Crochet finds in the movie Family Pack
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes You know what I love? Those weird, probably intended for children, not too scary films about some sort of paranormal stuff. If it’s a foreign film, even better. I think a lot of foreign films do a much better job with paranormal storylines for kids.…

Sudden afghan project finished!
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes Well, aside from the ends, which are still unwoven as I write this, I did finish this project in a week. It surprises me a bit because I always think that bigger yarns go faster, but not ridiculously faster. In fact, they do go ridiculously…
