Today is one of my favorite days of the year–garden planning and playing in some dirt! I went through my seeds, drew up my plans, and got 28 seedlings under my grow light today. It may be a tiny bit early, but it was a sunny afternoon and I wanted...
For Christmas, I received a subscription to Yarnyay! and my first box arrived in late December. I was still finishing up my crochet trees, so didn’t get a chance to dive into this project until this month. I chose the knit version (each pattern includes a crochet and knit option)...
