What’s up in 2016?
Oh, my, is another year nearly gone already? I guess I’ve been a bit busy, it seems like we just started 2015.
I don’t see myself getting less busy in 2016 either…
So, let’s chat about what’s on the plate for 2016.
I Like Crochet!!
As you all know by now, I’m a little behind in my plans for the summer. So far behind that the girls started school the other day and I still haven’t finished everything I was going to do over the summer. One of the things that I didn’t get to was sharing a review with you about the new online magazine I Like Crochet.

I am now running my tests in a group on Facebook. If you want to test either of these patterns, or if you will be interested in testing knit or crochet patterns for me in the future, then join this group. First … Read more
February Break
I’ve never understood why some school !have February breaks. It’s too cold to go out, and it means that spring break has to be moved later so it doesn’t coincide with Easter. Plus it makes the school year end even later. Oh well, we have it, so we will make the best of it! The girls had quite a crazy day on Thursday. They came home with so much candy, and we still had left overs from Christmas! Then in the evening … Read more
