One of my most used handmade items is a large grocery bag holder. I am sure you have seen these before. There are lots of patterns available. It is super handy for storing all the bags so they aren’t all over the place, plus easy to get them out. The nice part is you can […]

Free Pattern: Matching Headband and Mitts, a favorite set for gifts
I made this pack for a quick solution to last minute gifts. I wanted a slightly chunky headband and mitt set with a fun texture for my family and friends. These whip up in just a few hours and the set takes less then 2 skeins of Lion Brand Tweed Stripes. Other yarns may be […]
Free Pattern: Tissue Cover
I like having a pack of tissue in my bag, but they always end up smooshed. These little covers are so quick to whip up (less than an hour from start to finish) and make wonderful gifts. I made a bunch for some wonderful ladies I know. Pocket Tissue Cover Click HERE to add to […]
Tip: Be a Craft Fair Success
I hear it all the time… I’m doing my first craft fair and I have no idea what to do. What do I make? How much stuff do I need? Will I make enough money to make it worth it? Craft fairs can be a great place to sell your handmade items if you have […]
Free Pattern: Plant Holder
Red Heart sent me some of their new cordial yarn and I wanted to make something I could use in my yard. I decided on a pot hanger (hence the super original name of my pattern). The hanger can slip over a carabiner (clip that opens) or something similar. I wanted to be able to […]
Free Pattern: Auto Caddy Bags
I like my car to stay organized, especially while on road trips. When I crochet, I am always misplacing my hooks and supplies because there is never a good place for them. A couple years ago I decided I needed a little pouch hanging from the car door. I remembered these cup holders from when […]
Free Pattern: Swiss Cheesy Quick and Easy Cowl
As a knitter, I often try to recreate knit stitches in crochet. I have been playing with one lately and I love how it turned out in this cowl. I guess it could be called an infinity scarf because it is kind of in between. I rarely make things for myself, but I love how […]
Free Pattern: Sunday Mornings Scarf
I’m addicted to scarves lately. I don’t have a neck so I can’t wear big, bulky ones. Last Sunday morning I couldn’t sleep so I decided to try a new design I’ve had in my head. I wanted a scarf I could throw on with casual clothes on the weekend. Something simple, yet classy looking. I […]
Free Pattern: Celebration Headband
For the Fourth of July I wanted to whip up a simple headband for my niece to wear. The band is meant to tie behind the head. It is light and airy, perfect for year round. It is also fun tied around a sun hat. Want to save this for later? CLICK HERE to add it to your favorites […]
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 […]
