This week's "wash" project has an extra purpose. Yes, it can be a scrubbie or soap saver, but the main reason behind it is to hold a round cold pack. In December our youngest son got the flu really bad and was down for almost two weeks. Several of those days were spent with a high fever so we kept rotating between some small ones we had. He doesn't like them right next to his skin so we usually ...
Free pattern: Nancy's Slippers
A nice pair of squishy soft slippers is probably my favorite thing. I have a couple of pairs friends have made me and I keep them in my nightstand, by my work station and in our trailer. I love making them for gifts and it makes me happy to see my parents wearing their slippers. Last year I made my mom, Nancy, a pair of multi colored slippers. She said they were the best pair I have made her. ...
Wednesday Wash #2: January Scrubbie
This year I am posting a new pattern for a cloth of some kind each Wednesday. People have seemed to enjoy our first one of the year, "Jan Washcloth". This week's scrubbie is very similar, but made with 2 strands held together and a J hook. One end is left open so your hand can slide inside to make scrubbing easier. Watch for 2 more cloths in this set, one each Wednesday this month. JAN ...
T Shirt Tuesday #1: 13th Birthday Shirt
Our youngest son, and snappy model, Hayden turned 13 recently. He has LOVED helping come up with t shirt ideas over the past few months so I wanted to make him a special t shirt. Last year for his birthday we gave him a shirt that had "(the square root of 144) years old". He had a lot of fun wearing that shirt. Since that shirt didn't fit anymore... in more ways than one... I made him a new ...
Wednesday Wash #1: Jan Washcloth
I love making washcloths, hanging towels and scrubbies. They are a great project for in the car and waiting rooms. I try to whip up several throughout the year and build a stash for last minute gifts. A few years ago I featured and designed a different cloth or scrubbie each week the entire year. This year, as I gear up to celebrate my fiftieth birthday in May, I thought it would be fun to do ...
Happy New Year!
These specials have ended. Watch for more specials and giveaways throughout the year. Another year comes to an end which finds me at one of my most favorite times of the year. I LOVE the fresh start of a new year. I can try, once again, to accomplish goals throughout the year. Do you do that? This new year is a BIG one for me as I turn FIFTY in May! WOOHOO. I have been looking forward ...
