I hope everyone has had a good week.

I've put aside the sweater. It's not going in the projects from hell box but I'm taking a break to start something exciting. Do you remember that beautiful Orchid Malabrigo wool I purchased? I've decided it needs to become a sweet dress and hat for my soon to be granddaughter. I will post on that later.

Congratulations to @earthmother, @vliet and @carolinacardoza for winning the #ultimatecrochetcontest! I look forward to @foxyspirit and @anjkara's next contest. What a great way to get to know fellow crocheters!

Sunsets Rock! ( Latest stone art)

I first saw @poeticsnake's painted rocks at the Creatives' Coffee Hour on Monday and I was dazzled. Such a multi-talented Lady! Snekky (@poeticsnake) has shared with us how she painted a sunset scene and made it look easy. It's well written, detailed post. Thanks Snekky!

Origami lessons – The Tetrahedron ::

@holgerwerner works at a school where they teach Origami to the children. It's calming and helps them focus. This post is detailed with photos clearly showing each step to build our own tetrahedron. I'm definitely going to try this! Thanks @holgerwerner!
