Good Saturday morning everyone. The last Saturday of 2024, wow.
What are you all up to today?
I am down with the respiratory crud going around. So spending day in sweats, sipping lemon ginger and honey tea, watching Netflix and doing some crochet. It's been a long time since I have actually done any. Have struggled with the want to do it, the fact that with our 6 pack i have to be careful where I sit to do it, and just feeling inspired.
I love vintage Christmas decor, and I still have crochet stocking my Great Grandmother made me as a child.
This inspired me to attempt to make ones to pass down to my family.
So started there ...
Here is the beginning...

My goal for 2025, do more crochet. It calms my mind and keeps my hands busy.

2025 will be more handmade less commercial, at least that's my goal.

Here's to goals and handmade hand me downs.

Have a blessed day 😃

Crocheting is proof that the world is full of endless possibilities. With it, even the simplest threads come to life, intertwining in dazzling creations that transcend the limits of imagination.

Good morning all. Wow it's been a long time since I have checked in.
This year has been crazy busy, our youngest got married in October so we have been wide open all year.

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year 2022 🥳

Here's to a more relaxing and creative new year 🍻
