When I was in 8th grade the popular perfume was called Flower Power and it came in an aerosol can.

In high school I grew my hair… Continue reading The Hippie In Me
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

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…

At the end of the year, there are 24 squares to sew together and make a twin-sized blanket. I have participated in 2016, 2017, 2018, and now 2019.

Earlier this year, I shared squares #1-17 in the 2018 Moogly Crochet Along. This is the third year I participated. My 2016 squares are still waiting to be joined. My 2017 squares (though I only did half) were put together and given to a family in need. This year, I plan to get my squares… Continue reading A Little More Bright in the Gloomy Winter: 2018 Moogly CAL
