One of my favorite holiday traditions is pulling out all of the Christmas boxes, turning on Christmas music, and putting out all the decorations the day after Thanksgiving. But this year I am behind. It's a week later and I still haven't finished getting out all the decorations. It's been crazy over here. One thing I have managed is to finish crocheting a garland for the Christmas tree. I've always wanted one and this year I finally made one! While I suppose it's a bit "late" to be posting Christmas decor patterns, this garland works up really quickly and is the perfect addition for both the people who haven't finished decorating yet (hopefully it's not just me...) and the people who are looking for a lovely finishing touch. You can never have too much garland right? Whichever camp you fall in this year, I hope you enjoy this crochet pattern for an easy, tangle-free garland! 

I'm excited to share a new pattern with you for a customizable fairy doll! I had lots of fun making this pattern in different color combos, so this one is perfect for personalizing to get the look you want. And, as an added bonus, you can watch a video tutorial for this pattern as part of the You.Make 2023 Crochet Summit. I don't usually make videos, so this was a new experience for me, but I hope that you'll check out my Crochet Summit class and make one of these fairies for yourself! It's free to sign up and you'll be able to watch my class on Day 3 (Wednesday, November 8th). If you're interested, you can sign up here. There are lots of other awesome projects by great crocheters, so I hope you'll check it out!
