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! 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

This year I wanted our international peeps to be included in the fun so I have designed some monster friends to take on adventures AND spread

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
Let’s add even more color and whimsy to our gardens with Bigger solar flowers. These solar lamps can be picked up at big box stores, garden centers and even dollar stores. I now have three sizes of these flowers (get all of the patterns in ONE handy, dandy downloadable file for just $2). Looking for something similar? Original “Solar Fun Flowers” for round solar
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.
