Weekend Show Off 3-15-12

Welcome to the Weekend!

Sorry I am late, I spent the day saying Goodbye to a wonderful Lady.  My husbands Grandmother, and our next door neighbor passed away.

She truly is a special lady, and we had wonderful day celebrating her life, and visiting family. I know that she is now with her sweetheart, and her son she lost long ago.  We will meet again someday, of that I have no doubt.

Now onto the Party, I am so excited to introduce Kara of Petals and Picots.  Kara makes me want to learn how to Crochet, she has some amazing projects!

I am so excited to be featured as the blog of the week for Ladybird Ln!! For those of you who do not know me, my name is Kara. I am a wife, mommy, and a confessed yarnie. In my free time (ha-ha) I work as a freelance writer and editor to support my yarn addiction. My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was 9 years old, and I have been crocheting ever since. From trying new patterns to designing my own, I always have a crochet project stashed in my bag.

I wanted to combine my love of writing with my love of crochet, so I started a blog is called Petals to Picots. My vision for my blog is to help share my love of crochet by providing crochet tutorials and resources, free patterns, reviews of related books and products, unique and classic crocheted creations, and a forum for crafters to share their projects, ideas, and techniques.

Below is a little sampling of some of the patterns and tutorials that are available on my blog.  I hope you stop by and say hi and come check out my blog!
