Hi Everyone,

Sorry this is so late.  Life interupted this week.  I started a new
full time job and my husband also started a new full time job this
week and he is away for 6 weeks so of course I helped him get ready
for his time away.  He is training as a truck driver!

Well anyway, better late than never.  I have posted a brand new
pattern for a hat.  Take a look!!
http://www.jpfun.com/patterns/index.shtml

It is still a great time to become a member!  For just $2.95 per
month, you can have access to over 550 original patterns!  Plus you
can have access to the Stitch A Long project as well.  Right now I
am working on a tablecloth.

Hi Everyone!
I have just uploaded this week's new free pattern!

It is a candle for the holidays!  Of course if you wanted to make it
creepy, you can use orange and black yarn for Halloween.  :)

You can check it out at
http://www.jpfun.com/patterns/index.shtml


Also if you are not yet a member, now is a good time to join.  Just
in time for getting those holiday gifts made.
I am unable to add patterns every day but I am still adding 5
patterns per week even if all of them are posted in 1 or 2 days.

$2.95 per month is a great price to have access to over 20 new
patterns per month.  :)

Hi Everyone!

I have just uploaded a brand new granny square pattern!  It is
called Harvest Square in honor of Autumn up here in the Northern
Hemisphere!

By the way, I sprained my ankle on Sunday so I may be a little slow
in getting patterns posted this week.  It's really hard to get
around.  My doc says it is a very bad sprain.

Anyway!  Enjoy the new pattern!

I am starting a new cash prize thing!

It will not cost money to register to win but you do have to
register using your points account.  The dollar value of the prize
will be based on how many monthly paying members there are on the
first of every month.  This cash prize will start when the monthly
paying members count reaches 200 monthly paying members.  Monthly
paying members can get 10 point free entries by entering using a
special form inside their member area.  I am still setting it up so
watch for more news about it soon.  There is information about it at
http://www.jpfun.com/contest/contest.shtml

If you would like to start seeing the cash prize being awarded
quickly and seeing the amount awarded go up, you can help by
becoming a monthly paying member for just $2.95.  The cash prize
value will be $.05 per monthly paying member starting at 200
members.  So the first prize will probably be at least $10.00.

You can sign up at http://www.jpfun.com/store/index.shtml

The more monthly members we have, the more the cash prize will be.

Just omit the last round in it.

Hello Everyone!

I plan on picking the latest winners in the JPF Crochet Club monthly

to give you an opportunity to enter for free without having to spend
any points to do so.

You can get 20 point free entries if you would please answer the
latest survey I have added to the site.

It is about a Gift Shop I am considering putting back on the site.

Here is the survey.

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to let you know a new free pattern has been added to the
site yesterday.

I would have sent out the notice yesterday but was having difficulty
with my internet connection and the picture did not make it all the
way until earlier today.

Enjoy the new pattern!
http://www.jpfun.com/patterns/index.shtml

I would have posted the pattern sooner but I spent most of last week
in bed with a bad bad intestinal illness.  I am not 100% better but
getting there.   Plus I did not have internet access for a few days.

I have also been laid off of my full time job until September so I
will be able to devote all of my full time job hours to my web site
and patterns!  :)  So now is a great time to become a member if you
are not one already.

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to let you know I just added a new free pattern to the
site a few minutes ago!

http://www.jpfun.com/patterns/index.shtml


I also plan to pick the March winner of the raffle for the cash
prize and for the prize package. The winners will be picked tomorrow
sometime so if you have not entered, now is your chance to win!

http://www.jpfun.com/contest/index.shtml

Also, I have added 5 new patterns since March 30, 2005! Now is the
time to join to take advantage of the several new patterns I plan to
add over the spring and summer! I will be adding 4-6 patterns per
week!  All for just $2.95 per month.

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to let you know I just added a new page to the site for accessing
all of the patterns from one page.

Perhaps you know exactly what pattern you are looking for but don't want to
search for it in the pattern directory.  Well I just added a "Pattern Index" to
the site which on it has all of the patterns on the site listed on it in
alphabetical order (with the exception of the Stitch Along Patterns).  Remember
almost all of the patterns on the site are listed on it so if you are not a paid
member, you will not be able to access the patterns marked as "For Members
Only".

I have colored the free patterns with a pink background so you can easily spot
them.

To check out the new page go to the link below and find the "Pattern Index" link
on the page.
http://www.jpfun.com

Please let me know what you think of this new page.

Also if you want to become a member so you can have access to all of the
patterns and the stitch along patterns, it is just $2.95 per month.

There are now 620 patterns on the site and I am about to add another Members
only pattern to the site and I added part 5 of the tablecloth pattern in the
Stitch Along area today.
You can sign up by clicking on the link below.

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to let you know I have just uploaded a brand new free
pattern just in time for spring planting!  It is a simple plant
hanger for 6" pots.

You can check it out by going to
http://www.jpfun.com/patterns/index.shtml

Enjoy!!

By the way, if you are not yet a member of the JPF Crochet Club, you
can sign up for just $2.95 per month and have access to over 600
original patterns.  All of the patterns are designed by me and the
library has been growing since March 15, 1998!  I plan to keep all
of the patterns I design on the site and none of them will be taken
down for any reason.  Once they are there, they are there for good.

I also add on average 14 patterns per month to the site from March
through August.  Imagine, just $2.95 for 14 new patterns per month!
That is how much I would charge for just 1 pattern if I was offering
them individually.  This really is a major bargain!

Hi Everyone!
I am planning to move the www.jpfun.com web site to a new host so
there may be a period during the next 7 days that you will not be able
to access the site.

I am making this move to save money and hopefully have better uptime
for the site and hopefully eliminate problems with the
jbolduc@... emails I have been having.

Thank you for your patience during this move.

I will keep you informed on what is happening during the transition
period and I will send you a message as soon as you are unable to
access the site and let you know how long it will be down.  Of course
it will be an estimate of time.

Sincerely
Julie A. Bolduc
http://www.jpfun.com

Hi Everyone!
Well it looks like the move to the new host is complete and everything
seems to be working ok.

If you see anything not working, please let me know.

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to let you know I just uploaded a new free pattern for
a dishcloth!  It uses one of the stitches I developed and I combined
it with a 3 dc shell.  It is really fun and easy to make and you
should be able to make it with just 1 ball of crochet cotton.

Enjoy!

To become a member and get access to all of the patterns on the
site, there are now over 625 of them, for just $2.95 per month, you
can go to http://www.jpfun.com/store/index.shtml

Think of it this way, if you sign up today, you can have access to
all of the patterns that are on the site now and any new ones I add
during the next 30 days.  Then you can always cancel your account at
the end of 30 days if you feel it is not for you.  I plan to add
about 25 patterns during the next 30 days.  That is less than $.12
per new pattern added during the next 30 days.

Remember though, in order to take advantage of having access for the
full 30 days, you should wait to cancel until just before the 30
days is up because you will lose access on the day you cancel.

Sincerely
Julie A. Bolduc

Hi Everyone!

to finishing the 2nd pattern in our stitch along.  A round
tablecloth.  I have about 25 rounds to go before it is completely
finished.  It should take a few more weeks to post the last 2 parts.

To become a member is just $2.95 per month which is a really good
price considering right now I adding about 5 new patterns per WEEK.
That is over 20 patterns per month for just $2.95!.
