They set up gorgeous garden displays  and offer classes to teach and inspire the gardener of all levels. They even have a snack shop set up like a sidewalk cafe where you can enjoy coffee, pastry or other light snack, surrounded by the beauty of the … [Read more...] about Crochet Finds – Spring Garden Color Inspiration

So, I was thrilled when Leisure Arts gave me the opportunity to review 99 Crochet Post Stitches by Darla Sims. This … [Read more...] about Friday Finds – 99 Crochet Post Stitches & Giveaway!
Friday Finds – Red Heart Soft Essentials Yarn
 I have long been a fan of Red Heart Soft yarn.

This makes it perfect for so many different projects from baby items to fashion accessories. It has a lovely sheen and soft drape with a rich, cozy feel. The … [Read more...] about Friday Finds – Red Heart Soft Essentials Yarn
