A New Crochet Blog I Found And Wanted To Share With You!

Hello everyone, I hope that your day is going along for you as nice as mine is today. We are having a hot weather day here, but it is clear and just so beautiful outside with this breeze that's blowing......is very pleasant :)
I came online today to find a very nice comment posted here on my blog.
It was from: http://ivyscreationscrochet.spaces.live.com/
Her name is Ivy (I think) and she is in Brazil. I was invited to link sites with her and I would be honored to link to her blog.
I visited there today and she has a lot of crochet YouTube videos of some of the things she makes. I know it is in Spanish, but the video's are so clear to understand the stitches she is making, that I thought you all might like to visit at her blog and see her work. Here is the link to all of her YouTube Video's if you would like to see some of her creations: IvyCrochetCreationVideos

She is a very talented crocheter, and I will visit there often. Now, if I can just figure out how to use a translater, LOL!

Save to your computer where you choose to. I always save mine to my pictures when I am saving button links to sites :)

Then place my site URL in the button for linking to CrochetManiacs......that's it :)
