Hey there, friends!

Can you believe how fast May flew by? It feels like I blinked and suddenly we’re heading into summer! Between sunny days and hook-filled evenings, I’ve been busy stitching up a storm, and I’ve got some fun things to share with you.

Let’s start with my temperature blanket squares – they look amazing! With the seasons shifting, my color palette is expanding by the day. I love how each square captures the mood of the weather, and it’s so cool to see how different this year looks from a few years ago. Check out my blocks from May 2020 and 2025, can you spot all the differences?

I started a project to take on my adventure in May thinking I’d have all sorts of relaxing down time! LOL! I was busier than expected but I did enjoy a little bit of crochet time while being away. I didn’t make much progress, but here’s a sneak peek at what I’m working on.

Now for something a little different – amigurumi! I’ve been eyeing all those adorable plushies for ages and finally gave it a go. My first project was a Loaf Cat made with a pattern I purchased from Annie Carraway Art. He turned out so cute, I decided to use worsted weight yarn instead of blanket yarn to make another one. They are both adorable!

I made a sweet little polar bear using a pattern from Knotted Loveys by Mama Made Minis (it was meant to be a panda, but I decided to keep it one color). I think he turned out pretty cute, don’t you?

Oh, and here’s a fun one – my step-daughter asked if I could crochet her a “Happy Pill.” I browsed a few free patterns, mixed and matched some ideas, and came up with my own version. It’s such a cheerful little project, and I had a blast making it!

Thanks so much for dropping by and hanging out with me for a bit. I love sharing these little yarny adventures with you. Now I want to hear from YOU—what have you been making lately? Drop a comment below or come say hi over on Facebook. I’d love to see your latest creations!

Until next time,
