I’m working on some projects that are meant to be a surprise for someone – I will share them here soon I promise! Here is something I made to use up some of my scraps of t-shirt yarn. Since I don’t actually know how to crochet my attempts at following any kind of pattern are … Continue reading
My niece is making her first Communion in a few weeks and I have the honor of making her veil. Making a veil is a fun project, easy and inexpensive. The first veil I made was my wedding veil after being shocked by the price of the veils at the bridal salon my mom convinced … Continue reading
