Coraline crochet doll with blue hair and yellow jacket, crochet designed by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Forgotten Crochet::

Do you ever make things, give them to someone, and then wish you had taken a photograph of them so you could remember them? I do. I often reflect on the many baby blankets, booties, hats, scarves, bags, baby toys and other goodies that I have made and never photographed. Recently I recalled a little amigurumi doll...

Pointillism Posie Blanket, home decor with large flower made in crochet motifs, crochet pattern by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Let's Twirl Blanket & Rug Ta-Dah::

I love the movie You've Got Mail--especially the part where Kathleen Kelly is describing a picture of her and her "enchanting" mother when she was a child. "We're twirling," she says. I used to do that a lot with my daughter when she was little. So, in honor of those wonderful memories...

Colorful Felted yarn-wrapped wreath with felted flowers and buttons, by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Designings of 2012::

What a year!! While on a little road trip with the family over New Years I spent some time pondering the happenings of the past year for me and my little family. Some very challenging things occurred. Some very significant lessons learned. Some exciting accomplishments. Life, well, moved on with force, as it always does. At times I was caught in the current.
