Something I’ve been doing lately is sewing. I used to have a good sewing machine, prior to our move to California. But, in our efforts to save precious packing space in the SUV, I sold it. And sold all my thread, fabric, cutting mat, rotary cutter, and all mask-making materials. You know those masks… everyone […]

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 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 […]
Snowman Stockings 2017
I made a total of 19 of these adorable Christmas stockings! Eight for my grandchildren, two for stepdaughter and her boyfriend, two for my stepsons, two for their little sister and their niece, one for my sister-in-law’s daughter, two for a co-worker, and two extra because I had miscounted! LOL This was not my own […]
Another Little Girls Dress 2017
Yet another little girl’s chevron dress. This one is for my almost 6 year old granddaughter. Below is an image showing off the 2 1/2 year-old and 7 year-old granddaughters wearing their dresses for Easter Sunday! (I think I’ll make vests for the boys for the next time they dress in their “Sunday Best”!) These […]
Unicorn Earflap Hats 2017
These are three unicorn hats I was commissioned to make. The pattern is a paid pattern, found at BriAbby.com. Although they each used 100% acrylic yarn, there was a variety of brands I had on hand, so I used up what I could. In addition to what is listed below, I also used small amounts […]
Soulmates 2009
These are felted clog-style slippers I made from a paid pattern from Fiber Trends. Actually, there are two patterns… Adult sizes and child sizes. I wish I could find my pattern pamphlets because I would SOOOO make these again! One pair that I made I rubberized the soles, so I could occasionally go outside with […]
Batman Earflap Hat 2015
So… A Batman hat… Maybe not the most original idea, however it was made for one of my grandsons as a gift this past Christmas. The hat itself is just a basic earflap beanie, with the bat logo stitched to the yellow oval. The oval has white trim around it, and is then stitched to […]
Bigger Little Girl’s Crochet Chevron Dress 2016
This is the larger of the crochet chevron dresses I’ve made. This one should fit a child about 6 or 7 years old. This is from the same pattern as the other dresses in the previous post. (Red Heart). Instead of four different colors, I opted to make this just two alternating colors. Again, I […]
Little Girl’s Crochet Chevron Dress 2016
I made this for one of my granddaughters, but it came out just a bit smaller than I counted on (purple/lavender/pink). But I just love how it turned out! I loved it so much, I made a second one just slightly larger to fit her better (yellow/green/blue). I gave the other dress to someone else […]
Shark Attack Earflap Beanie 2015
My youngest grandson chose this as the hat he wanted. I gave it to him a few months later as a Christmas gift. I’m guessing he loved it, because he wore it all winter! This pattern came from Sarah Zimmerman over at Repeat Crafter Me. I just love her patterns!
SquareBob SpongyPants Earflap Beanie 2015
Yes, I know the title not exactly what the character name is, but this is to prevent infringement of the copyrighted character. This was made for one of my granddaughters as a Christmas gift. She just loves that yellow sponge guy, and I found this pattern on Repeat Crafter Me. I think that is probably […]
