National Soft Ice Cream Day

Anyone who knows me knows that I love ice cream, especially soft serve ice cream. When the children were young, we used to take them to walk the Poteet flea market, La Pulga. The children were interested in raspas (snow cones), but my favorite stand was the soft ice cream stand. The best vanilla soft serve in the San Antonio area!

For my mom’s birthday, I got her a Cuisinart ice cream maker. She loved it so much, I got one for myself. Last week I made homemade peach ice cream. Tonight I’ll be making lemon sorbet. It’s so easy – just freeze the bowl for 24 hours, then combine your ingredients and pour them in. When you turn it on, the bowl spins slowly, and 20 minutes later you have wonderful homemade ice cream. Yummy!

I love ice cream so much, I made an ice cream cone pillow using Bernat blanket yarn. It’s nearly 3 feet tall and super squishy!

Bernat Blanket or other super bulky (6) yarn

12 oz. Sunsoaked (yellow)

Pug Christmas Tree Ornament

For the last Christmas in July post of the year, I made a cute little Christmas ornament to match my pug, Bruno. He doesn’t look too impressed, does he?

Anyway, I thought it was cute, and I’ll hang it on my tree this year. I may even make a couple more with squeakers inside. That should impress him! Bruno loves squeakers and won’t play with a toy that doesn’t make noise.

It only takes a few yards of each color, so you probably already have them in your scrap basket.

Happy New Year Coloring Page

Oh my goodness! What a whirlwind 2021 has been. Thanks to all my followers for supporting me throughout the year. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every issue, and I appreciate all the love for the designs I publish. Here’s to an even better 2022!

Are you ready for 2021 to be over? Looking forward to 2022? Here in Texas we’ve been having beautiful spring-like weather. Christmas Day it got up to 84 degrees, and we were playing with a pinata in the backyard. It looks like that’s about to change. There’s a cold front headed for the southern portion of the United States. Saturday is New Year’s Day, and we’re supposed to have a high of 79 degrees, then a 50-degree drop by Saturday night. I know by the time it gets dark, I’ll be on the sofa crocheting with a nice fire going in the fireplace. At least I’ll get to use the marshmallows I bought for making smores at Christmas. What are your 2022 crochet plans?

Maybe you would like to crochet yourself something warm this weekend. The Full Moon Pocket Shawl is a perfect weekend project, complete with YouTube tutorial for the Catherine’s Wheel Stitch.
