I've not been well the past few months (not to worry you, all is on the mend) and one thing that helps me mentally is "Craft Therapy". Crocheting is my comfort craft, when I crochet I feel better. So to feel better, I crochet.
I'm enjoying quick gratification when I crochet at the moment and these Coffee Cozies are just the thing.

Long time, no posts. I know! Life, it's been crazy, you know? Never to busy to crochet though, it's my therapy. That and some nice cold iced coffee.
A couple of months ago, a bestie posted a link on Facebook for a cute crochet market bag. I'd forgotten all about it, and we were texting and I asked her "I need a new crochet project, the afghan I'm working on is getting boring". She said "Mrs Britshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01455336343430614313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6639789720365524674.post-8102497350081399922013-10-16T14:29:00.004-06:002019-11-16T10:29:12.686-07:00Ribbed Coffee Cozy {Crochet Pattern}We've established my love for coffee, but coffee is hot, yo!

I had the pleasure of making this for my friend Corrina's newest addition, Miss Alana. If you're looking for an easy crochet baby afghan pattern that works up quick, and turns out lush and soft, then this is the pattern for you.
I used Bernat Baby Blanket yarn in "Pitter Patter", it is a super bulky yarn.

A favorite holiday side dish in our family, since I was a little girl, was cucumbers and onions. Now, for family get togethers, these are my job. They are awesome all year round and perfect for a summer side.
For 1 jar of Cucumbers & Onions:
1/2 c white vinegar
1/2 c water
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp celery salt

A friend I met through
Twitter, Leanne Shirtliffe, had a twitter party last week for her new book
Don't Lick The Minivan. I'd never fully
participated in a twitter party before, so thought this would be a super fun
one to jump in on. And I wasnt wrong, there were plenty of funny stories and
laughs had by all. One of her questions
was "share a cooking fail".

I'm a big fan of cabbage, and love eating it in the summer time. What I'm not a big fan of is creamy dressing on coleslaw, I'm a vinaigrette girl through and through. Coleslaw is an easy side in the summer, and this has a tangy fresh dressing that is quick to make and easy to double if you need something to take to a bbq. I must make it 2 times a week in the summer.

April 1st already, wow. Where has the first 3 months of the year gone? As fast as time is flying, spring certainly has not sprung yet here in Alberta.
