What's a Tukie

Tukie?
Could this be a Tukie? I'm not sure but it was fun trying to come up with something original for a freelance job.

The weather here in Georgia has just been plain old "hot". Too hot to work in the garden-no rain and lots of weeds. Trying to just keep the plants watered in getting past this hot spell.

I've joined every freelance site I could find. Elance.com, ifreelance.com, and guru.com. I've created a store at zazzle.com. Zazzle is fun and I love the new products for the signature phone covers and ipads, skateboards too. Wished I had done that when my boys were into skateboarding years ago.

These are the things I've done to keep myself being creative on a daily level. Then I go on to think what more can I do?
Well, as this blog is titled "Bongo Creative-Traveling with the Divine Creative Spirit", now it's time to allow the Spirit to move within me. Allow the Spirit to stir it up. To surrender, to release my control of how everything should be. What I try to make happen, doesn't happen in my time. But Oh watch out-because everything happens at just the right time with my "on-time" God.

Before retiring tonight I pray that for all the mechanisms I've put into place that God will bring about the right jobs for me. I pray that His gift of creativity will flow through me tomorrow as I prepare a gift for healing for a friend who has lost a loved one.

What is a Tukie? I couldn't say. What I can say is that my God is an Awesome God and I surrender to Him that He may use me according to His Plan. Thank you for all Your wonderful blessings dear Father-Mother God. Thank you for loving me. Amen.

The Flora Project

Flora the Book Promotion  Good morning everyone and Happy Spring! I've recently accepted a commission to create a doll to  represent the character of the book "Flora". I've been tasked with making 25 dolls to go with the book. Flora doll While making these dolls I thought I would share with you some design tips in crochet with what I've learned while making these dolls. Unfortunately I can't share the pattern itself but I can share some do's and don't(s) which may make your design projects go a bit more smoothly. For instance: Tip #1 (which I may have come to learn a bit late in the game) for a smoother finish look around the edges of sleeves and dresses use a slip stitch around the final row of the piece. The sleeve on the right is the sleeve with the slip stitch. The one on the left is not and it leaves a definite mark at the end of the row.  Let me know your thoughts about it or if you have any other suggestions to benefit all you lovely crochet-ers...
