A chat with my older daughter the other day had me really thinking about my crochet and knit that I do. How I love it. How doing it calms me, most of the time. Seeing my grandson smile when I give him a silly little turtle I crocheted ‘just because’. My friends and family using… Continue reading Did I just make a family heirloom?
