2017 Designer Blog Tour – National Crochet Month
March is National Crochet Month and I’m so honored to be featured on Crochetville. It’s the last day of the tour and today is my day, I chose this day as it is a special day for me.This is an annual event on Crochetville, and each day there are featured designers, giveaways, and related posts to the theme, which is glamping this year. Glamorous camping, which is very trendy with people fixing up their vintage trailers and making them look awesome!
