Happy February! By this time each year I am ready for COLOR so Valentine’s Day is a great way to brighten life. S Growing up, my mom always had a special Valentine-y gift for each of us at the breakfast table. I always loved seeing the hearts, reds and pinks. With those memories in mind, […]
Free Pattern: Reindeer Squares Pouch
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 […]
Free Pattern: Snappy Friend Water Bottle Holder
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 […]
Free Pattern: Large Plant Holder
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 […]

Free Pattern: Bright Stripes Backpack
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 […]
Free Pattern: Market Tote in a Cinch
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 […]
Free Pattern: Keep It Handy Organizer
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.
