Crochet Pattern 


I cannot keep a secret!
I Just cannot wait to to tell You
 what the Christmas In july
 Mini Mystery Crochet Along is!!!

The Melted Snowman!


I decided to make a melted snowman.
It's a fun little project to crochet, 
and it even made me giggle
 as I was designing it.

It Sure Is Hot In July!
It's designed to bring fun and Christmas Cheer In July!
It's quick and fun to make, and it's so silly.
  Decorate with them or just give some to your family
 and friends to make them smile.



It's another great way to use up some left over yarns
 and make something so silly everyone will be
 having a great time. Make them for a get together,
use them as place markers and send one home 
with all your guests. They will not forget your 
Christmas party Christmas party!
