Getting back in the swing of things

I haven't been on here for about a year but i'm looking to become active in my blog again and writing patterns again and looking for testers for not only patterns but also for new items i will be selling! I also want to start using my blog for things like giveaways and shop reviews. I'm a Wahm myself so of course i love to support other wahms (work at home moms). I love giving them shout outs on my face book page at when i love an item i buy from a small business, i love other people to know how wonderful that item was!

Here is one of my new items i had recently introduce to my shop, the reusable snack bag which i absolutely love for my daughters snacks, i have a few testers who will be testing these soon for me

will be looking for pattern testers for my baby sandals :)

follow my blog for updates and how you can be chosen to test out my pattern! Also find me on facebook at ashleys yarn creations!

New item im releasing for sell and pattern

This is a sneak peak of my new item and i made up the pattern and wil be needing 2 pattern testers soon and i will also be having the item for sale in my shop. Im waiting on professional photos of the item first. Im so excited and proud of this new item, I cant wait until i get professional photos of my new item.

"The walking dead episode"

I got to thinking while i was watching the walking dead and decided to do a give away on my facebook page. I did a walking dead trivia question game and had a zombie cup cozy i made during the show as the give away. I loved the idea and decided i would do a trivia game every 2 episodes and next time i plan on doing a book mark and maybe a coin purse for the one after. I have a few ideas up my sleeve.
