We have 2 baby swallowtail caterpillars that made a home in the parsley. So, we brought them into a mesh cage (outside, of course) to protect them from the birds and give them a fighting chance. It’s so interesting to watch them grow and change!

Happy Friday to you! Did you know I have a blog post full of my favorite free crochet patterns? You can find the link in my bio and check them out today.

One of my favorite finds - Mini Yip Yips!! I'm a little obsessed with these guys - they just make me smile!

If you don't know what the Yip Yips are, go find a YouTube video of them from old school Sesame Street. They are totally ridiculous, but equally awesome.

​Find links to these guys (and my other favorite freebie patterns) over on the blog (link in bio).
