Pedigo Square is the 7th square in the Riverwood Square Crochet Along Series! Make several of this square to make a blanket or use it for other projects. Enjoy!
We are back from our Pioneer Days event and the kids just started back to school yesterday (Thursday). Gracie graduates this year. Not sure why but that just doesn’t seem possible. However, she has worked extra hard over the past year to graduate a year early. If all goes well she will be able to knock out two college classes this Fall, as well. The fence was also completed while we were out of town. The girls are having so much fun playing in the back yard. Besides getting caught up on things at the house and business we are steadily prepping for our next show, which is in four weeks. That info will be in our newsletter. So be on the lookout for that information and much more.
