New

Time flies. No posts for 5 years Time to start anew. HOPEFULLY! Pictures later, maybe.

Hi Everyone, I am in the process of updating my blog. It has been so long since i have done anything with it. I am starting an Etsy shop for my crochet items and thought i would add some new links to places i like to visit. I need to update my pin it button because the old one isn't working. So if you are following me for paper crafting there will not be a lot of it on here. Sorry. Just branching out into something different that i love. So be patient and i will post some new items i have been working on. Have a great day. The Yarn Knotter!!!
