Following a pattern found in Simply Crochet Magazine Issue 39, I made a soft, squishy blanket. I used a new to me yarn: Lion Brand's Feels Like Butta. Super soft and … Continue reading Baby Blanket

Quilting
A long, long time ago, I made some squares to make a baby quilt for a friend (well about 2 months ago). I finally worked on it this weekend. I was going to make a stroller size quilt, but had some issues putting my blocks together (as in, I didn't pay attention and didn't want to … Continue reading Quilting

Yarn Along
My last Yarn Along post stated I was going to read Liane Moriarty's newest book-Truely, Madly, Guilty. Well, it never happened. Basically, because the new Harry Potter came out! So, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was quickly downloaded and read. Not as good as the original series (what could be?), but enjoyable none-the-less! Next … Continue reading Yarn Along
