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 ...
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 ...
Free Crochet Pattern: Snow More Pain Cold and Heat Pack
We use rice packs and "hot hands" all winter long. I thought it would be cute to make a wintery snowman cover for a rice pack that could be used hot and cold. Isn't he cute? Hot, Cold or Stuffed This frosty guy is designed to slip over a heat/cold rice pack. He could be stuffed and used for decoration. I love snowmen. I fill my living room with them in December and they stay as long ...
Free Pattern: Gnome Luminary
Gnomes have been one of my mom's favorites since I was little. On vacations to the Oregon Coast she would tell use she could see gnomes in the trees and tell us stories about them. She really made them come to life. Since gnomes are popular lately I thought it would be fun to make one into a luminary cover. It slips over a mason jar and I put a battery operated tea light inside. It could be ...
