Hellooooooo blog friends!
Things have been kind of quiet here this week. I’ve been focusing on a to-do list that didn’t involve much blogging time. In my spare moments, I’ve had two crochet projects going, and I’m looking forward to telling you about them next week.
There’s a lot of pink and gold in this week’s mosaic. Springy!

Hi….this is a fun feature of your blog thank you for sharing. Number 10 of the mosaic isnt working, wasnt sure if you were aware.
Looks like she must have removed that image and replaced it later. Here is another link to it: https://www.flickr.com/photos/annamariahorner/13469737094/
Glad you’re enjoying the Weekend Favorites 🙂
Wow! I love your blog. I stumbled upon it this morning and have since added it to my ‘bookmarks’. I am inspired by your weekly mosaic postings! Following your tutorial, I think my next afghan will be a hexagon!!
So glad you dropped by! I definitely enjoyed making the hexagon blanket. I hope you try it!
