Our family just left our home in California, and now we are finally settled into a cozy apartment in Texas. …
Moving Day is Approaching

My Favorite Stitch Right Now: The “V” Stitch
Ah, the “V” stitch. When mixed with a worsted weight yarn and J hook, you can have a project finished in no time. I just love how something as simple as a double crochet, used in a slightly different way, can produce such beauty. I mean, just LOOK at it! It gives the project a …
