Infinity Scarf DIY {On the Hook}
I love mustard. Not the condiment, the color. Well, no, I like the condiment too but this isn’t a food post. That’s coming on Thursday, so stick around. Hint: it involves potatoes, corn and shrimp… Anyway, back to the scarf, I’ve been seeing mustard colored clothing and accessories everywhere, yet it was lacking in my wardrobe. Then I remembered this beautiful golden mustard colored yarn I had tucked away and instant happiness was upon me. It took me about three days to whip up this lacy scarf.

Retro Baby Blanket {On the Hook}

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,…
