New Year, New Directions

Standard

Gonna let the blog go dark for awhile. (Apologies to all 2 or 3 of you who check it regularly.) I’ve had my hands so full with other stuff that I just don’t have the attention to keep up here, too. There’ll come a time when crochet and knitting will be my prime focus, and I’ll turn the lights on again.

Until then, just remember…

A house is not a home... until there is yarn stashed virtually everywhere!
