More than a full year has gone by without me updating this blog… at all!

Oh, boy, oh boy… am I ever late in posting!
Another angel…
I’ve had this little beauty sitting around for a while. Finally mounted onto a dark background and have hung it with the rest of my angel collection.

Being in lock-down is no excuse for not celebrating! At least that is what I tell myself…
Crochet Mandalas
I learned to crochet at my grandmother’s knee, at only 5 years old. And though quilting is my passion, crochet continues to be a big part of my world.
Scrappy crochet
