You go girl! Love it. You make Crochet look good.
Is that you in the photo to the left on the main screen? You are the Crochet Queen.
I love the way you use large type, colors, bold text, and happy chics and movin' pics.

It's fun to see you having fun, and your entire place looks like a crochet fun house.

Blogger: Gina Renay
Updates: Every Other Day
Pics: A Ton Style, and a whole lot of it. You've never seen anything quite like this before.
Gina is the mastermind behind the fashion-tabulous, poetic blog called, "Awed." Her photo album displays an array of original, creative collections which are sure to provide inspiration and motivation.
She ardently tests the boundaries of crochet with a conglomerate of updated generational styles, from early 1910's-esque high waistline, decorative boutique dresses to 1950's matching secretarial jacket and skirt combinations to modern reconstructed, abstract apparel. Interspliced amongst those are several designs featuring bold, afro-centric patterns. All of her designs showcase an attention to detail.
With a flaire for the unorthodox, Gina's styles are haute, haute, haute!

"in the moment..."
unto a new venture: redefining my visual impact unto the world of exuberant crochet manipulation of innovative design concepts--ho rah! The use of object and armature: a.k.a. ornamentation and embellishment/in that stimulating progression of in-the-moment confrontational tour-de-force; let me entertain you and subject you to the works of my hands/translation of style: ENVISION: carefree, unrestrained exploration of the time that is and continuation onward...the moment...Open My positive thought for the moment "add" or "subtract"
ENGAGE
you, engage
stitch by stitch
line by line
alittle here alittle there
engage
in self
and you'll see
hidden cloaks of invisibility
they say to cover, maybe even to adorn my nakedness
but even within a translation of style
volumes are spoken
forth to engage: acceptance approval
and perhaps beneficial praise
for we all are need of
a covering, a mantle, a wrappping of
visibilty
a construction
of one's imagination
off the hook
AMAZE ME!

I watch the needle fly
across the yellowish yarn sky.
She makes all clothes
and some of those
are made for us from styles that we've chose.
The way she uses the needle, so gallant.
Cause that's my mom's special talent.

You've got to be before you can do, and do before you can have.
Zig Ziglar
I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
