This fall I made a wrap for my patriotic throw pillows so they would be more fall and cozy. Now that I am putting out my Christmas decorations I wanted a more festive look for those same pillows. A simple reindeer and nubby texture did the trick! (wait til you see the one for the other end of my couch!) Snappy Reindeer Pattern An ad-free,
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!

Each year at Christmas I wish I had a pile of handmade things to give as gifts. I start each year with a resolution to make gifts throughout the year.

Since it was his last year in elementary school there were a few previous teachers and staff members we wanted to thank
Daisies are my favorite flower so when I wanted to add some cute pillows and a placemat to my new swing setting I decided to design snappy daisy. It worked out great and can be made in any choice of colors. I have included instructions for making 2 sizes. Both sizes can be placemats and pillows. This pattern was designed as part of the CAL Central
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.
