Exciting happenings

I've been busy recently in rose.is.a.rose-land conjuring up new ideas and projects. In line with this, I finally started a Facebook page--please like me! (Doesn't that sound so junior high, lol).
I'm gearing up to start a line of sewing patterns, rose.is.a.rose bags. The first design will be available for sale on my blog by early April. I call it The Uptown Hobo:

The pattern is being tested now.  More details to come in the next couple weeks!

I also will be giving this blog a facelift.  I think it's time for a fresh start to go with the new bag pattern line.  Up until now I haven't paid too much attention to my online presence (can you tell??), so having to allot time for it is a new experience.  I'm also continuing to work on new knitting patterns, so between knitting, sewing, drafting, writing, and connecting online, this month I've been a pretty busy gal.  Not to mention being a mother and having a part-time day job.  It's all good though, because it means I am feeling so much better!
