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 […]

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!
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 […]
Shell Stitch Crochet Wool Scarf 2013
I made this wool scarf in a simple shell stitch, using Patons Classic Wool Worsted yarn. I believe the colorway was called Rosewood. When I bought this, Patons sold it as a 100% Merino wool. I can’t seem to find it anymore except as a wool blend, which is thoroughly disappointing. I do not have […]
Crochet Sun Hats 2015
These three are sun hats I made for babies. The yellow one fits a child about 12 -18 months old, and the green one and pink one I made to fit my 6-month-old twin nieces, but should fit them for at least a year. They were very simple to make, but I had no pattern […]
Knit Stretch Slippers 2008
Slippers I made for my brother T. He is a size 13EEE, so these were probably the largest pair I’ve EVER made! I made these from a pattern I found on the internet, but I had a bit of difficulty with the pattern, so I changed and adapted the pattern just a little. They resemble […]
Knit Hats 2008
Two more hats made in 2008, using the Red Heart “Family of Hats” pattern. The pen in the image is for size/height comparison. The yellow and blue hat is made slightly smaller. I don’t recall what size these were, but the blue and yellow was probably sized for a small toddler. The other was likely […]
Child’s Mittens and Hat (Knit) 2008
These mittens and hats were made for my 4 year old nephew A., and my two year old nephew, M. I do not have a picture of the other hat. The mittens were made using a free pattern from somewhere on the internet! The hats were made using a pattern from Red Heart. The “dummy […]
Crochet Hat & Scarf Set 2006
This is one of my favorites that I’ve designed. It’s simple and fairly quick to work up. I’m not 100% sure but I believe the yarn was Red Heart Super Saver. I made several sets of these and gave them to my niece and nephews for Christmas that year. My nephew, M. is modelling his […]
