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.
Bunny Applique
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.
Easter Egg Appliques
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.

Water’s Edge Kimono
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.
Photo Tutorial for the Water’s Edge Kimono
First, I’m going to give you the photo tutorial for the Modified Cluster Stitch. If you scroll further down, the photo tutorial for Rows 4 – 7 of the cardigan pattern will be just after. The instructions for each photo are below each photo.
Easter Wreath
Spring is almost here! (Insert happy dance 🙂 )
I’ve finally completed the last wreath in my holiday series and I’m so excited to be sharing it with you today!
I wanted to do something fun and colorful for the Easter wreath and man, did I deliver. It doesn’t get too much more colorful than this.
St. Patrick’s Day Treat Bag
Hey there!
Spring is just around the corner and I cannot wait! St. Patrick’s Day seems to be a confirmation that, yes, indeed, winter is coming to a close and there is a light at the end of this frigid tunnel.
But, besides that, who doesn’t love St. Patrick’s Day? Ireland — beautiful. Luck — everyone can use that. Gold — wish I had some. Green beer — well…I don’t know about that one. 😛
Rustic Boot Cuffs
Hey everyone!
Today, I’d like to share my latest design for these simple, yet stunning boot cuffs!
When I set out to design them, I knew that I wanted something a little feminine and a little country or rustic, but I had no set design in mind. And it was actually when I was shopping for buttons and sifting through spools upon spools of ribbon and trim, that the style was decided — A beautiful umber colored wool, buttons that looked like wood grain and an antiqued somewhat lacy trim.
Leprechaun Hat
Hello!
Have you ever wished that you could get your hands on that pesky little leprechaun’s gold at the end of a rainbow? I know I have…even as an adult! Ha! Imagine all the yarn it would buy…. *Sigh*
Okay, back to reality.
Aspen Tweed Cowl
Well hello there!
Last week I released the pattern for the Aspen Tweed Hat that included the directions for a messy bun style hat or a beanie with or without a pompom. You can see the hat pattern at the link.
This week, I decided to make a matching cowl and, since I had so much leftover yarn, I also created some matching mittens! You can see the pattern for the Aspen Tweed Mittens at this link.
