It’s the Little Things That Make Life BIG

Every once in a while, a simple moment can blossom into something truly extraordinary, filling our lives with immense meaning and joy. Eight years ago this month, I embarked on a delightful journey—designing a special crochet square inspired by my granddaughter, Lauren Rose. This venture has not only been a way to nurture my love for crochet but also a creative outlet that allows me to share joy with others.

To express my heartfelt gratitude to all who have been part of my journey, I’m excited to offer a little something back! You can snag one free crochet square pattern of your choice from my Ravelry shop. Just enter the coupon code ONEFREEPATTERN at checkout. Note that this offer is only available until the end of the day on February 5th and is limited to one pattern per person—so don’t miss out!

Each day, I count my blessings and feel a surge of gratitude for the joy and purpose that fill my life. Thank you for being a part of this adventure with me! 🙏
