Stitchy Update and Pretty Pink Crochet Heart

I was pleased to get just a tiny bit of stitching done on Christmastide. It was enough to make me realize I DO want to continue with it. Sometimes I get an itch to just abandon a project, and I did with this one too, but I have persevered!

Doesn't look like a lot, but those swirls gave me a fit. You gotta think about where to put the stitches, or just do half the stitch, so you can circle back and complete them. Can't wait to get this top done and move on to those cute little reindeer and house!

I also wanted to crochet something pretty for Valentine's Day. I started a pattern called Grandma's Heart, which you can find HERE.

I gotta tell you, this has confused me SO much. I don't think I'll be able to finish it based on my current level of confusion, but I thought the beginning of it was super cute!  If you happen to try it, I wish you luck, and maybe you could let me know what you think of the actual written pattern, and what I may be missing. I'm a pretty experienced crocheter, but this one may have bested me. I'm not giving up/in just yet. But I'm close. :)

This week is Valentine's Day, and I hope everyone has a good one-even if it's just by yourself. Sometimes, these holidays can make a person feel very lonely. But grab a friend and have a "Galentine's Day" lunch or take yourself to a movie!  By the way, my mom and I went to see Knives Out last week and I HIGHLY recommend! We loved it!

Until next time,
