Hi!! and my Glass Slippers

Hi everyone. This is my first post. I have never done a blog before, but seen them and thought they were neat, but I never really had anything to post about. I'm on ravelry, so all my projects are there, so a blog seemed like too much work to just keep track of my projects, BUT yesterday I had some inspiration. I was going through all my emails from yahoo crochet groups that I belong to and read a question about a coaster pattern for a wine glass. So I thought, why can't I do this?? It seems easy enough. I have designed a pumpkin hat before, but thats it. And although I thought it was adorable, I still didn't think I could design anything else. But I gave it a try and it was quick and easy and pretty nice I think. So....heres my first design entry for my blog!
