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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Pink Sands 2016
This was made as a birthday gift for my boyfriend’s daughter, who was turning 18. She wanted pink, so I gave her a few palettes to pick from and she chose these colors. I told her the design had to be a surprise, and I found a lovely pattern. The pattern is from Bernat, and […]
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 […]
