Fishing for Rainbow Trout
A beginner friendly crochet pattern I have a love of Toy making. As a mom, when birthdays and Christmas time were on their way, I would spend hours thinking of something unique and special that I could make for each of my three little ones. As they grew, I began to teach them to crochet too and found that they loved to learn and work on projects too. I have loved these moments so much with each of my kids that it’s a dream of mine to create a series of patterns appropriate for little hands and fingers with beginner stitches and (hopefully) easy to follow design patterns. This crochet…

Make Lemonade!
There are likely few dreams as big as those of a tiny entrepreneur sitting behind a lemonade stand. The ideas of production and advertising seem to grow larger than life along with the list of summer luxuries that might come with “making it big” from lemonade sales. Pool passes, soda, candy, carnival, and movie tickets, fireworks! The possibilities seem almost endless. It seems that it can’t really be summer if one of my children doesn’t ask me, “Can we make some lemonade?” In recognition of the the hard work that goes into any big dream and the hope that we all might take a moment to stop at a roadside…

Carpay the Stripe Fish
A Beginner Friendly Pattern Last October, I got to make a checkmark on a bucket list item that I had always wanted to complete. My three kids were finally old enough that my husband and I felt safe taking them to the ocean to snorkel. They were afraid that we might encounter sharks, electric eels, and Tsunamis in the ocean near Cozumel but when we arrived, they carefully slid into the water. Courageously, they set their goggles firmly on their little faces and put the snorkels in their mouths. Timidly, they put their faces in the water for that first, captivating look. And then there was no turning back. Visiting…
