Rae Dunn Inspired Cutlery Placemat

May 07, 2024 4 Comments
I have been wanting to make a placemat for when I snack or eat lunch at my craft room desk, and I finally did it! I was inspired to go ahead and make a placement when I saw that this month's theme for the May Sustainable Craft Challenge Blog Hop is Typography. I knew I wanted to create a placement with Rae Dunn styled font/words. For this project, I decided to create the placemat using the Basic Cutlery Placemat pattern by Pukapuka, and I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Recycled Yarn to make it eco-friendly. ♻😊

Easter Gnome Scarf

March 31, 2024 0 Comments
Since I've been making gnome scarves for holidays like Christmas, Halloween, and St. Patrick's Day, I decided that I migh as well make an Easter themed gnome scarf. As with my other gnome scarves, I created this scarf by following the Fall Gnome Scarf pattern by Heidi Yates/Snappy Tots and made some modifications. This pattern is so fun and can be made with a variety of color combinations.

St. Patricks Day Rainbow Scarf

March 05, 2024 6 Comments

I've been wanting to create a St. Patrick's Day themed scarf for a while now, and I'm pleased to say that I finally got around to making one! I was inspired to go ahead and create this scarf when I saw that the theme for this month's Sustainable Craft Challenge is RAINBOW. I decided to crochet a scarf where one half is in rainbow colors and the other half is green. I knew I wanted a pot of gold and a lepruchan. To create this scarf, I followed the Fall Gnome Scarf pattern by Heidi Yates/Snappy Tots and made some modifications. This pattern is so fun and can be made with a variety of color combinations.

Crochet Patchwork Heart

February 06, 2024 14 Comments
I've admired the Crochet Patchwork Hearts created by Vendulka of Magic With Hook and Needles for a while, so when I saw that the theme for the February Sustainable Craft Challenge was Heart, I knew this would be the perfect project for the challenge. I decided to crochet the heart using yarn that's already in my stash, and instead of using fiber fill, I'd stuff the heart with yarn scraps.

Purple and Teal Crochet Baubles

January 31, 2024 0 Comments
I know it's after Christmas, but I recently had a request to make a set of crochet baubles. I have several crochet bauble color options in my Etsy shop, and this customer wanted a set of the baubles in the same color scheme, so of course  I made them for her. 😊 And baubles/ornaments are always fun to make no matter what time of year it is. In fact, I plan on making some crochet heart baubles soon.

Santa & Reindeer Scarf

December 25, 2023 0 Comments
Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is enjoying the day and spending time with family and friends and good food! Anyhoo, I recently crocheted the Santa's Reindeer Sampler Scarf (pattern by Snappy Tots), and I've used this pattern before a couple times, but in the past, I never put Santa on the scarf. I think I was intimidated by his loopy beard. Well, I finally did it. I finally crocheted that loopy beard, and it turned out all right!
