Hi friends,

Another year has flown by!! The time passes so quickly and it’s fun to look back on the year to remember all that happened. I was busy creating fun things to share with you, along with all the other things we all have to get done. 😉 I love making fun and pretty things to give as gifts, to decorate my home, and to inspire creativity in all of you. 🙂 I hope you have found a thing or two this past year to recreate and make your own by adding your personal touch.

I created 18 new crochet patterns in 2023! These are just a few of my favorites. I also crocheted some fun projects from other great designers. If you’re like me, there are so many great patterns available that there will never be enough time to stitch up all of them!! 🙂 Type the word “crochet” in the search bar on the right and you’ll find tons of inspiration for your next crochet project.

Card making will always be one of my favorite creative outlets. The possibilities are endless! Here are just a few I created in 2023. You’ll find lots more ideas by searching the word “card”.

Crafting and creating decor for my home or to give as gifts is so fun! I have lots of great projects for all the different holidays that I created last year. Here are a few that I love.

I also like to share a recipe that I’ve tried every now and then. Here are a few I shared in 2023. You can search “recipe” to find some tasty veggie, main dish, and dessert recipes.

By far the highlight of our year was our trip to Scotland! It has been on my bucket list for years and we finally got to go last April. These are a few of my favorite photos – although it was really hard to choose just a few. Scotland is absolutely beautiful!! I’ve shared more in a few blog posts. I’ve linked them below…

Thank you for following along in 2023 and I hope you’ll continue along with me in 2024! I’ll be making lots of cards – including a new Christmas card design each month – more crafty projects, new crochet patterns and crochet projects from other great designers. I’ll be sharing new recipes I’ve tried and hopefully a post or two about any travels we are fortunate enough to take.

Looking forward to a creative 2024!
