Summer Stitching
I have been knitting and crocheting like crazy all summer long. I’m not sure why because I usually don’t do that much stitching this time of year. Here are some of the projects I’ve actually completed (key word, “completed”!) this summer.

I’m not sure what’s gotten into me but it’s been a productive summer playing with yarn!

Something that isn’t see through, so that when my suit is damp I can just wear my cover up. Something that is is flirty and fun. How hard could it be??? Well it was super hard. I looked high and low and all I could find were shapeless coverups that just didn’t fill the bill. So after going from store to store and checking out my options, I decided to take matters into my own...
Read MoreBeauty All Around Me
I love to take pictures. I take pictures of everything. My family, the dog, nature. I’m constantly snapping pictures and I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s beauty all around me.
