Made this for my grandson Z for his birthday. He is a Leap Day baby, so he has an “actual” birthday this year! He is semi-obsessed with Minecraft. Didn’t have the ambition to make all the pixel squares, so I used “camouflage” yarn. Hope he likes it! It was pretty easy to make. I just […]

Quick Dishcloths
This used to be a huge thing… crocheted or knit dishcloths. Not so much anymore… But I still love them! Some of the ones I’ve made I’ve had for several years! And if they do wear out, they are really easy to replace. Just make more! I have not bought sponges in years because I […]
Bailey’s Dog Sweater
My nephew’s fur baby, Bailey. She’s strutting her stuff in the new sweater I made for her. She is such a great dog! I can’t recall where I found the pattern, but I modified it quite a bit, because this adorable girl is a bit barrel chested! But she looks so darn good in royal purple!! […]
Controlled Chaos?
I love to create with yarn! I’m also sort of a pattern hoarder. I have probably THOUSANDS of patterns saved on my computer and in cloud storage. I can’t help it! I read patterns (and cookbooks) like other people read novels. I know I’ll never use every single pattern I have, but you know… someday […]
Stained Glass Nightmare
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 […]
