Spring Leaves in the Air!

I can never really seem to get enough of leaves! Even when most people are sick of them by the end of autumn, I still love'm. The sound they make rustling in the wind, crunching under foot, the sent...especially eucalyptus. Maybe that why at this time of year when leaves can be scarce, I feel the need to incessantly make them. Spring isn't too far off, I can even see some buds, but if you can't wait either, why not wear them?

Short but Sweet

My recent pursuit ended almost as soon as it started. So I recently took up crocheting and once I began a project, it seemed impossible to put down, I was just too excited to see how it would turn out! Then my hand started aching, even when I wasn't crocheting, so I had to give it up, sigh.

At least there's tons of crocheting to admire on etsy, here's a few of my favs...
