It's been forever, but that's probably b/c I moved and now have no internet. Hooray for free Wifi and donated laptops! My Etsy shop (La Blue Gyrl Art, etc.) is on Facebook (What isn't?) facebook.com/labluegyrl Pill-chan also has her own FB page @ facebook.com/pillchan and of course you can follow me on Twitter.com @dopefaerie. So blah blah blah, life is life and arts and crafts are good... so here's a Free Crochet Pattern! Enjoy!
