What are you here for? Do you want to see crochet? I got that. Want to see more homesteading? I got that too. Instagram is where you are most likely to find me.

Cheeecccck it out! I'm back! Did a little overhaul on my Poppy pattern. I felt like the 3-color palette was a little much and switched to 2 nice neutrals. What do you think? I need some help friends! I am working on the colors for my next granny square. These samples are half done and I am debating about which one I like better. What do you all think? Dark center or light center? New pattern! If you guys didn't know it, #poppyseedpattern is now available on my Etsy. The link in my bio takes you straight to my store. Also, I am thinking of making a little shawl for my toddler out of this square. What do you think? Would you want to see that? Sure I love squares, but my first love is mandala blankets. Huge, repetitive, colorful, beautiful. I could do these these hours, and I often do. This one is Suna Mandara by @wigglestick_designs If you aren't familiar with her work then you need to drop everything and go check out her account. I absolutely love everything she does. When I started writing patterns I was not prepared for how many times I would be frogging my squares and starting over. It's a good thing I enjoy this or else we would have a problem. Good evening friends! This is a new pattern that I'll be releasing shortly. Stay tuned!

My very first bundle of lavender. It is tiny and I love it. We had a surprise trip to the Eastern Shore last month and I've finally finished going through all the photos. Be prepared for lots of sunsets and garden pics. Harvesting some more elderberries this morning. This plant has blooms and fruit on it at the same time. Next year should be amazing. This is me trying to model. Seriously I looked up YouTube videos on how to do it and everything. It is weirdly vulnerable to be so thoughtful and intentional in front of the camera. Usually I just go for smile, hand on hip, and head tilt. Anyway, here I am, doing something very out of character. Also, I grew those sunflower heads. Got a surprise trip to the beach. Snapped this. Okay, I swear this is really last photo from TN. I want to go back. That Itty bitty smudge on my shirt is sweat from carrying that baby the whole way. Great views, lots of humidity. Visiting the King Under the Mountain in @seerockcity Our visit wasn't nearly long enough. This week's summer bouquet. Sunflower, zinnia, hyssop, and susans. Such rich color.
