20 yrs ago, I watched my Aunt Debi pull a gorgeous blanket out of a tote and start stitching along. I fell in love, and, like the wonderful Aunt that she is, she handed it over, hook and yarn, and patiently taught me to crochet for the first time. We put in a lot of work on that blanket over the next few years, tucked it away for some and stitched away on it for others. When it was finally finished, having been worked on by every woman in my family, it was gifted to my Grandfather, and ultimately, buried with him. I've been talking about it for a while, and I even started one a few months ago, but yesterday, in honor of I Love Yarn Day 2019, I started fresh on a recreation of that blanket. The colors are a bit off, but as soon as I saw the dark yarn I knew it was the one. It FELT right. I was unbelievably excited about last nights stream. I've been unsatisfied with the yarn for this blanket for months. It just wasn't right. I sat with our stream community and chatted and worked on a blanket and got close to nothing done on it. Honestly, it was the best. The only thing that could have topped it, would have been sitting on Mama's couch tucked in next to my Aunt, my Mom and Mama chatting along, stitching together. Those are the memories tied to these stitches. That's what this blanket means to me. It's an homage to two of the loves of my life. It's a direct connection to my family. It's my heart strings. I'm already proud of it. I already love it. THAT'S why I crochet. That's why I love yarn. I can perfectly remember the sound of my Aunt's nails on her hook, the shape my Grandmother's hands make when they hold hers, my Mom fussing about not being able to crochet (there's nothing she can't do, don't let her fool you :P). I remember the pride in their eyes when it was finished and the worry and hope as we all worked on it in those ICU waiting rooms. It's my family, in every stitch. Happy I Love Yarn Day. Don't ever forget how blessed you are to share those moments with your family, to have them teach you. And if they can’t teach you, come my way and we’ll sit and stitch for a spell. #Iloveyarnday @craftyarncouncil #crochet #handmade #family #handmadehour

I decided to wait to post my stash picture until we’re moved into the new craft room, but oh how I enjoyed al of yours! In celebration of #iLoveYarnDay, we did a special Saturday stream and I started the recreation of my very first project!

Been working on rebranding @themommygamers #mixer and some goodies for @jaxboxchick #DLive channel and it’s been so fun! One of today’s projects is for her Martini Monday Patreon tier! Enjoying the extra boost from GFuel too! Pop over to her pages if you want to snag these exclusive rewards!

#ILoveYarnDay is this Saturday! We’ll be doing an extra special weekend stream to celebrate and talk about why crafting is so important to us. This gorgeous yarn wall is at our local @joann_stores and always looks lovely. And photos are by @smartasciigaming ! Buckle up buttercups! And get ready for all the yarn posts this week! @craftyarncouncil #yarnporn #makersgonnamake #maker #creativestreamer #twitchcreative

On tonight’s live stream of pretty good cooking Phil made some awesome cuban pork and I made a key lime pie tart from scratch! Its my first key lime pie and it came out fantastic. #HappyFloridian #FloridaGirl #keylimepie #tart #dessert #baking
