I know you’ve all been on the edge of your seats waiting for the next installment of the Heidi and Rah-Rah saga. You’ve probably been wondering if we were ever coming back–if we’d given up on our endeavor. Alas, we’re back! Why the delay? Life. As the school year comes to a close for both… Continue reading The Tortoise and the Hare
I have a new best friend. This friend promises to keep me out of messes and awful tangles. This friend endeavors to keep me in line. Now, our friendship is new, so I still have to figure out exactly well we work together, but I am definitely smitten. Who is this friend? It’s my Yarn… Continue reading A Yarn Miracle
This day has been two years in the making. Two years ago, I published the first pattern in the Spring Blossoms Pattern set, and today, I finished the last. The Spring Peony Blanket Pattern is now live and for sale on my Etsy shop. Not only that, but you can instead choose to purchase a… Continue reading Spring Peony Blanket and Spring Blossoms Bundle (Paid Pattern)
In our homeschool co-op, my children learn a thirteen minute timeline from Creation to the present day. They are taught that they are an imperative part of that narrative. Each venture we pursue and each endeavor we achieve forms a part of our timeline. This is my crochet timeline. As a young child, my mother… Continue reading My Crochet Timeline
In the words of Mr. T, “I pity the fool.” Well, I would pity him if the joke had been not to release block seven on April Fools Day. But it was released and aptly named. The All Fool’s Day Square by Carolyn Christmas on Pink Mambo was a welcome diversion to would be pranksters… Continue reading Fools and Frogs: Moogly CAL Block #7

I know, right? We had this plan, and then….and then…no excuses. So this is the post for… Continue reading Chugging Along and Crocheting Along
I heard the statement lately (somewhere on the Internet, source unverified) that the expected pandemic baby boom had not happened. That’s not what I see from my point of view. In my small homeschool community group I have five pregnant mamas! Five! Well, currently four as the first of the babies has already arrived. We… Continue reading Baby Boom (Part 1)
When we saw Block #4 for the 2021 Moogly CAL, both Rah-Rah and I thought we had it made in the shade. A simple chevron pattern, how hard could this be? (Cue music from The Lorax…) The Block is Diagonal Chevrons by A Crocheted Simplicity. I don’t usually have much problem with new squares, but… Continue reading Looks Can Be Deceiving
You are all probably familiar with that moment. You take the training wheels off your kid’s bike, tell them they can do it, and they pedal a few times before…they run into a tree. This week, I took Rah-Rah’s training wheels off. I wouldn’t say she ran into a tree…but we might need to put… Continue reading A Crochet Savant
Ever two weeks. That’s when the squares of the 2020 Moogly CAL come out. Though this is my 6th year doing the CAL, it’s my friend Rah-Rah’s first. So, we decided to crochet together. You can read about that here. The Score Rah-Rah and I are currently tied at 2-2. The first square was a… Continue reading On Saturday We Crochet
