The impossible question

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow. Every decision, from the largest to the smallest, is an opportunity for learning and growth.

Taking it to the next level

My crochet journey is getting ready to go to a whole new level! Brad bought me this stitch dictionary. It’s amazing. Not only does it teach 125 stitches, but it also teaches the increases, decreases, and shaping patterns so I can learn how to make things in all shapes and sizes, not just squares, rectangles,

My kids.

Thursday’s Thoughts

Hello friends. Happy Thursday. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. I am feeling much better than I was last night, but not looking forward to an early morning grandkids day tomorrow.
