Kellie

A tribute in pink and black to a wonderful woman

Kellie — pattern: “Nature’s Serenity by nerdprincessdesigns.com — crocheted by Author.

Last weekend, August 7— 9, 2026, I was at the ‘cabin’ in Prescott. As always, I use the getaway as a personal reboot for my nervous system. And, like every time before and in the future, I take something I’m crocheting to work on in the peace of the mountaintop.

This past weekend was the 13th anniversary of my sister’s suicide and death. I thought a lot about her and how she would have loved to sit in the peace of the Prescott mountains with me. No stress, no worries. Just nature.

My passion for crochet is well known in these here parts. It’s literally in my blood. Mosaic crochet has been an obsession for at least three years now, and with all of the new designs that have come out, I just keep finding new inspiration.

I thought it was appropriate to complete this particular project while in the mountains. Just look at the details of the mountains, trees, stars, and moon on this one.
