Changes for the New Year

After much consideration, I've decided that my blog shouldn't just be crochet. I love the crochet, but there are other crafts at which I am equally talented. Among them are cross stitch and sewing. I look forward to sharing more projects and finds as I engage in my crafts.

First Completed Project for the New Year

This is one that I created the color and layout of using a motif I found in a book of pattern stitches that I have. (Whereabouts of book currently unknown and I don't remember the exact title. I will post further info when I figure out where I've put the book.) I'm giving it as a gift for the new grandchild of a dear friend. I do hope they like it. I liked how the edges came out because of the hexagons. I might need to try it again and do some kind of border around the edges to see if it adds anything special.
