Happy Tuesday my friend! I hope you've had a good jump into the new week!
Am I the only one looking forward to Summer? I'm already dreaming of sunset beach walks, road trips, ice cream and evening by the fire pit.
...and since we started talking about Summer, let's get ready for the next season with a series of nautical crochet projects!
Today I'll be sharing the first of three cute designs that will immediately make you dream about summertime!
Let's make a soft and squishy Lighthouse amigurumi that can work as play toy for your kids or as a cute baby nursery decor!
