Now that I’ve been back home for a few weeks, I’m slowly going through everything that I wanted to share of Christmas projects. One of my nieces loves the color purple and her favorite animal is a cow. When I came across this cute cow pattern, I immediately bought it thinking this would be a…

It’s a new year and one project that I have been wanting to do is a temperature blanket. The basic idea behind the temperature blanket is that you create a color legend for a range of temperatures assigning a certain color for each one. Then you track the temperature each day for a year and…

What has been on the crochet hook this week? Absolutely nothing! It makes me sad to realize that I haven’t crocheted anything in this past week. Just today I was thinking that I need to plan my Christmas crochet projects as some I have started and need to finish. So I might be working on…

Lately I have been crocheting items to sell at a craft fair. I’m excited but am ready to work on a project for my or/and my brood. Pinterest is totally addicting. I love it. There are so many projects I have found that I want to give a try. I should at least start a…
