Countdown Calendar: Trumpet
Growing up, Christmas was filled with wonderful Christmas music. My sister and I both play instruments so one of us could always be heard playing carols. The annual Christmas band concert was a highlight, especially when my sister played in her college symphony. I miss hearing her play, but we still have carols playing throughout […]
Free Pattern: Baby Groot Beanie
My friend asked me to make a baby groot beanie for her grandson.

Little projects like this are ones I like to keep on hand (or pinned). It makes a cute applique for beanies, headbands, hand towels, bags and more.
