CRD 2012

Hi everyone.  Creative Radiance Designs is now re-open for business.  I hope you enjoyed the holiday season and New Year.  I have some general plans set in place for Creative Radiance 2012.

First of all, I'm going to be offering custom orders during certain seasons.  For Winter 2012, the following will be offered:

• Baby Hat Sets
• Character Hats for Baby and Toddlers - Including Bunny Hats for my Easter Special
• Stocking Caps for Baby and Toddlers
• Wool Diaper Covers and Longies

For more information, please click on the Custom Order link above.  Spring and Summer will be announced at a later date.

Stock Items:  I've also decided to bring back a stock of inventory to be available for general sales throughout the year.  At this time, I'm planning to utilize the blog and the Facebook page to advertise what's available for sale.  In the near future, there will be a link above with cycling inventory.  Stock items will be a variety of knit, crochet and fabric items.

Private/Group Lessons:  I am now accepting students for private and group knitting and crochet lessons.  This is still an evolving process, but I plan to make a full post on this as soon as the details are more concrete.  In the future I hope to offer some in-home sewing machine basics classes as well. If you are interested in private/group lessons, please let me know as soon as possible.  I have a limited number of spots available.

Local Photographers Special Rates:  I believe that as local business owners we should do our best  to keep our local economy thriving.  In an effort to help other local businesses, I'm offering special rates for local photographers wishing to purchase knit or crochet hats or prop items.If you are a local photographer, please contact me for specific information. 

Designs - It's my goal this year to design and publish at least 5 patterns, some free and some paid patterns.

Blog - Last year I promised to blog more often and with topics other than just business items and then I failed miserably.  Life got chaotic and I lost balance in a lot of areas.  I'm going to attempt more intentional blogging this year.  I'd like to incorporate of few of my experiences with natural and handmade living, along with those posts about things that inspire me. This year I'm planning to experiment with dyeing and spinning on a wheel so I hope that I can take time to document those experiences. Plus I've got plans to review a few products, new yarns and books.

Here's to a great year !
