This is the story of Maria Ferrel—or rather, the story of the flavors she carried, preserved, and passed down
through a lifetime of courage, change, and love.

Well, things are moving along with my Texas crochet book to be published by the end of the month. That’s the good news. The bad news is I haven’t had time for much else lately. For Valentine’s Day, though, I have a free heart eyeglass holder crochet pattern. He’s as cute as a button and can be finished in an evening.
