World Wide Artist Blog Hop

Last week, Rebecca of Little Monkeys Crochet invited me to join in on the World Wide Artist Blog Hop! You can check out her post here.

I first met Rebecca when I offered to test one of her crochet patterns (review and link to patterns can be found here).  We worked really well together, to the point where I began to ask Rebecca more and more questions about building my blog.  She's been a great help and I'm thankful for her continued guidance, and hopefully, we will meet one day!

So, let's get started with the: The World Wide Artist Blog Hop

slightly slouchy beanie: FREE PATTERN

Disclosure: This page may contain affiliate links which help me with publishing this blog. If you decided to make a purchase, I will then make a small profit, at no extra cost to you.  Any yarn mentioned was bought with my own money and Lion Brand did not sponsor this post--I just genuinely love their yarn!

I once made a slouchy beanie, and just never liked the way it turned out--ever since then I have been on the hunt, and after finding this Lion Brand Tweed yarn in Acadia Tweed, I had the plan that I wanted to make this slightly slouchy beanie.  I say slightly, because after making it and putting it on, I realized the 'slouch' wasn't as slouchy as compared to other beanies, but I liked it.  Again, I am in love with this yarn--it's soft, it's colorful while still be neutral and matches with everything.  I can't wait for it to cool enough so I can wear this--I know I will definitely be using it for my trip to New Orleans next month!

Flower Patterns Round-Up

One of the first things I learned to make as a crocheter was a flower.  You could probably say that it was the item that started this whole thing.  So, when I decided that I wanted to do my very first pattern round up, I knew it was going to be about flowers.

For awhile I have been wanting to do a bit of a get to know me post, so here's what I've come up with! Enjoy!

My husband and I on our wedding day in 2011 :)

I am a Florida born and raised girl, now living in the Tampa Bay area with my husband, our daughter, Avery, and our cat, Casper.  Justin, my husband, and I have been married almost 4 years and this blog or my crocheting couldn't be possible without him as he supports me 100% in something I love to do!  Crochet is truly a hobby of mine that has turned into a small business.  I work for my husband and I's church Sunday through Thursday and I try to make as much time as possible to pick up my crochet hook and yarn!
