Hello Reader 💕🌸

The summer is zooming by so quickly! I went shopping the other day and the stores are already full of back-to-school supplies and Halloween decor. I am NOT ready. 😬

We headed to the beach last weekend — can I call it a beach in Kansas?? It was a lot of fun and no one got too sunburned, which felt like a win.

Speaking of sun protection — I'm so excited to announce that the Turtle Bucket Hat has been released today, and it's the final free pattern in the Summer Kids' Bucket Hat Collection! Funny enough, this little guy was actually the inspiration behind the whole series.

Next week I'm making a big pivot to Christmas — I'll be releasing my addition to Christmas in July with Underground Crafter. It's quick, it's cute, and you won't want to miss it!

Have a wonderful weekend and happy crocheting 💕
