Free Pattern: Unique Hatband and Headband
My two oldest kids have always burned easily. No matter how much sunscreen we applied, they would always end up with a burn. My daughter, now 22, recently spent the day at an airshow and even tho she put on sunscreen throughout the day she still ended up imitating a lobster. She needed a wide brimmed sun […]

We are anxious to make a seasonal quilt too! Watch for MANY MORE seasonal, holiday and every day items to be added each week. […]
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 […]

Free Pattern: By the Lake Headband
On our trip to Canada this summer, I picked up some colorful yarn I hadn’t seen. Red Heart Grumdrop yarn in Licorice and Rock Candy are both amazing yarns! I wanted an easy project for in the car. I’d been meaning to remake my “mustache headband” to show the beautiful texture. It made a super […]
Free Pattern: Granny Style Baby Blanket
A few weeks ago I received a box of yummy yarns to review for Red Heart. I was so excited to see a fun variety inside. I mostly work with worsted weight yarn, so when I saw “Anne Geddes Baby Yarn” I started thinking about different ways I could use it. I was working on […]
