Hey there, friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you believe how fast May flew by? It feels like I blinked and suddenly we\u2019re heading into summer! Between sunny days and hook-filled evenings, I\u2019ve been busy stitching up a storm, and I\u2019ve got some fun things to share with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with my temperature blanket squares – they look amazing<\/em>! 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\u2019s 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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started a project to take on my adventure in May thinking I\u2019d 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\u2019t make much progress, but here\u2019s a sneak peek at what I\u2019m working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for something a little different – amigurumi! I\u2019ve 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<\/a><\/em>. He turned out so cute, I decided to use worsted weight yarn instead of blanket yarn to make another one. They are both adorable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a sweet little polar bear using a pattern from Knotted Loveys by Mama Made Minis<\/a> <\/em>(it was meant to be a panda, but I decided to keep it one color). I think he turned out pretty cute, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and here\u2019s a fun one – my step-daughter asked if I could crochet her a \u201cHappy Pill.\u201d I browsed a few free patterns, mixed and matched some ideas, and came up with my own version. It\u2019s such a cheerful little project, and I had a blast making it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2014what have you been making lately? Drop a comment below or come say hi over on Facebook. I\u2019d love to see your latest creations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time,
