Awaiting 2014!

Share this

This sure has been a year to remember! So many wonderful things have happened this past year and I really am pleased with the way Crystalized Designs has been growing!

 

Lets take a quick look back. Not only do I have new followers, fans and customers but here are just a few of 2013’s accomplishments:

  • 26 patterns were released during 2013 to date, with at least 2 more coming before the year ends! That’s over double what was released in 2012 (only 12 patterns released!)
  • This year marked a very special event, I participated in Design Wars 5! That was an honor by itself, but to actually tie in a winning category was astonishing since all designs were amazing!!!
  • Over 100 patterns were given away in various giveaways!
  • Started a Instagram account for Crystalized Designs, you can follow me here!
  • Facebook went from 300 fans in Dec of 2012 to an amazing 4,200!
  • Started working with a second newborn photographer as well as attempting to do as much of the photography as possible! Thank you to my long time photographer and friend Kelly Smith Images and my newest photographer Eisells Imagery!

All of the above and so much more is all credited to YOU! I could not, and would not, be where I am today without your support, encouragement and the endless sweet compliments about my work! I love to crochet, whether it be designing a pattern of my own or working off anothers’, it is my passion and I love sharing it with this wonderful community! We are, us crocheters, a passionate group always offering to help each other even though in some ways, we are competition! We reach out and touch each other in ways the average strangers cannot. Through this year, I’ve become very close friends with many, many others with the same passion!  And I’m proud to be a part of this community!

And now to await a new beginning! I have many things in store for 2014, including breaking all my records listed above and rekindling one of last years New Years Resolutions (yes, I intend to blog more!) So, be on the lookout for an upcoming post on what 2014’s goal are and a year of challenges!!
Feel free to post any of your accomplishments, links or goals below!
Until then, enjoy the last few days in 2013!
Hug those you care about, tell those you love and give the gift of a smile!!
