Halloween Idea

As summer begins to wind down I know everyone is excited about the upcoming holidays and what you can make with your looms. Today I had an idea, using one of the videos I have already done.

Behind The Scenes

The joys of video editing, which I actually do enjoy.

Deciding the parts I can "speed" up, adding notes to it and so forth. Maybe it's the writer in me, maybe I'm a little crazy. 

I am editing the Mini Easter Basket now, which I have a pattern for, and hopefully will have it up by tonight. Then editing a video for my Plus Size To Down Size Blog/Youtube channel.

I love my job; I can be creative and my own boss. LOL
