Ocean Waves Washcloth

Well hello there!

With summer quickly approaching, it’s almost time for spending more time outdoors and less time inside crocheting. Personally, I crochet year round, but I prefer smaller projects when it’s warm outside. Who wants to sit under a huge heavy blanket in the summer? I sure don’t.

That’s why I have designed the cutest little pattern for you! It’s quick, beginner friendly and oh so useful! You can never have too many washcloths/dishcloths.

Creamsicle Wrap

Hey there!

Did you ever start out making something with an idea in mind only to discover that, whoops, that’s not what I intended to make? Well that’s what happened with this pattern. Originally I was going to make a nice summery scarf. As I started working and getting further into the pattern, I realized that I made it too wide!

Oh well. Now it’s a wrap! Actually it can be multiple things and I love the pattern more now that I messed it up than I did the original idea. Sometimes life is funny that way. 🙂

April Showers Shawl

The April Showers Shawl brings smiling faces! 😀

Hey there!

Spring is here and surprise, surprise it’s raining! (At least it’s too warm to snow. 😉 )

So my little family was sitting in Denny’s waiting for our orders after we finished shopping at Hobby Lobby for yarn for my newest project, when my husband says to me, “I’ve got this idea for a set of themed shawls.” My husband usually comes up with some pretty good ideas, I must say, but I don’t think he was expecting the reaction he got after telling me this idea.

Chick Applique

Hey there!

Recently I discovered my love of making appliques! I love being able to use my creativity to create a form of art and the fact that my medium is yarn…that just blows my mind. I used to draw and paint when I was younger, but I never imagined I’d be able to turn a drawing into something tangible.

Hey there! Ready for Spring?

I can’t wait! I’m so ready for flowers, short sleeves, open windows and sunshine. I’ve always felt like Easter was the unofficial kickoff to Spring. It’s just that this year, Easter is very early. Here in Pennsylvania, we’ll be dealing with the white stuff for several more weeks.

Happy almost Easter!

Isn’t it fun to decorate the eggs at Easter time? My boys always have a blast making a huge mess all over my kitchen table, dye and vinegar everywhere! I don’t mind though. It’s fun just watching them have fun.

Hey there!

I’d like to believe that Spring is here since we’ve passed the daylight savings time clock change, but it just so happens to be snowing right now. Hopefully, wherever you are, the weather is warmer.

Even though it’s cold today, I designed this beautiful Water’s Edge Kimono in the hopes that Spring would hurry up. I think sometimes Mother Nature needs a good swift kick in the pants! Ha! I’m only fooling myself though. She’ll do whatever she wants.
