It’s no secret. I LOVE Halloween and crocheting projects for this time of year. When putting out my Halloween decorations I realized I didn’t have a Frankenstein to put outside. I have a cute luminary to hang on my shepherd’s hook throughout the year. I decided that is what I wanted to make. I hope […]

Weekly Wash #33: Scrubby Friends
I have a bunch of odds and ends of cotton yarn at the end of each summer. I whipped up some little scrubby friends to help make dishes and bath time more fun. I think these would be great for stocking stuffers, gift baskets and craft fairs too. Scrubby Friends Crochet Pattern The free pattern […]
Free Pattern: Bumble Bug Set
I used to have a booth in a local shop and these little bags and matching headbands sold out quickly. They can be used for so many things for a variety of people, plus the “headbands” are cute wrapped around jars, packages, and other decorations. I have also had people use them as bookmarks. I […]
Free Pattern: Firework Solar Covers
Solar lights are a great way to light up the paths in your yard. My dad often picks up cute seasonal ones for me from our Dollar Tree. I have those across the front of my yard and switch them out for the different holidays and seasons. I’ve always wanted to make some that looked […]
Weekly Wash #24: Hard-Working Cloths

But, let’s face it, some cloths are too pretty for scrubbing dishes and many take some concentration to make. These little “hard-working cloths” […]
Weekly Wash #23: Bee Happy Hanging Towel

This bumblebee hanging towel button around a towel bar, oven handle, fridge handle and can even hang on a hook. Bee Happy Hanging Towel Pattern The crochet pattern for this towel is available for free below.A downloadable, […]
Weekly Wash #8: Lucky Washcloths
There are lots of crochet patterns for washcloth/dishcloths. My favorites are ones that whip up quickly, can be made on a road trip without a lot of concentration and are thick and strong. I got lucky (hence the name… plus St. Patrick’s Day is on my mind lately) and these turned out to fit all […]
Weekly Wash #7: Twisted Scrubbie
Crocheted poufs are one of those things that I really like the finished project, but making them takes WAY longer than I want to spend on something I am going to use to wash the dishes or arm pits. Some even take an enormous amount of yarn and can be tricky to make. After trying […]
