Oh my gosh, you guys…I’m so thrilled with how this Pumpkin Pillow came out! And the funny thing is that when I first sat down to design the graph, I intended for the pattern to be another hand towel. Well, guess what…I made it too large. It could have been a bath towel for how large it was!

Hey there everyone!

I’ve always considered Memorial Day to be the official kickoff to summer. School is almost out for my kiddos and it’s actually been hot here in Pennsylvania…like sweat dripping off your nose hot.

Hey there!

Spring is just around the corner and I cannot wait! St. Patrick’s Day seems to be a confirmation that, yes, indeed, winter is coming to a close and there is a light at the end of this frigid tunnel.

But, besides that, who doesn’t love St. Patrick’s Day? Ireland — beautiful. Luck — everyone can use that. Gold — wish I had some. Green beer — well…I don’t know about that one. 😛
