Coming REALLY soon:

2010 Snowflake Pattern


I'm sorry it's so late this year.

I try to make at least 1 free snowflake every year.
I'll also post the 2009 Snowflake for anyone that missed it.

If it's not up later today it'll be tomorrow.
(God-willing)

Thank you guys for putting up with my way to far-in-between posts.

Hopefully, I'll be posting regularly again after the holidays.

Happy Winter

This page is way too much fun!

I miss snow!



I haven't been crocheting a whole lot lately.
Right now I'm doing the mad rush for Christmas.

Hopefully when things slow down a little
I'll get back to blogging.
