“Flowers are like friends; they bring color to your world.”–unknown And so the perfect gift for friends is…flowers. When I saw this Flower Shoppe Afghan kit from Herrschners, Inc., I knew I had to make it. It took some time, but the result is AMAZING. With the sun shining through the window on an early… Continue reading Into the Flower Shoppe
The perfect finish to a coffee date with friends is a stop at the yarn store. It’s been a long time since I went to a real yarn store: one with a kaleidoscope of colors and textures and fibers. Darn Yarn Needles & Thread is located in the quaint downtown of historic Harmony, Pa. (In… Continue reading I Love Yarn, Darn It!
A few years ago, I introduced you all to the Moogly Crochet Along (CAL) which I have participated in either fully or partially for the past six years. Interestingly, I still have sewn together my squares from 2016. It keeps going on my to do-list, but then falls off of it. It wouldn’t be hard,… Continue reading Jumping on the Bandwagon
“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…”

As the school year comes to a close for both… Continue reading The Tortoise and the Hare
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! I know, right? We had this plan, and then….and then…no excuses. So this is the post for… Continue reading Chugging Along and Crocheting Along
I feel like my posts have been few and far between lately. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been crocheting. A day without crochet hook in hand is very rare. I’ve still been cranking out baby blankets, hoarding yarn, and planning out my next projects. Today I finished a beautiful blanket from the Lunar Crossings… Continue reading Crocheting Into Fall
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…
When I was growing up, our city had a service called Time & Temperature. There was a number we could call (on our corded phone).
