So I have attempted starting a blog a few times before but some sort of hiccup would usually happen and I'd end up giving up. But not this time, I dug my heels in and stuck with it, even teaching myself some basic HTML coding (which sure isn't easy when your keyboard is starting to crap out). Now things are just the way I like it and I am excited to start sharing some of my crafts and ideas.
OK, so I know it's not really "crafty" in the traditional sense, but I thought I'd share one of my go-to recipes today. The afghan pattern I am creating and wanted to share is not quite ready. But stay tuned, it should be done in a matter of days!
