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 […]

RED HEART YARNS
Weekly Wash #24: Hard-Working Cloths
Yes, I do have this thing about crocheting cloths. They are great little projects to work on almost anywhere and in the car plus they are nice to stash away for gifts. 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
Every summer I find myself designing something with bumblebees and ladybugs. I thought they would make kitchen sets. 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 #19: Sweet Frosting Dishcloth

Free Pattern: Lop and Peep
Last fall, I was asked if I would be interested in trying a new set of yarn. Well, we always love new yarns, right? Of course, I said yes. I was so excited when this pack of “Caron Little Crafties” arrived because these little mini skeins are worsted weight! The little packs I have stumbled […]
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 […]
