Last night I tried to send this newsletter - and my email system crashed. I’m not sure how many emails went through. If this is a duplicate for you, notice the “from” address is different.

I am now going to attempt using Beehiiv as my newsletter platform.

If you've been following along with me you'll already know this month is my 3rd Designaversary (yes, that's a made-up word that I'm using to mean my designing anniversary).

I tried to be really creative and make cool sales (like 3 pattern bundles to represent my 3 years).

But, honestly, this is a really rough season of life right now and I don't have it in me to think of anything else creative regarding sales to celebrate my Designaversary.

So, I'm going to do a BORING SALE.

No codes. Just a sale.

From now until the end of the month you'll get an automatic 30% discount on patterns bought from Ravelry, Etsy, or Ribblr.

I have excluded the eBook bundles because they are already at a discount (but, shhhhh, you can use your welcome code on those - hit reply and ask me to resend the welcome email if you don't know the code).

Don’t Forget to Enter the Grand Prize Giveaway!

Looking forward:

If it interests you to know, here's what I have coming up:

- Persistent Blossoms, currently published in Crochet Now Issue 93, can be self-published in August. I may add an interlocking version?

- Video needs to be edited for the tutorial on how to join the squares to make my February Knot Mini-Square bag

- I'll be part of Crochet Foundry's 2023 Blog Hop in May (hello, free pattern!!). Currently it is a mosaic-only pattern, I may add an interlocking version to this one as well?

- Support Videos for Persistent Blossoms and the Crochet Foundry freebie need to be edited.

- New pattern, Seamless Footballs, will be published at the end of April.

- Series of baby blankets in the works (each with a different letter of the alphabet on it - let me know which letter you'd like to see first!).

- Two patterns that weren't used by the magazines are in the works for me to get tested and self-published. (Sometimes it's nice to not to have to make it work for their timeline lol)

- Lots of patterns on my list to update with a solid mosaic option (instead of the interlocking mesh dots all over). Let me know if there's a pattern you'd like updated sooner rather than later.

- A few updates are needed to the wording in my repeatable center-out patterns.

- Halfway through recording a Tunisian Mosaic Crochet-A-Long (CAL)

- Attempting to setup my own webstore for my patterns

- But, at least my newsletter and website seem to be working now!
