When I think of spring and summer, I think of warm weather, fun in the sun, BBQs, and ICE CREAM! So I decided to crochet a fun ice cream scarf. Since my family and I are back in the PNW, it's still chilly here. I was hoping it would be warmer by now, but our temperatures are in the love 50s. Anyhoo, my favorite ice cream flavor is Bubblegum (especially the Baskin Robbins Pink Bubblegum). My love for bubblegum ice cream began when I was a little girl, and my parents and I would visit family in North Carolina. We'd stop at a place called South of the Border to get ice cream, and my father would get bubblegum, and so did I! The bubblegum ice cream at South of the Border was blue and so delicious. So what's YOUR favorite ice cream flavor? (Tell me in the comments!)

As of last month, both of my kiddos were back in school for a couple hours a day, and since Covid is still out there... the kiddos are wearing masks to school. So of course, I had to make sure my kiddos have fun and comfy masks to wear. With the masks I made before, I used regular ⅛ elastic, and sometimes that would hurt the little ears if we were out and about for a while. So I searched online and found some comfy (and colorful) adjustable elastic earloops. I wish I had found them sooner! They're so easy to sew on, and my kiddos love them. To create my masks, I use the Fitted Mask Pattern by Sew Poppy Red.
