Yarn Along
I enjoy crocheting. I find it therapeutic. I think I’ve said this before… But I also love the idea of taking a ball of yarn and turning it into something ~ a cozy scarf, a colorful flower, a snuggly blanket… Wearing something that I made with my own two hands brings me joy and a sense of satisfaction that few other things can. This week I started crocheting a gray mesh scarf using that I found here at Lilibeth’s Garden. I adore the airy look of the scarf and have made similar ones before in various yarns. This time I decided to use a weightier yarn to make the scarf…

How I Met My Husband
The year was 1994, and I was a sweet, innocent little soldier stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana, about to celebrate my 2nd year in the Army. This is my story, I can tell it any way that I like, just rest assured that what I’m telling you is the whole truth. Anyway, I was sitting in the personnel office updating some paperwork, when I see these two guys in a separate part of the office looking at me. I acknowledged them and kept on talking. And by acknowledged, I mean, I glared at them and shifted in my chair because they were staring at me. So I finished my business,…

Visit their Facebook page here to learn about their charitable partners and decide which cause Walgreens will donate to with a quick vote. A little known fact about me is that I love to crochet. I find it incredibly therapeutic. But the only things I know how to crochet are scarves, blankets and flowers. Yep, that’s it. I can’t make sweaters. I can’t crochet hats or gloves. Not even little baby booties. But what I do make, I make with love. And as much as I big puffy heart scarves (especially scarves with flowers), I can only wear so…

Yarn Along
This morning when I woke up the air was crisp, I welcome break from the triple degree weather we had when we first moved here and the high 90s that have dogged us for the last few weeks. Can you tell I’m a sweater weather girl? I love my cardis, so warm and cozy, they are the grown up version of a snuggy. Wearing the same ol’ cardigans day in and day out can get a bit dull though, so I like to brighten them up with crocheted flower pins. I wear them in singles and in bunches. Sometimes they match my sweater, sometimes they just go with… Either way,…
