Knit Jeans Scarf

I am always shopping for yarn, and during one of my trips to Joann, I discovered Lion Brand Jeans yarn. I instantly fell in love with this yarn, which comes in different shades of denim. Near the yarn, I also found several free patterns. The pattern for this scarf is called the Jeans Kassidy Scarf.  For this scarf, I used the Jeans yarn in shades Brand New, Stonewash, and Faded. These are the same shades used in the pattern, but Lion Brand Jeans yarn has other colors that you can use as well. I used about a half a ball of each. 

Pinterest Challenge: Multi-Textured Crochet Scarf

Welcome to the April Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop! The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month, I chose to make/create a green Multi-Textured Crochet Scarf.

Crochet Pancake Scarf

As I've said before, I am a huge fan of the crochet designer Twinkie Chan. I adore her food themed scarves, and I've made many of them. I own both her books (Twinkie Chan's Crochet Goodies for the Fashion Foodie and Twinkie Chan's Crochet Abode a la Mode), and I admire her creativity. I really enjoy her breakfast themed scarves. I've made her Buttered Toast Scarf (I even made matching gloves) and the Bacon and Eggs Scarf. There was one scarf I really wanted to make, but the pattern wasn't available. So I had to figure it out on my own, which wasn't too hard...

Painted Canyon Sawyer Scarf

When I first learned how to crochet, all I made were blankets... Granny square blankets. But over the years I've become more adventurous with crochet, and I like to keep it fun and funky! A few months ago, I stumbled upon the Sawyer Scarf by @SierraCrochetCrafts, and I knew I just had to try the pattern soon! I fell in love with the scarf, and I knew it would look great with a variegated yarn! And I knew my favorite yarn (Painted Canyon by I Love This Yarn) would be perfect for this pattern.

Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop: Cactus Pillow

Welcome to the March Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month, I chose to create/make Crochet Cactus Pillow since I've been inspired by all the many cacti I've posted on my Crochet Corner: Cactus board.

Welcome Spring Link Party

Welcome Spring! I'm celebrating warmer weather and blooming flowers with a group of my blogging friends. You're invited to share your spring time posts with us from March 19 through April 19. Each co-host will be sharing a spring time post to kick off the party. You'll find their links first in the Link Up below. Please visit their links and check out their posts. You're sure to find lots of inspiration!

Crochet Flowering Cactus

Tomorrow is the first day if spring, and I thought I'd do some spring planting... However, I do not have a green thumb, so instead, I decided to crochet some cacti. The cactus is everywhere, and I'm loving it. After seeing several crochet cactus creations, I decided to make some of my own. I am a collector of Rae Dunn pottery, and I decided that my Rae Dunn planters definitely needed some crochet cacti.

Dollar Store Craft: Easter Bunny Wreath

Since Spring and Easter are both just around the corner, I thought I'd share my Dollar Tree Easter Bunny Hat Wreath as my craft for the March Dollar Store Craft Challenge that I'm participating in with several of my blogging friends. For this challenge, we each create a craft using supplies from the Dollar Store.

Crochet Lacy Blooms Baby Blanket #2

Last year, my mom asked me if I had any pink crochet baby blankets already made. Her friend was pregnant with her first child, and she wanted to give her a crochet baby blanket as a baby shower gift. I didn't have one already made, so I whipped one up really quick! I have so many crochet pattern books, so I looked through one of my favorites and found a pattern for a lovely baby blanket that would be perfect for a summer baby. I really enjoyed making the Lacy Blooms Blanket, so I decided to make another, but with lavender and yellow flowers this time.
