About Me!

Hi and welcome to my blog. I've just caught the crafting bug again and am starting to create new things to share. I will post my creations here and hope that you enjoy them. Crafting is such a relaxing thing for me. I can just get lost in it and lose all track of time. Lucky for me I have 4 angels (my kids) that bring me right back to reality.I love to think of things for the holidays to share and love learning new things as well. Please feel free to leave comments and share your thoughts.

Zig Zag Crochet


I love to create many things and this is one of my favorites!  I made this for my daughter who requested a pink, white and grey blanket.  I wasn't sure how the colors would turn out but as you can see, they go very well together!

I haven't crocheted in 30 years and only made one prior to this, last year.  It was just a basic baby blanket with no pattern.  I wanted to try this design again so I solicited the help of my aunt, who at 89 still dabbles in craft making and is one of the most talented women I know. 

With her help in understanding the crochet "language" I figured out how to do this.  I had to take it apart many times, (more times than I would have liked) but I wanted it to be done right!  Finally, last night I finished it and couldn't be more pleased at the outcome. 

I can't wait to start my next one and share it with you all!
