“Oh, we’re halfway there. Oh, livin’ on a …” Wait! In this case, we’re not living on a prayer. Our learned skill has gotten us this far (and definitely prayer, because what is life without that?). Block #13 of the Moogly CAL was released last Thursday, and I am constantly amazed that as an experienced… Continue reading “Oh, we’re halfway there…”
Every baby is a gift. A baby who was planned. A baby who was a surprise. A baby who was adopted. This blanket honors all babies. Every single gift. When this pattern was being conceived (see what I did there?), I had the rainbow first. These modern rainbows are everywhere these days and I wanted… Continue reading Modern Rainbow Baby Blanket (Paid Pattern)

Not only that, but you can instead choose to purchase a… Continue reading Spring Peony Blanket and Spring Blossoms Bundle (Paid Pattern)
In our homeschool co-op, my children learn a thirteen minute timeline from Creation to the present day. They are taught that they are an imperative part of that narrative. Each venture we pursue and each endeavor we achieve forms a part of our timeline. This is my crochet timeline. As a young child, my mother… Continue reading My Crochet Timeline
In the words of Mr. T, “I pity the fool.” Well, I would pity him if the joke had been not to release block seven on April Fools Day. But it was released and aptly named. The All Fool’s Day Square by Carolyn Christmas on Pink Mambo was a welcome diversion to would be pranksters… Continue reading Fools and Frogs: Moogly CAL Block #7
Today Block #7 of the 2021 Moogly Afghan CAL was released. Wait, block #7? If you’re scrolling back through the posts to read about blocks #5 and #6, let me stop you right now. We didn’t do posts!
