not the best quality (we definitely still need to learn how to record the group performance).
And then we’ve watched for the first time the basketball game. The Storm defeated the Phoenix Mercury, 88-79! Good job ladies!!
We’ve came back to home around 11:30pm happy, excited even if enough exhausted. Anyways – such memories! ;o)
