Hey Reader,

I hope you're having a lovely Friday so far!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes last week! I had a really great weekend and I hope you did too.

We got cupcakes and cookies, my husband made fajitas (my favorite!) and it was just a really great time.

This week I've been back at work and I am super excited for today's video and blog post.

I made some updates to the super popular crochet bandana pattern on my site and channel, and it turned out so good!

This pattern has been super popular, and now it's even better than before!

You gotta love a Macrame Mandala

This mandala wall hanging has always been one of my favorites.

Yesterday, I got it down and gave the fringe a good brushing. It gets a little disheveled after a while.

I think it looks cute on this weird little section of wall above my office area.

There used to be a wall separating the living room from the dining room area (which is now my office), but now there's just a little mini wall on at the top, and then it's open under that.

Have you ever tried making one of these?

Punch Needle is back (did it ever leave?)

If you've been around my neck of the woods for a while, you probably know that a few years ago I was quite into punch needle.

Then, let me be real honest, I got burned out with it. 😅

But I'm still a huge fan, and I always see cool punch needle things online and in my awesome punch needle Facebook group that people are creating, and I'm starting to feel that inspiration come back.

I've been itching to really get into more fiber artsy projects, with macrame, punch needle, crochet, and even weaving, knitting and embroidery.

If you are new to punch needle and want to know how it works, I have 2 different tutorials that will get you started.

And I'm thinking there will be more coming soon, mixed in with everything else. 🤓

That's it for today, my friend- I hope you have a lovely weekend and I'll talk to you again soon--
