I learned to crochet at my grandmother’s knee when I was five years old. Quilting is quite certainly my true passion… but I always seem to have some crochet project going on. In part because of that strong connection with my grandmother, in part because it is easy enough to pick up at any moment, and in part because it is a break from working and sewing, particularly in the evening, while watching the news or a movie.

Done, done, DONE!

February 27th, 2018

Another day, another BOM!

January 15th, 2018

I read somewhere that January 15 is Blue Monday this year, and as such the most depressing day of the year. It’s all based on some mathematical equation much too complicated for me to understand.

Let’s try this again!

December 31st, 2017
