If you are looking for a new project and want to create something beautiful and unique, try knitting with jumbo needles and multiple skeins of yarn….
I think we can all agree that life can get pretty crazy. Sometimes we just need a reminder to breathe. There’s a great song that reminds me to “Just Breathe…. Come and Rest at His Feet“. I decided this would be a great mug to create with the Cricut Mug Press. I used the Splash…
