It's Song Time!

 I was reading my blog posts this morning, and as usual, Simon at Stuck in a Book has posted his Sunday song choice. From the short time I have been following him, he has uploaded a varied mix of songs, some of which I like and others which are less appealing. I think this is a really great idea.

Hooked On Crochet

So my newest hobby is crochet and to say that I am addicted to it would be an understatement. There has been a huge resurgence over the last few years in all types of crafting, but particularly in knitting and crochet. I was taught to do both of these by my Grandmother when I was a child. At the time, I found knitting easier and over the...

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog- It's Just My Butterfly Mind.  Some of you may already know that I have another blog-Chick's Lit  which is all about my passion for books and reading. However, I have other hobbies and interests that I would like to write about and so I thought I would begin another outlet for my random musings. I...
