Crocheting and warmer weather just belong together Crocheting and warmer weather just belong together.

I have been trying so hard to enjoy the small moments of warmth and the new life spring always brings. But just like flowers, it seems like it has taken me a little longer to bloom this year too.

We are well into spring but new beginnings can always be started. If you are looking for new ways to bring mindfulness into your crochet routine, I have a blog for that. Box breathing, grounding outside, and a few other little tricks ๐Ÿ’›

One big project, done. This was by far the bigges One big project, done.

This was by far the biggest thing I have ever made. Not perfect, but I am so proud of the progress and the commitment it took to show up for it every single day.

Not all my years have been bright. But taking a moment to sit with all the bright ones from 2025 taught me something I really needed to learn.
I am so grateful for that. And I have grown so much through it. I'm still growing. 

I hope you enjoyed following along. If you want to make something like this for yourself, I have a blog up walking through how I built it and how I kept track. Link in bio ๐Ÿ’›
