When I designed my “Santa’s Reindeer Scarf” I fell in love with all of the little reindeer. I knew I wanted to make them into little bags and other things. I think the possibilities are endless! They would make cute coasters, pillows (alone or sewn together) and more. If you make something from these little guys please share a picture with me. Reindeer Squares Pattern
This summer, while on our way to Mount Rushmore, I realized I had left my water bottle at home. I like to have one with a short handle to hang from my truck door. We do have lots of cup holders, but this is close and handy… plus my husband tends to hog the other ones in the front. So it was just a matter
A couple of years ago I made some pot hangers for gifts. My father in law requested some bigger ones this year. The yarns I have used in the past have been discontinued so I searched for something new to try. Red Heart Nylon did the trick! I held 2 strands together throughout and I love how it turned out.

I think everyone can use a few pockets for a notepad, pens, gum, tissues or our phone. This little organizer is great for hanging in a locker, by your desk or even your car. This also makes a great gift and is perfect for craft fairs because it is fairly quick to make and works for almost anyone. I designed this project as part of
If you are one of the estimated 14-20 million people (GreatAmericanEclipse) who will see the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, you will need to make sure you have the proper glasses and lots of water. We live just outside the path, but it seems like everyone around us, plus TONS from even further will be making the trek to see this awesome event.
Have you ever gotten tired of everything in your tote ending up in a big pile in the bottom that you have to rummage through to find anything? It drives me nuts! I have a tote I use on Sundays and every week I have an inner freak out moment because it is so unorganized. Problem Solved! I’ve fixed the problem for my tote and
Yarn just doesn’t get any more colorful than the new “Bright Stripes” by Red Heart Yarns. I opened a box last week, started giggling and heard “mom must have gotten yarn in the mail again” from the other room. Oh how well they know me! I immediately thought “FISH” when I saw the colors. Wouldn’t this make the most brilliant fish? I actually needed a
Every summer we spend a lot of time in our travel trailer. I am always needing a bag for something. Whether it’s for a project, change of clothes, snacks or something else, I can never have enough bags. On our last trip, I decided I would try out a skein of the new Red Heart Super Saver Ombre and make a bag I could fit almost
I always seem to need pockets in different places to keep me from losing things; in the car, bathroom, kitchen, etc. I came up with this little pocket organizer, based on a hanging kitchen towel. If we can hang those where a towel is needed, why not pockets where they are needed too? Looking for something similar? Auto Caddy American Car Tote Want to save
Every once in awhile the planets align and a project turns out even better than imagined. I am LOVING the new Red Heart Soft Essentials yarn and had some purple skeins to use. I LOVE bags and have been wanting “the perfect project tote”. One that I can just grab and take in the car. Big enough for a skein or two, my travel supply bag
