Crocheting

 I am trying to help my DD get back into crocheting, so I've taken it up again.

I finished a shawl that DD asked me to make look like Autumn.

She even sent a photo for inspiration. 

I finished it last night.

I need to get a photo of her wearing it.

I'll update the post when I have the new photo.

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a Happy 2026!
Wishing you a year filled with good health, happiness, and unforgettable moments. 

My word of the year is CLARITY.
I need to clarify my routines, my space, my quilting journey, and my life journey.
I'm using this word to help me develop healthy routines.
I am using this to help me focus on what is most important in my life.

Enjoy 2026 and make it a FABULOUS year.
