Hello, I’m back again! Life got busy… again. This time it included a cross country move from California to upstate New York. I’ve been settling into my new position at my day job. I’m also settling into my new home in the snow. Since crochet is my hobby and this blog is my side hustle, they had to be put…
So here I am, still working towards a pattern for the RAINBOW DRESS I discovered an inline shell pattern a few months ago and started experimenting with it.

Next week, I’ll make it even bigger, adding a place…

I just love how this beanie turned out – it’s so colorful and cute! I drove all the way to Hobby Lobby a few months ago and picked up a small stash of some of their beautiful yarn. Wanting to make something with what I’d bought, I decided to use some ‘I Love this Cotton’ for this project. The cotton…
