Hi my crafty friends! Hope you're well and safe!
This is the time of the year when usually my husband and I are saying goodbye to the daily routine and traveling for our summer vacation. We have visited so many beautiful places since we moved to the US, and National Parks have been our preferred summer destinations.
To "celebrate" our love for the outdoors, I want to share a fun crochet project to create a beautiful handmade crib mobile. This week I'll be sharing the instructions to crochet these cute little pine trees and the alpine mountain. The second part of the project will be posted next Tuesday...so stay tuned!
