Crochet Quote
“I am making gentle progress with my winter wreath, and this is one thing where I am enjoying the slowness. It’s such an enjoyable process, a journey, and really I’m in no rush at all. A leaf here, a handful of teeny-tiny balls there and gradually it all begins to come together.” – Attic24
