February 2020 "Eye Candy"
|
(For LARGER images: Click on each individual pic)
|
To kick things off, here’s Pam McGinnis‘ very first Packletssample! It came out great and I’m thinking its turning out to be very useful!
|
|
Heidi Munk modified our Sling Along for a future trip to Disney World! She fashioned a pocket out of Mickey’s pants!
|
|
This is just one of the SIX Sling Alongs that LaBreeska Harris created
for various Christmas gifts. She added that she finds this pattern fun
to use!
|
|
And this is Dawn Eratt’s last Sling Along of 2019! But she says she’s already considering what her 1st bag of 2020 will be like! |
|
Rosemary Causbrook decided to makeup her 1st Sling Along in practice fabrics and she added that she’s glad she did. I on the other hand, LOVE the look of this bag!
|
|
And speaking of Christmas gifts, this is one of the six Sling Along‘s that LaBreeska Harris made as Christmas gifts this year! |
|
|
And here’s yet another of LaBreeska Harris‘ intended Sling Along Christmas gifts! What lucky recipients they are! |
|
Lynne Johnson was VERY proud to show us all the very 1st Sling Along she finished!
|
|
 Here is Rosemary Causbrook‘s 2nd Sling Along.
She got very brave this time & opted for artificial suede for the
exterior of this bag & added a cork-design cotton for the contrast.
It’s totally lovely! |
|
 And finally, Paula Faes modified our Trifecta design to suit her needs. She wanted a cross-body bag instead of a
shoulder bag so she added a braided strap as well as a quilted exterior
pocket and “dressed” zippers.

As of Tuesday, you can now turn off the collection and sharing of data that sites and apps send to Facebook. You might have had some idea that Facebook was keeping tabs on what you do, but I'm willing to bet you'll be surprised by the volume of information Facebook has about you. In fact, even your Ring doorbell app is sharing information with Facebook. {Click HERE to find out more} |

Cats are notorious for their indifference to humans: almost any owner will testify to how readily these animals ignore us when we call them. But a new study indicates domestic cats do recognize their own names—even if they walk away when they hear them. {Click HERE to read more}

(If you are unfamiliar with copyright laws in the USA, I would start here, because understanding the copyright issues surrounding the baby Yoda crochet pattern, and an understanding of the latest copyright policy is important.)
Thanksgiving day, November 28th 2019, Allison Hoffman of Crafty is Cool released a Baby Yoda crochet pattern , called “The Child”. The pattern was initially released for $7US and sold on Ravelry and Etsy.
Just 5 days later, on December 2nd, the pattern (pictured below) was removed after Hoffman received a warning phone call from Disney, claiming trademark and copyright violations and threatening legal action. {Click HERE to read more}
