Get ready, readers, today is the first day of March which means for the next two months I will be posting daily. In March for the Slice of Life Challenge hosted by the Two Writing Teachers and in April for National Poetry Month.
In the early days of February I was babysitting my grandson in New Orleans. I went on a walk around their neighborhood and found a cute Little Free Library. In the box, there was a small clear ziplock holding a crocheted butterfly.
I crochet and have a crochet group I attend at the local Methodist Church. I brought this along to see if anyone could figure out how it was made. We discussed it. Then I realized that YouTube would be my best bet for finding the pattern. https://youtu.be/0roMpWheBec?si=oHX52nLBuufWV7GL
I made one using some left over rainbow yarn.
Isn’t it adorable? I decided all my grandchildren will be getting butterflies in their Easter baskets.
Do you have a hobby that is soothing and fun to share with others?
Reflections on the Teche 
What an fun thing to put in the little free library. And look at the ripple effect of the kindness it brought!
Margaret, this makes me smile seeing that crocheted butterfly! I tried crocheting and even messed up the cotton yarn potholders, so I applaud anyone who can keep count of stitches and actually make something that looks like what it is supposed to be! High Five! That’s a great idea to put them in your grandkids’ baskets! I love that you are asking about hobbies. I have been revisiting that question since I started thinking about retirement seriously, and as I ease into the months ahead, I’ll be looking back on things I have loved throughout my life. Reading, of course, tops my list, and writing as well. Thanks for nudging me to think about hobbies.
Margaret,
That butterfly is cute. I had one crochet lesson a while back and need to try again. At the time I was dealing w/ some severe neck pain. I’m ready now but maybe after April.
