FINALLY!!! I Can Crochet!

It only took 3 years to figure out how to crochet. :-)

I remember years ago trying my hand at this.  Crochet needle, yarn, and the whole process just didn't make sense.  Well, toward the end of last year, I really said to myself, "Margaret, you WILL learn to crochet!"

Well, after begging a friend to come over and take me through step by step how to do the 2nd row of links, things finally clicked!  Whoohoo!  A big hug to my faithful kaibigan (friend in Tagalog).

Below are the 1st two projects I tried.  Hubby is still waiting for his beanie.  Fun stuff!

Mia's 8th Birthday

Our little girl turned 8!  She enjoyed celebrating with family and friends at a gymnastics place. 

Her favorite things to do were the balance beam, foam pit, and eating pizza and ice cream cake after.
