Life is like crochet

One of my hobbies is crocheting. I love to crochet. I enjoy making pretty and sometimes functional things, and I find the challenge of figuring out a pattern and learning new stitches fun!

So I sleep with toys. Many people think this is a sign of weakness or immaturity, probably because they don't care … Continue reading Searching For Grace →
