Happy Tuesday my friends! How is your week so far?
Summer is around the corner and I'm so ready for warm days, blue skies and some extra time to spend relaxing in nature...and why not, a good ice cream!
Have you ever crocheted an ice cream before? This was my very first time and I can tell you, this ice cream cone looks pretty yummy to me!
What's your favorite flavor? Chocolate, cream? I love pistachio and hazelnut...but for my crocheted ice cream cone I chose strawberry and blackberry with a frosting on top!
...so it's time to have some fun and crochet a delicious gelato!
