About Me

A Lovely Craftroom Crochet Hook Storage

inis-lovely
My name is Inis Lovely. Yes, that is my real name. I’m a former TV producer whose current day job is putting together a monthly magazine for the Air Force. I love my job! I get to play with words and be creative in a fun office with fun people.

I like writing in my spare time, too. I won kudos and the grand prize in an international screenwriting contest a few years back (when my name was Inis Clubs). And, I recently self-published a beginner’s book on selling in an antique mall – a topic near and dear to my heart. I’ve got a novel and another screenplay in the works now.

Yarns and threads are another love of mine. I always have a project on the needles or on the hook. Throw in a little home design and decor and I’m a happy girl. Lot’s of interests, hmmm? That’s because I’m a flat out crazy woman who quite possibly has ADD ; )  Thanks for taking the time to visit.

    I am trying to find pens made from silverware for my daughter’s wedding. When I googled it, your site
    came up & I saw a picture of 5 pens. Do you have these for sale or do you know where I might find some?
    I need about 10. Thank you for your help.
    Tammy Lynn

  2. Lovely04-09-2009

    Tammy, I have sent you an email regarding the pens.

    Dear Inis,
    I came across the photo of the little dress pictured on your dress giveaway, and it looks just like the one I used to crochet as gifts 25 years ago. The pattern is long lost, and I’m now a grandmother who would give anything to be able to make them again for my 2 granddaughters – both turning 3. Do you know where I could find the pattern? It is such a beautiful little dress!

  4. Lovely04-17-2009

    Patti Ann, I altered it a bit but the original pattern is in the may/june 08 issue of Crochet Today. It’s on page 68 and is called “flower baby”.

  5. Patti Ann04-19-2009

    Thank you so much for the lead — looks like the pattern is for baby girls, but I could probably adjust the size. This is a great help – I’ll let you know how they turn out!

    Hello Lovely,

    I would have a question regarding one of the picture on your nice website:
    http://alovelything.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/my-little-city-girl-coat.jpg

    I just wanted to know if I could use this picture to make a photo shoot for creating a wedding card for my sister. I would swift the face of the girl with the one of my little nephew. Of course I would send you the result.

    Thanks by advance for your return.

    Best regards from France.
    Franck

  12. Lovely01-27-2011

    That picture belongs to My Little Little City Girl. You need to ask her to use the photo in that way.

  13. Judith01-31-2011

    This is off your topic. But I was entering Gnomeo and Juliet on Blog her. I found your Gnomeo button but I don’t know where to enter the comment that I found it. I asked Blogher and they said on the blog I found it. So I quess my question is not only for your blog but for others I find.

  14. Judith01-31-2011

    Blog her just told me that the omment is on their page So to have bothered you.

  15. Helene08-25-2011

    Hey!

    I read your article Legwarmers – Chic or EEK? and I really love those crochet lace leg warmers, the ones that are kind of nude coloured. I’ve been trying to find a pair to buy for my sister for Christmas! Can you help me? Do you have any idea where I could get a pair?

    Thanks so much!

    Shannon

    Hi, I was reading over your leg warmer article and loved it! I wanted to know if you would kindly review my lacey leg warmers at my Etsy shop Luxey Leg Candy. I would be honored if you reviewed them. Thank you for your time and LOVE your blog!
    Mandy
