Hello Reader 💕🌸

We were blessed to be able to see the Northern Lights for the very first time in person - it was so special and breathtaking! This was the view from our Kansas back deck 😍 It was such a serene moment and I am so grateful we were able to experience it.

The Mini Christmas Appliqué Crochet-Along is going strong after releasing the Snowman Appliqué and the Gingerbread Man! Today Santa Claus joins the merry crew as a free crochet pattern.

I am participating in Underground Crafter's Holiday Stashdown CAL and I have a brand new pattern available - the Christmas Lights Headband! This adorable and quick headband is festive and fun - perfect for gifts!

I have a special surprise for you! I will be live with my designer friend Elise of Elise Rose Crochet on YouTube Friday 11/21 (tomorrow!) at 6 pm EST. We will be chatting about all things crochet! Link to live video on YouTube:
