Christmas gifts

One thing I do to relax is crochet. I picked it up a couple years ago because I wanted to have dish scrubbers for my kitchen. I moved on to scarves, beanies, ear warmers, and have recently started making blankets. I love the feeling of a crochet blanket, although I still haven't made one for myself. They all have been given away as gifts. I do have a a few patterns I want for myself, but Christmas is coming up so I'm working on Christmas gifts right now. Right now I'm working on a blanket that I love, the Snowbound Throw. I changed the measurements to make it larger and able to be cuddled in more. I have made this in ivory and buttercream but I'm loving it in Ocean. I used, of course, Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn and it feels like butter as I'm working with it. I look forward to showing you the finished product. 💙

Mini washcloth

I have been trying to make sure I am doing better at taking care of me, so that includes washing my face. I am using a new program to get rid of the dark spits I gave starting and decided I needed a small washcloth to use that would be perfect for just my face. So I created the mini washcloth. It's perfect to wash my face and try to stop the aging. 😉 I am also making them for Christmas gifts. Enjoy!
