This is me! On my way to blog in a coffee shop! I generally like to get out of the house when I blog and it's a great excuse to have a yummy caffeinated beverage. However a lot of post are also written late at night after my children are fast asleep and I have finished everything else that needs to be done. Hello everyone!!! I am so excited to announce that I will be creating a display to enter into a county fair contest. My display will be 3ft tall and 4 ft wide and 2 ft deep!!! The theme is Home Sweet Home so I will be having a white picket fence made out of foam core board and I will be attaching crochet flowers and insect from around the world to it.  It will also have a crochet home sweet home sign!

However I wanted to also do my own thing. To me when I thin...
