When I started this blog, it was just a way to add more info about my crafting projects that might not be included in my Ravelry project page, but I feel like I’ve been doing a better job of adding info there so this has fallen by the wayside. It …
Wow, how did it become April already? I’ve been so lax about writing down details on my yarnie projects, but I guess I’ve just been too busy finishing one up and starting another. The cutest thing I made in March is definitely this adorable lovey. I made it just in time …
Coinciding with this week’s unseasonably warm (60 degrees!) weather, I worked diligently on the Flo Tank for a friend’s kid who’s turning 3 in March. I had other projects lined up and wanted to make sure I was managing my time properly. Thankfully, I was able to finish the tank …
