profile = My name is Marjeta. I am a nature and hiking lover. I am passionate about all kinds of creativity. I love to knit, crochet, sew and make greeting cards. I am also no stranger to baking and making cakes. I have been publishing my creations on my blog since 2014.

Marjeta's choice for the AKDG theme are these crocheted sweater mug cozy and coordinating crocheted hot pad (perfect for a coffee pot, a warm plate, etc.):

and Guest DT Marjeta

=============================================

 on April 18th from owner/DT Becca S = I spent a few minutes in Microsoft Designer to create some Ai-generated "table runners on dining table" images. Please feel free (for personal use) to take 1 or more of these to use for FQHSKCB #5 or for future challenges.

Super cool!!! These have a bit of Nordic look to them, I think. That wasn't part of the description I typed but it's wonderful to see what the possibilities can be! 

Enjoy!
