As I was typing the title to this blog post, I realized I’m one of those people who says “Sher-BERT.” Spell check told me I was wrong. I shouldn’t be surprised. Growing up we had an ice cream shop known for its soft-serve orange sherbet. You could get it alone or with vanilla twist. The… Continue reading Sherbet Blanket
My last post was on the Call the Midwife Blanket, but I had to post again because the pattern just does not disappoint! Today’s color way is Lion Brand Ice Cream Yarn Big Scoop Lemon Merengue. The previous was Mint. Both are beautiful and classic. And I have enough yarn leftover to make one more… Continue reading Call the Midwife…again!
Blog posts haven’t been quick in coming lately. I’m not working on anything new and exciting. I’ve been working on blankets for a pregancy center again. This one is in the Detroit, Michigan, area and is just starting up. I wasn’t sure if I should send my blankets outside our area, but it just seemed… Continue reading Comfy and Classic
A while ago I promised you a post about my amazing new yarn organization system. It turns out I’m not much of an organizer (most of you knew that already!) BUT I finally got enough done to share it with you. After looking at many options, we purchased this system on Amazon. It is a… Continue reading Spring Organization
I feel like all I do on this blog lately is talk about the weather. I obsess over it because of my temperature blanket. I complain the spring is never going to come. Last week we hit 70 degrees only to be pummeled with snow two days later. Spring will come. It happens every year.… Continue reading Spring Daffodil Blanket (Paid Pattern)
The first birthday I remember celebrating of my mom’s was her 39th. I was five-years-old, and I distinctly recall picking out a tennis racket at the local hardware store. I think we even wrapped it in a paper bag. I’m not sure why that birthday sticks in my mind–was it the number or the first… Continue reading Milestones and Merchandise
February turned into a very pretty block for the 2019 Temperature Blanket. For the most part, the temperature was pretty frosty, except for a week of El Nino toward the beginning. We’re expecting a few more inches of snow this morning, but I’m going to hold onto that patch of yellow and continue to hope… Continue reading Frosty February
I feel like I’ve been waiting for this moment since completing the first square of the Moogly CAL last January. The blanket has been over a year in the making, and it is finally finished. With it’s daffodil colors and soft yarn, each of these squares have given me joy. I’ve learned many new techniques.… Continue reading Without Further Ado…
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,” James 1:17. We teach our children that everything we do is to be done for the glory of God. Whether that is sports, art, singing, housework, crocheting, we should use our gifts for God’s kingdom. This is hard, and I fail all of the time.… Continue reading For Good
I am finished with my January block for my 2019 Temperature Blanket. I’m on time. It’s probably the only time I will ever be on time. It’s different, but I like it. This picture was taken post blocking. With the number of ends to weave in, I found that the center of the square was… Continue reading Jumpy January
