Sweet Gift From Carol
A sweet gift from a wickedly funny lady in our knitting group. I'm sharing my public thank you and what I think is the cutest fashion show ever.
Here’s where I share those projects that I’m working on. Some will later become free patterns here on TheCraftyTipster.com, others may turn into those sorts of ideas that get left behind in the work room. You’ll also find posts on crafting tips, bargain hunting and other assorted craft-related topics. I guess you could call this section my version of all those posts that don’t generally fit somewhere else on the site.
