I received a copy of Tamara Kelly's new book for review - and I'm here to tell you all about it. These opinions are, as always, my own! Stick around: I have 1 book to give to 1 reader =)
If you crochet, you're familiar with Moogly, or with Tamara, the person behind that name. If you are entirely new to crochet, go bookmark the website. Now. I'll wait. Moogly is a great resource for crocheters of all levels. Tamara offers stitch tutorials, patterns, roundups, inspiration, etc; she is an excellent crochet teacher & designer, and I'm really happy to get to share the news of her all new book with you. =)

Omg les support à livres !!!! Pour le bureau
I actually previewed this book from the library and planning to get a copy to own – so many great projects. Some of my favorites included her pillows – perfect to add some color and texture to my bedroom without having to shell out a lot for a new duvet cover and other bedding. I also loved the kitchen items in the book – Loved the washcloths and trivet – Looking ahead to making some teacher gifts.
I’d want to make something for my kitchen or bathroom first.
My living room! I crocheted a throw for our old couch, but it had been rehomed to my daughter’s bed :D
The living room needs more crochet! The foxes, a placemat on the table, some blankets…. ♡
