Hello Everyone!

       Hello! I am sorry that I have not been posting much recently! I have been pretty busy between college starting back up this past week and working around 20 hours a week. This is going to be a short post because I haven't finished any more projects since the last time I posted. (I know, I'm bad!) I wanted to make a short note that if anyone is interested in anything that I post, please let me know! Thank you everyone for your continued support!

What's Next?

       I have been having a bit of a difficult time lately with trying to figure out what to make next! I have plenty of yarn and some fabric, but I just cannot decide what to make! If you have any ideas of some different projects, please let me know! I enjoy making the dish cloths because they are fairly straightforward and I am pleased with how they turn out.
       Another point that I wanted to make on this post is that any and all feedback is welcome and enjoyed! Whether it is comments, questions, or even criticisms. I would also like to say thank you to everyone who has taken a few minutes out of their day to read my blog as well! Your encouragement is refreshing! :)

Some of My Previous Projects

       As you can probably tell by the title of this post, I wanted to share some pictures of some of the projects I had already made before I created this blog. Things have been pretty hectic lately, but I would like to remain somewhat regular at posting here on my blog.

 This is a picture of another dish cloth that I started and finished two nights ago. I thought I would try something different with this one by creating a thicker edging, and I am pleased with the results!

This is a photo of a small wall hanging that I created a few years ago using applique and a drawing that I drew myself. It measures 10 1/4" x 12".

This is a photo of a lap quilt that I also made a few years ago, using what is called, a snowball block. This finished quilt measures 38 1/2" x 52 1/2".

You're Never Too Old...

       You're never too old to learn something new! I decided that during this winter break that I was going to teach myself how to crochet and finish at least one project! I was determined, and after learning various tricks, techniques and stitches, I decided that I was ready to tackle a project. Something small that wasn't too difficult or wouldn't take too long. I decided on making dish cloths for my mom using Sugar 'n Cream yarn. It was super easy to work with and I am proud of my results! They aren't exactly perfect but I'd say that I did pretty well! Here is a picture of the two that I created the other day.


Let me know what you think! Also, if you have any tips or tricks don't be afraid to share them!
