Happy Projects by Favorite Designers: Vol. 4

It is so wonderful when you come across happy, positive people who genuinely try to help those around them. I have grown as a person and designer because of the many outstanding people I have met through crochet, crafting and yes, social media. I am on a quest to create some happy moments and would […]

Weekly Wash #21: Sweet Frosting Dishcloth

A few years ago I designed a “Flower Power Cloth” that is a unique hanging towel. I love the texture of it and have wanted to make a matching dishcloth. This texture and wavy edge reminds me of frosting. Watch for another hanging towel coming soon to match this with even more sweet frosting. Sweet […]

Free Pattern: Toothy Grin

A Mr. Chesh mask for dress up or when a face covering is needed. In June, my youngest son Hayden (13) and I are flying to Texas to help my daughter and granddaughter, Lucy, move back to Utah so they can get settled before she starts a new job. My son in law is finishing […]

Weekly Wash #20: Monster Sponge

Lately, I have seen several of my monsters popping up that people have been making. I LOVE them all! I had picked up some sponges at the store (pack of three for under $2) and thought they would be cute monster sponges. Watch for more faces and hair to come. Monster Sponge The free pattern […]

Weekly Wash #19: Bee Square

Growing up, my mom always had “trivets” we used under warm dishes. Most of ours were ones she had sewn because she owned a fabric store and is a wonderful seamstress. I often wish I had cute trivets to use instead of stained hot pads. Last year I designed a “Spring Sampler” blanket made from […]

Weekly Wash #18: Buggy Scrubbers

These are designed to slip over jumbo net scrubbers. I understand these jumbo scrubbers might not be available everywhere so I will be releasing a smaller version to slip over the smaller net scrubbers too. I also have included instructions for a “no net” version where you will sew two crocheted layers together instead of […]

Weekly Wash #17: Spiral Scrubbers

Today I finally talked my husband into taking me to a local attraction, “the Spiral Jetty”. It is about an hour from my house and something people come from all over to see. I have lived here my entire life and up until about 15 years ago I had no idea it even existed. This […]

Weekly Wash #16: Drop Down Towel

This cloth has become my new favorite one. It whips up quickly because it has an easy repeat to remember plus it has a thick texture. It is designed to match my “Bee Happy Hanging Towel“. It starts the same as that towel does so it makes a nice set. This is similar to my […]

Weekly Wash #15: Daisy Hanging Towel

Each year I do a few dishcloth swaps with amazing people I have met online. It is one of the funnest parts of my year to receive all of the cloths from across the United States and seeing what they created. As part of these swaps I design a special cloth for the event. This […]
