It's always a good time to show off our patriotic spirit, but summer is a must. While creating this little eagle, I couldn't decide if I wanted her to be a mail tote to hang by my door or a pillow for my bench. She makes me smile and I hope you will enjoy her too. Red Heart Yarns had sent me some of their new Super Saver Chunky yarn in patriotic colors so I had to make a big sister for her ...
Beanies For Bravery: Sending Hats to Soldiers
Over the past few days I have done a lot of thinking about why I crochet and what I enjoy most about crocheting. It is the joy and peace I receive in making something others enjoy. I also love seeing the things people make for gifts and especially those things they donate to charity. From 2011-2017 we collected handmade things to send to U.S. soldiers serving overseas. This project has touched ...

I knew I wanted to add a cute crochet saying so I asked in my facebook group for ...
Free Printables for Tracking Handmade Projects
Have you ever made a hat that turned out just right or had someone request another pair of slippers just like the ones you made them the year before? Sometimes remembering the yarn, size and pattern can be tricky. I wish I had kept a record of each project I have made since I started crocheting and knitting. Now I have a notebook (I'm a paper girl, but a spreadsheet would be even better) with ...
DIY Easy Lightbox Tiles
Every holiday I always struggle to find just the right gift for the occasion. This year as Mother's Day came around I knew what I wanted to give my mom and mother in law. The gift turned out even better than I had hoped! At Christmas time I gave my daughter a light box and an extra set of tiles. The light box comes with 80-100 Letters, Smiles & Symbols. It was so cute that I wanted one too ...
