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 […]

Beret or Tam 2019
(NOTE: Created under old blog name of NoCo Crafts) Another chilly night and this was born! It’s been so cold this winter, I’ve come up with quite a few quick, small projects. This beret has no pattern. I started with a basic circle motif, and simply worked it up by adding stitches every couple of […]
Infant Ladybug Dress 2018
This dress was made at the last minute for a baby shower. Actually, it was a shower for my son’s girlfriend, who was due with my 10th grandchild! I had already made a couple small things, and purchased diapers and a few cutesy outfits, but I got this idea in my head, and just ran […]
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 […]
Creeper Beanies
These are two beanies I made with the Minecraft® Creeper theme. I cannot recall where I found the pattern, but I do recall that I ended up modifying the pattern I started with. I just could not make sense of the original pattern. Both were made with Red Heart Super Saver worsted weight yarn. The […]
Snow White Slouchy Hat 2015
This was made using the same pattern as the Bulky Slouchy hats, but with worsted weight yarn. The yarn used was Red Heart Soft. I love the texture and look of the yarn. It has a light, sort of “glossiness” to it. The pattern is Totally Rad Slouchy, which is currently a paid pattern, but […]
Bulky Slouch Hat 2015
This was made from a pattern that is now a paid pattern, but was given for free for a very short time. The name of the pattern is called “Totally Rad Slouchy Hat”. Originally, I found this in a Facebook crochet group I belong to, but I think it may be on Ravelry too. I […]
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 […]
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 […]
Inspirations of Minnie Earflap Beanie 2015
Are you tired of seeing hats yet? LOL Here is another for you! I made all my grandchildren themed hats this past Christmas, and this one was inspired by a certain mouse. I got the basic pattern from Repeat Crafter Me, but I worked the bow just a bit different. The pattern allows you to […]
Penguin Earflap Beanie 2015
I just love this hat! I made this for my 4-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. I think the earflap beanies are just so cute on the little ones! As long as they like them and will wear them, I’ll keep making them! This pattern was found at Repeat Crafter Me, and is fairly easy and quick […]
