We have another crochet blanket maker in the family! It’s her second crochet baby blanket and it looks sooo good! So proud of my girl 💛 Pattern by from the Handmade Hugs book, available on Amazon (see my story or profile link). It’s a wonderful book with 55 great patterns for beginner to intermediate crocheters. My daughter loved learning the shell stitch for a pretty border. Thank you Tiffany & crew!

So proud of my friend Kaitlyn!!! 🥹 She’s now a published crochet author and this arrived today in the mail! One of my kids pre-ordered it for me for my birthday gift. Go Kaitlyn!!

If you’re wondering who the heck I am, I’ve taken a much needed extended break from social media and publishing crochet designs (I have a bunch just sitting around my house!) to raise teenagers. If you haven’t been there yet yourself, BUCKLE UP. 😂 My oldest is preparing for the 4-year college track so we’ve been doing college visits & research and writing scholarship essays and Senior year prep. All three of my kids are in band and two took private lessons over the summer. We went camping and on several vacations this summer. We had church activities and sports and we are undergoing a huge home remodel (my husband is a contractor). All the chaos makes it hard to concentrate and give crochet designing the focused attention it needs. But, I am SUPER grateful for this crochet business I have because it was how we paid for those private music lessons over the summer! If you have ever purchased a pattern from me, or used a free pattern from my website, THANK YOU for supporting my family and our hopes & dreams 💛💛💛

Now, go buy Kaitlyn’s crochet book and get inspired! Support your yarn friends!

Finished project!! Feels sooo good! Have you finished anything lately? I’ve been stuck on a bunch of almost finished projects but I finally got some momentum going last week. This large bag is the Marlowe Tote crochet pattern from and it’s available for purchase or free on her blog 👍🏼 The stitch pattern makes a tight weave, which is perfect for a tote bag. I highly recommend this pattern, which is very clearly written and has creative methods!
