A Family Christmas of Handmade Gifts 2018

A personal Christmas gift

Crochet Christmas 2018
This past year, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on life, trying to figure out where I fit in and what my purpose is.  I think we all go through that process from time to time and it's a good time to look at what we've been blessed with, appreciate what we have and think about how we can be better. 

Last Christmas, I watched as my sister and her family all struggled with the thought of losing her brother in law.  He was in his 30's and had been diagnosed with cancer.  They weren't sure if he would make it through Christmas and it was such a hard and sad time for them.  My heart hurt for all of them!  He was married and had a teenage daughter and some younger kids.  I can't imagine the heartache and emotions they were dealing with.
He was determined not to let it get him down and pushed through for his family until after the first of the year.

December's new crochet pattern releases

Pebbled Archway Reversible Home Decor crochet pattern collection
The new Pebbled Archway Reversible home decor crochet pattern collection has quickly become another one of my favorites.  I love the feeling you get when you walk in a room and see a comforting afghan placed across a couch.  It's even more wonderful with coordinating pillows!  What could make it even better?  How about all of the pieces being reversible?

Each week through the month of December, I'm releasing 1 crochet pattern from this set. The Pebbled Archway  Reversible Bolster Pillow crochet pattern was released last week and can be found HERE on my website.  This week, is the Pebbled Archway Reversible Throw crochet pattern.  This is such a great way to add a splash of color to any room!  I hope you'll enjoy laying with color and working up this collection as much as I did.

    Hey there!  Thank you for joining my blog here at Crafting Friends Designs. Grab your hook, some yarn and get comfy as we crochet some fun, unique and beautiful projects together.  
    I'm Kate and crochet is my passion.  I've been crocheting for 30+ years and as you can see from the selection of designs on my site, blankets are my obsession.  I absolutely love creating something that will wrap my love around friends and family when they're in need of comfort. 
    Having 4 beautiful girls of my own has also inspired many infant, toddler and child size dresses.  They are my biggest cheerleaders and have enjoyed wearing the things I've made them.  

    ​If you love what you see, please leave a comment and let me know!
