A few things motivate me. Seasons, colors & people.

I want to be seasonably correct, and will crochet a season or two in advance. That's why we were looking at snowflakes in July!

White & off white are nice, but we all have that rush of feeling when we see our favorite color used in a different way. Working with the seasons & trends, I can find all kinds of color combinations no one else is crocheting.

I ask & listen to what you're saying! Many of my patterns are suggested by you. The Danielle Lacy Shamrock & Nancy Heart are named after the people who made those suggestions.
I was always asked if I crocheted my tiaras & my response was to do just that...
Please keep up the great ideas, I'm absorbing them all.
