    Hello Crafty Friends!


    Did you plant a garden this year? If so, how’s your garden growing?


    And, have you started a garden journal to track your progress?


    Sadly, I don’t have a garden this year. 🙁 But when I am actively gardening, I make garden journal pages to track what I’ve done and to keep to do lists on what needs to be done next. If this topic is interesting to you, you’re invited to check out more of my garden journal pages and read more about my process for making them.


    If you keep a garden journal, I’d love to know more about what you track in it and how it has helped you achieve your gardening goals. What do your garden journal pages look like? The floor is open for comments, so please feel free to ask questions or share insights in the comments area below.


    Thanks so much for visiting! We appreciate your presence here.

    A July Limerick, for Crafters in the USA*


    Our holiday in July’s on the Fourth.

    Freedom — priceless its worth.

    Let’s have fireworks and beer,

    Parades far and near,

    And picnics everywhere, from the south to the north.



    We crafters have other ways

    To spend our holidays.

    We stitch and create

    Even staying up late

    To work on our crafts and displays.


    DIY Jewelry for Fourth of July
    DIY Jewelry for Fourth of July


    In July, we celebrate Independence.

    To do so, we could crochet pendants

    In red, white and blue

    Or other colors too

    And we’ll make plenty more projects hence.


    *To those of you who are outside the USA, please feel free to re-color any of our Fourth of July projects into other colors — maybe your own country’s colors if you like, or whichever color combinations you prefer.


    Also, I invite everyone else to join in the limerick-writing fun, if you like. I’m writing these from my own limited experience, and since I have lived in the USA for most of my life, those are the experiences I have to draw on. I really don’t mean to exclude anyone, and would be happy to see family-friendly limericks from crocheters around the world expressing other viewpoints. Bonus points if they’re silly, tongue-in-cheek, and knitting or crochet-related, but they do have to stay family-friendly!
