Take a Seat


Thank goodness the holidays are over! Normally I'm not a scrooge but this year was difficult since I went back to school. Any family that is living on one income is a miracle as far as I can see! Since I am a starving student I decided to save money and make a few gifts. I didn't realize that I would start a hobby that I couldn't resist- Crochet!

My grandmother crocheted as I was growing up and she could make just about anything. In fact she made this pin cushion for me when I was about 8. I told her I wanted one for my Barbie dolls- LOL. Little did I know-after she passed away- I would become addicted to this wonderful art. I have looked everywhere for a pin cushion pattern like this but can't find one anywhere! So in honor of her-I now use it for it's intended purpose and have begun to crochet.

I will be sharing projects and problems I encounter along the way. Please feel free to share advice and your projects too!
