Rae Dunn Inspired Cutlery Placemat

May 07, 2024 5 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. ♻😊

Knit Jute Trivets

July 26, 2023 4 Comments
My mother fell in love with a "crochet" jute pot holder she saw online, but it was sold out. So she mentioned it to me. Of course, I took the hint and headed to Hobby Lobby for some jute to make a couple pot holders/trivets for her. The example she showed me looked very knit, not crochet, so I had to dig out my knitting needles and get to work. I'm not sure if I was knitting or purling, but I got them done! 😆😆😆

Crochet Wall Mounted Plant Holders

May 23, 2023 4 Comments
A couple months ago, my mom saw some wall mounted plant hangers in a Facebook group, and she fell in love with them. They were crochet, so she asked if I could make them. I've never made plant hangers before, but after doing a little searching online, I found the pattern for the plant hangers. Then I needed to get yarn. Once I had the pattern (Wall Mounted Plant Holder) and the yarn, I got to work!

Fluffy Crochet Duster Cover

April 05, 2022 14 Comments
Welcome to the April Sustainable Pinterest Challenge hosted by Julie from Sum of Their Stories & Gail from Purple Hues and Me. For this month's challenge, we are using inspiration from Pinterest to create something sustainable/eco-friendly to Welcome Spring. When I think of Spring, I think of Spring cleaning to really get the house ready for the new season. I love to open up the windows to let the fresh air in. I also like to dust off the ceiling fans and make sure there aren't any cobwebs around the ceiling. And at 5'4", that's a struggle! So I recently bought a Swiffer Dusters 360 Extendable Handle Starter Kit, which makes it so much easier to clean the ceiling fans. The Swiffer Duster kit I purchased included three heavy duty dusters. These dusters are disposable, so I thought it would be cool to crochet a duster that I can wash and reuse.  Of course, I searched Pinterest for ideas, and I found a Pin for a Scrubby Duster by Snappy Tots.

Crochet Flower Facial Scrubbies

March 01, 2022 16 Comments

Welcome to the March Sustainable Pinterest Challenge hosted by Julie from Sum of Their Stories & Gail from Purple Hues and Me. For this month's challenge, we are using inspiration from Pinterest to create something floral that is sustainable/eco-friendly.  So I decided that I wanted to make a few crochet facial scrubbies that look like flowers. After searching Pinterest, I found this Pin, and followed the pattern on the blog to create my own Flower Facial Scrubbies. Reusable facial scrubbies are eco-friendly because you can use them instead of disposable makeup remover pads and other types of disposable facial pads. I've always wanted to make facial pads to use instead of disposable acne pads. Instead of throwing them in the trash, you wash them with your laundry.

Welcome to the February Sustainable Pinterest Challenge hosted by Julie from Sum of Their Stories & Gail from Purple Hues and Me. For this month's challenge, we are using inspiration from Pinterest to create things from/for the kitchen that are sustainable/eco-friendly.  As a crocheter, whenever I think of making something for the kitchen, my mind always goes to dishcloths! So I searched Pinterest for fun and quick dishcloth patterns, and I found a pin for a Bobble Stripe Crochet Dishcloth and a Crochet Sponge.

Corner to Corner Dishcloths

November 19, 2018 6 Comments
It's time for the November Craft Room De-Stash Challenge, and this month I'm de-stashing some of my Lily Sugar'n Cream yarn by using it to crochet some corner to corner dishcloths.  I have way too much yarn. So I love the Monthly De-stash Challenge. It motivates me to use up yarn and not buy more! Anyhoo...
