Summer is definitely in full swing here!

Choosing how to spend my time gets increasingly hard since the river is coming down, L-man wants to camp, and I have to have my daily sewing/crochet/craft time.
So off I go, to take a blog break for a few weeks.
I will, however, be doing a guest post over at Stash Manicure this Thursday the 8th, so pop on over to check it out then!
I hope each and every one of you are having the best summer (or winter!) ever!
See you in a few weeks.

Have a blast on your break! By the time you're back, I should be on US soil. We're getting so excited! By the way, what is this beautiful "sneak peek"? I love the design and colors.

Loved your post at stash manicure. I really like your idea for the ticker tape quilt. This crochet is lovely. I love all the colors and they go together so wonderfully.

Hello Penny,
I've been following you and love most of your creative work (though I am quite slow and not so serious maybe). I definitely have some of your stuff that i want to 'copy' and will surely post it when done {when? :-)}. Pls allow me to put you in my link.
Thank you & have a great day off

Love the colors of your ripple! Super cute~!

How does one crochet those ripples? I can crochet, but not sure how to do those ripples. I would love to do a baby blanket with those ripples.
