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 […]
Free Pattern: Heart Pocket and Purse
I thought these little hearts would be a cute container for candy, hair clips, erasers, rings, little toys, money and more. It is also the right size for a teddy bear to hug. Every Valentine’s Day growing up my mom had a cute little gift waiting for us at breakfast. There is still time to […]
Free Pattern: Super Stripes Baggies
While on vacation, I found the new Super Saver Primary and Neon Stripes yarns by Red Heart Yarns. I hadn’t seen them before and squealed right there in the store. Whenever in a store that “might” have yarn, I always have to check. I grabbed one skein of each and had the perfect project in […]
Free Pattern: Bag Keeper
One of my most used handmade items is a large grocery bag holder. I am sure you have seen these before. There are lots of patterns available. It is super handy for storing all the bags so they aren’t all over the place, plus easy to get them out. The nice part is you can […]
Free Pattern: Bath Scrubby Bag
My son loves the little water squirter bath toys and needed a bag to put them in to dry between baths. I thought I would try Red Heart Scrubby yarn so he can use it as a loofah during the bath too. It turned out just how I’d hoped! Some have asked if the yarn […]

Free Pattern: Plant Holder
Red Heart sent me some of their new cordial yarn and I wanted to make something I could use in my yard. I decided on a pot hanger (hence the super original name of my pattern). The hanger can slip over a carabiner (clip that opens) or something similar. I wanted to be able to […]
Free Pattern: Auto Caddy Bags
I like my car to stay organized, especially while on road trips. When I crochet, I am always misplacing my hooks and supplies because there is never a good place for them. A couple years ago I decided I needed a little pouch hanging from the car door. I remembered these cup holders from when […]
Free Pattern: Peppermint Purse
I first designed these with fur to look like the trees from the Lorax (LOVE that show!). One of my awesome testers made these peppermint swirl versions…aren’t they SWEET?! Thank you to Shaunna Hallsson for making these samples and sharing with us. The FREE pattern includes instructions for making the purses with long straps […]
Free Pattern: American Car Tote Bag
A pet peeve of mine is garbage in the car. After searching for a “cute” garbage bag for my car, I decided to make my own. As I thought through it, a flag came to mind and we love Americana things. I made this one for my dad for Father’s Day. It is a great […]
