Well, any of the things I’ve started! Haha! I did manage to wrap up that cute little Aestas Top for my kidlet, but then she did her laundry. Silly me, I didn’t pay attention to the care instructions when I gave it to her. Just so you know, Yarn Bee’s Color Idyll yarn is hand [...]

Temperature Blanket April Update!
Okay, I’m a week late. I really fell off the wagon in April and had to scramble to make about 25 squares. Oops. 29 April squares and four May squares Then once I had them made, I sat on them for a few more days before I finally pieced them together. Hmm. It’s not like [...]

It’s time for a temperature blanket update, but I’m a few days behind. Luna is helping me get caught up! Enjoying the weather while we can!
2021 Temperature Blanket – March is Done!
March was busy with gardening and more gardening! It is definitely bluebonnet season now. For a while I thought my yard was going to be the only place in the area with the state flower, but I’m starting to see more and more of them in yards and fields. I’m not sure why mine were [...]
Take and Eat
Back when I was doing my hand study paintings, I bought and downloaded a bunch of inspiration photos to use. One of them was this great image of hands holding out bread that perfectly illustrated the “take and eat” verses. But I’ve been staring at it for over a year because I’ve been intimidated by [...]
A Crisis of Yarn Choices
I finally caught my 2021 temperature blanket up to February 14, the arrival of Winter Storm Uri. And then I realized I had a problem: the low temperatures under 20 didn’t really stand out the way I hoped. Left: Feb 12, high 33 (mist), low 30 (mist). Right: Feb 14, high 31 (mist), low 14 [...]
2021 Temperature Blanket
We all thought 2020 was weird. 2021 seems to be giving it a run for its money. I’ve seen temperature blankets before, but I haven’t been a fan. Most of them are just rows of a single color, and they span the rainbow. I don’t love the look, and it doesn’t coordinate with any room [...]

I have several big projects going on right now, so I wanted something that would work up quick. I knew I wanted to do this Aestas Top for my daughter, and I thought it might be the something quick I was looking for. The beginning of something beautiful It started off a little rough. I [...]
Ivy League Top, Instructions (WIP)
Last week I wrote a post about my current favorite project, which I named the Ivy League Top since it didn't have a name. I guess it might have a name, but as I explained in the post, I don't read Russian, and that's the language the original pattern is in, which you can find [...]
Lighthouse Afghan
I seem to be a bit unfocused when it comes to my crochet. I have several projects going at once. It seems this is a common problem among yarners, especially if they are big projects. One of the big projects I have in my bucket is this beautiful Lighthouse Afghan that I purchased from Annie's [...]
