I love the look of mixed, randomly placed colors. It reminds me of my grandmother’s scrap afghans she used to make. No two blankets were exactly alike, and that made them so special! However, just because I love how they look, does NOT mean I like to create them. Ugh!!! I don’t mind making the […]
Casablanca Mosaic Afghan (in progress)
This was a beast to make, but I loved every moment! Well, okay, mostly loved every minute! I did have some moments where I just had to put it aside and work other projects, especially around Christmastime when I was trying to finish up some gifts! When I called this a beast, I meant that […]
Puppy Pillow
Made this cute pillow for one of my granddaughters. I’ve been doing these pillows for the grandkids as birthday gifts. Her birthday is coming up in early November, and she’ll be turning 8 this year. I think the design is age appropriate, and cute too!
Another Unicorn Hat
I swore I’d never make another unicorn hat, yet here I am….. lol Actually, a co-worker had seen some of my knit and crochet work, and asked if I could make a unicorn hat, like the ones I made before. Only this one would be adult sized for his girlfriend who apparently loved all things […]
Feeling Froggy
I briefly mentioned this little guy in my last post. I didn’t want to give too much away, because I wanted it to have it’s own post. It turned out wonderfully, and it deserves it’s own accolades! lol I did not have the same plastic eyes that the designer used, But I made due with […]
Havana Mosaic Afghan
I’ve been working on a couple of things… one is an afghan from a pattern called Havana Afghan. It is a paid pattern, written by a lovely designer named Tinna. It has a lot of pages, but it really is much more simple to work up than it looks! I have a couple of her […]
Lexi’s Rainbow Pillow
Latest pillow for granddaughter’s 5th birthday. No pattern. Just TSS (Tunisian Simple Stitch) with cross stitching. I’m not fully happy with how the cross stitching turned out. To me, it looks kind of messy, but that could be just my own eyes. However, I know she will love it because its pink, its sparkly, it […]
Peppa Lovey 2017
This was fun to create! I made this for my granddaughter who was turning three years old in July 2017. She just adored the children’s show with the cute pig character, and I wanted to make her something unique that no one else might have. I was so tickled that she loved this as much […]
Crochet Produce 2018
I started making this on a whim. A friend saw them, and asked if I would sell the set of fruits and veggies. She was looking for cute, soft toys for her toddler grandson for Christmas, and she fell in love with these. I don’t usually sell items I make, mostly because no one really […]
Crochet Long Cardigan 2017
I wasn’t sure I wanted to share this… Not because I don’t like it, but rather because I am the one modeling it in the pictures. I don’t feel this is a flattering sweater on me, although it may look nicer on other people. I do, however, love how warm this is! It’s almost like […]
Canadian Flag Pillow 2018
This one I knew was going to be a pillow. I just wasn’t sure what design would be on each side. So, I did a diamond pattern for one side, and it was suggested requested that I make it resemble the Canadian flag in some way. So, I got out the graph paper and got […]
