2024 Recap and 2025 Beginning

 How exciting to report that I used 204 skeins of yarn in 2024 and made 118 individual items.  Hmmm, what would be a good goal for 2025? How about 225 skeins of yarn and 120 items?   Some of my items will not be yarn related since I'm sure my Cricut will get some use.  DD is going on a missions trip to Southeast Asia and they are having a fundraiser.  DD has asked if I would be willing to donate items that I made.  Why not?!  We will have to see how 2025 turns out!  Happy Crafting!

December Crafty Goodness 2024

 Wow!  The month of December was a good crafty month.  It felt good to finish up some projects, start new ones and complete a CAL!   The kids all said they needed new kitchen scrubbies and  so did we! Time to replace the pot holders! Another pot holder And the corner to corner temp blanket is  COMPLETE! One more pot holder! Finally finished Em's cardigan!  This is a putsy pattern but it looks nice when completed! I used Premier Anti-Pilling DK yarn in Charcoal. The pattern was byLakeside Loops and is called the  Peyton Cardigan. To finish out the year I participated in the Crochet-a-long by Spotted Horse Designs.  Every morning in December leading up to Christmas she posted a new ornament pattern to make that day.  It was lots of fun and filled up our little tree quite nicely!  Thank you Christine!
