Continuing to Practice
Hello! I have not been as motivated lately to crochet. I think that’s due to the excitement of the new wheel. So, I figured I’d just take this time to spin away. I have also completed a small duplicate stitch project, and my 2nd cross stitch. The cross stitch was a much larger project than…
