 It was a busy month crafty wise.  One of my biggest time consumers was a Cardi that bombed.  It might take a while to frog the alpaca yarn🧶.  Oh well, you win some and you lose some.  Onward forward! What a fun mug for a dear friend's granddaughter.   The file came from DesignBundles.com Leggy Bunnies for the grandkids!   Pattern is by Jo's Web More bunnies for the grandkids!  Thanks, Jo's Web! Another Dino shirt for my friend's granddaughter Some Cricut t-shirts for a dear friend and her friends and family.   Thanks Design Bundles! A kitchen set for DS#4's girlfriend.   All patterns were found on Pinterest My favorite!

What a fun month of crafty goodness!  Of course, I didn't get everything accomplished that I wanted to but such is life!  I've got a good start on projects for March. The highlight of the month was visiting Herrschners!  Thanks hubby for a very fun trip!   Dream come true!  Now if I can save up enough money to go to their warehouse sale.  Hmmm A new farmer's market bag.  Yes, I sewed the bottom together wrong.  Hubby and I decided we would try it this way and if we don't like it I will switch it. I used Lion Brand Limited Edition Neutrals. The pattern is by Stitchberry.  Sorry I messed it up! This has to be one of the coziest sweaters I have made yet!  I used  Caron Latte Cakes yarn.  Super soft, fuzzy, and warm.  Too bad we have had such a mild winter! This pattern came from BHOOKED. Temperature blanket update.  Yes, I still have been able to keep up with all of those ends.  Too weird that I had to bust out the yarn for 60*. A crop sweater for son #4's girlfriend.

Welcome 2024!  Along with a new year comes new crafty goals.  Goals:  To make as many items as I can, using the stash I already have, and blessing as many people as I can! The month started off well but I wasn't able to complete as many items as I wanted.  I will be thankful for the things I did accomplish. I used 26 skeins of yarn and  purchased 8 new skeins.  Let's see what February holds. I do need to fix a few Christmas gifts that are either too long or too short in the sleeves.  Someday I'll get this right! 😄 Leah's b-day sweater using Hobiko Starfall yarn Hat for A using leftover yarn from blanket A's birthday blanket using Herrschner's Worsted 8 New Bible bag since the last one wasn't working well January's beginning of my yearly temperature blanket.
