Bear's Birthday!

Today my little sister Bear is turning 18!

It feels incredibly weird to realize that my sisters and I are all officially adults.

This year Bear will start college and begin to have lots of new experiences and I will have to learn to step back and let her go.

She has really become a stunning, intelligent young woman and I am a very proud older sister!

So to mark the end of her childhood and the start of the rest of her life I made her a teddy bear :)

This is the pattern I used, and it worked wonderfully! I did add the embellishments from my imagination, but I would highly suggest it this pattern!

Happy Spring Break (?)

Ta-dah!

I finally completed one of my to-do projects today!

Using some fabulous new colors I got off on Knit Picks 

I made Lemur a set of coasters for her apartment.

I used a variety of different patterns so I pinned them all to my Pinterest crochet board for your enjoyment

Happy crocheting from a very snowy Virginia!

Cheers,

Cristyn

Where HAVE You Been!

That, my dear friends, is an excellent question.

I've been studying, studying a lot!

(Being an Anthropology/Middle Eastern studies double major is even harder than it sounds!)

I've been coughing and sleeping far to much

I've been thrifting

and drinking tea tea tea!

I've not been crocheting very much at all

(so I did this just to prove I still could!)

Though I've been playing with colors!

I've been packing for home

and waiting for Spring to finally arrive.

I've been planning adventures.

I've been applying for internships.

I've been watching the steady pace of my blog visitors rise!

And most importantly I've been sick and away and am glad to be back!

Cheers,
Cristyn
