Oh the cuteness, I can barely stand it! Last night at SnB I practiced my crochet skills on this wee little baby toy. It's adorable, and was quick and easy to make, but I'm not 100% happy with it - maybe only 98%! I will be adjusting a few things when I make it again… Continue reading FO Friday – a peek

Green!
Today is another weather day. Nothing major, just rain for my area, but it is so very grey. And drippy.

They were relatively quick,… Continue reading Crossing off that List (still checking it twice)

Exhibit 1 - I can crochet! Is this the dark side? I can do a basic chain, single crochet and… Continue reading Distractions
Birthday Nutshell
So now, I'm 30 plus 1. As my dad said to me on Saturday, having birthdays is much better than the alternative you know. Thanks dad. 🙂 It was a really good birthday - I got to do a little bit of everything! And there's stuff to look forward to - like U2!!!! - September… Continue reading Birthday Nutshell
