We will be posting here more frequently and hopefully start adding links, and more info as we go. I am new to blogging. But, if anyone has any news in the paper crafting industry, email it to me, I will post it here with a link to your website, OR your email address or whatever you like. I am looking for a good blogging team. If you would like to volunteer, I would love to have you!

My first real hobby was crochet. I almost 30 years ago while helping to take care of my Grandmother-in-Law. She was a crocheter and was in awe of the size 12 steel crochet hook and thread she used to create beautiful rose doilies. Since then I've made baby blankets, afghans, doilies, table cloths, and so many more projects. I love yarn and fibers! Years ago I found a pattern in a magazine that was so beautiful! It was an afghan that looked like a quilt. I made one and started another. But, the pattern disappeared and I have no idea where it went. I have a partially finished project, and I probably can't even get the yarn anymore. But I decided it was a nice enough pattern I would take some pictures and post the unfinished project. I love this afghan! I plan to write up a pattern here soon. Anyway, this is what it looks like:








if anyone recognizes this pattern and wants to Leave a comment as to who it belongs to, or where it came from, I'd be very grateful!
