Fall Seasonal Decor lends itself to a myriad of amazing, deep, pure and gorgeous colors. I love working on Fall projects - from blankets, hats, scarves, mittens to seasonal holiday decor - I love it all.
In the coming months, I'm hoping to do more tutorials from the basics of Crocheting to some great projects I'm working on. I hope you will stop by, visit awhile and enjoy this journey with me...
