August Sunflower 2026

Sunflower jjcoffield 2026 

 Good morning! I hope you are doing well. I went outside to snap a few pictures of this beautiful sunflower. I had to keep wiping my Nikon camera lens because it kept fogging up. It's 74 degrees  and partly sunny. The high will be around 83 degrees. We are expecting some rain later. We need it in our area of  North Carolina, USA. 

 Have a blessed weekend.

Crochet: Summer Time Bear Fashion

Welcome, 

Here is a sweet diy crochet project for the any plushie lover. 

Joy Bears Summer Outfit

designer  Sara Sach 

The Joy Bears Summer Outfit -  Sun Hat, Tank Top And Shorts Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs. 

Joy Bears Summer Outfit 

I used a size H/5.0 mm crochet hook. I used acrylic yarn by Mainstays ™ of Walmart in yellow and white. 

My bear is a red Valentine's Day bear named Lovie. Lovie is approximately 14 inches in height. Sara Sach's free pattern works best with 16 inch plushies. The pattern is customizable. You can find this pattern on her YouTube channel with a link to the written pattern on her blog.  You can find lots of  written patterns with easy to follow instructions along with photos on the blog. 

Have fun crocheting. 

Smiles, 

Janet
