Space Cadet

Sometimes things get really crazy and I totally space out things I want to do ... like my new goal of posting something new every other week. Oops!

Next week is Spring Break and I have high hopes on what I'll accomplish. Maybe I'll get somewhere near my expectations and get a dang pattern posted! >.<

Later.

New Goal

I'm excited because I've decided my new goal is to post something new every other week. It's about time, too! I've had this blog since 2011. It's not that I've been lazy, I just like to plan more things in a day than there are hours. I'm sure you crafters out there know what I'm talking about.

My plan for this blog is to post craft tips, patterns and inspiration. For my debut, I think I shall post my crochet pattern for an apple cozy. Lets hope this happens and I get some followers. Stay tuned!
