This 'Serged Dream Coat' pattern is nothing short of SPECTACULAR! Designer Stephanie Pokorny of @crochetverse says that her popular pattern took nine month to complete with no less than 185 hours of editing! 🤩🔮 Wow!
By the way, if you've seen the crocheted Halloween costume of a Gremlin, that is by crochetverse on Instagram and is NOT AI or a trick. She just rules.
I may be a tad protective of my apprentice lol no one gets away with saying her work isn't worth what she asks for it, especially her family members.
Artists often undervalue our own work. We have trouble asking for a living wage for our skills and labour.
We often only charge for materials even though we spend hours, days, weeks or even months on a project.
It takes a long time to recognize your own worth and skill and I encourage everyone, if you have an artist in the family, do not ask for their labour for free and do not undervalue them.
Good family and friends will pay what you ask and above when you undercharge on your work.
If someone doesn't value your art your art isn't for them. Move on to someone who appreciates your labour.

So I have a little boy who is 12 yo and he is autistic. His most favorite thing in the whole world is swimming in our modest above ground pool.
Lately the wasps have returned with a vengence! Like were there ever this many 😲
My little dude is completely petrified of them! And now he's scared if going in the pool 😤They are heartless bastards, you can't change my mind don't try. My evidence he's (little dude) been stung 4 times. He wouldn't hurt a bacteria! He's the sweetest most gentle and kind little boy. He'll hug a person he's just met. He will shower you with kisses and hugs. He is sweet like diabetic SWEET.
YES WASPS ARE BASTARDS!
Ok so what can mama bear do?
I can crochet 💪
Mom to the rescue!
So I spent two afternoons and I came up with my own design for this super simple crochet pattern! Now I'll have these hanging EVERYWHERE.
Wasps are bastards I know you agree but they are pollinators, so they have some redeeming qualities. This is the perfect thing to deter them and it works!!! No risky spraying (booo unnecessary chemicals) they just buzz off!
