Made my first Callie the Cow! She's adorable at this mini size, achieved using Loops & Threads Petite Purl yarn. I made a few mistakes along the way so this particular baby will be passed along to someone I know, but I look forward to making more in the near future. I'm thinking...pink!

It's been a very busy year but I'm glad to say I'll be offering a few items for sale at Welch Farm during their Wild Blueberry Weekend event! You can usually find me on the belt picking over the fresh pack blueberries or crocheting away during my breaks!

🎉 We're BACK for our fourth annual Wild Blueberry Weekend 🫐 Only 2 more days! We are so excited to be hosting again this year!

This year, not only will you find Wild Blueberries but also Lobster and Clams. Some of our fellow firefighters will be cooking lobsters and clams. $10.00 a lobster or for a plate of clams, your choice. Profits will go to benefit a local fire department.
Shop with some local vendors in between tours of the farm. A showing of the documentary 'Growing Wild' will take place at 1 p.m. both Saturday August 3 and Sunday August 4.
Also don't miss our Sunrise Blessing happening on Sunday August 4 at 5:15 a.m.
Don't miss out on this unforgettable weekend full of fun, food, and wild blueberries. Visit to learn more about and Eat. Drink. Experience all things wild blues.

My current read! I've had this book a while and finally decided to crack it open. It's been a great source to finally start my first commonplace book as well. Any read it?

My birthday was a couple days ago, so I have done next to no crafting! Instead I have focused on my mental health and spending time with my two favorite humans. My husband has the day off tomorrow so we will be catching up on some housework and preparing for my best friend to come visit us for a week. Stay busy guys! I know I will 😅

I've decided to participate in Crochet Cancer Challenge 2023! Each day, a unique designer offers a hat pattern to download for free with the pledge of creating at least one hat made with the pattern to donate to a local cancer center. This is Connie's Comfort Beanie by sweet potato 3 which was available to download Monday.

The last two weeks have been flying by as we get prepared for the craft fair tomorrow! Memory Designs By Patti and I were doing practice set ups yesterday and today, so I grabbed a couple pics.

My new Fall Leaves Coaster Set is done! I'm working on making a few sets for the upcoming craft fair but they are also available as made-to-order on my new Etsy. I absolutely loved creating this pattern, even though it took me a few tries to get it just right.

You can check out the listing directly through this link!

Here's the new Fall Leaf Coaster design to go with the new Alpine Hotpad! This is the bright red version, but yellow, orange, and green are also in the works. I'm still on the fence about whether I will offer these in pairs like I do my other coasters, or as sets of 4 with one of each color. Any thoughts?
