One of my favorite parts about crochet or hobbies in general is the people we get to meet and friendships we create. I have been blessed (yep, definitely a miracle in my life) to have extraordinary people come into my life because of crochet. Some have a bigger impact than others. A couple of years ago I met a sweet lady and through messages and social media posts we became friends. She was ... [ Read More ]
Free Pattern: Heavy Duty Utility Bag for Dirty Jobs
Something SHOCKING happened. My husband decided he needed a heavy duty mesh bag to keep all of the sewer hose connectors (EW) for our trailer. At the same time, I was making another large plant hanger for my father in law who loved the ones I had given him the year before. These are made with two strands Red Heart Nylon held together and works really well. After looking all over for just the ... [ Read More ]
Free pattern: Panda Lovey
One of my designer friends, Nadia of Yarnutopia, is expecting a baby. We are part of group with Red Heart Yarns called Joy Creators. The rest of our group wanted to help her celebrate the new baby. Marly Bird helped organize a surprise for Nadia by making arrangements for each of us to send a gift that would be opened at the family baby shower. I am so glad I got to be part of it. Nadia chose ... [ Read More ]
Free Pattern: TP and Bag Holders
Every spring through fall I end up crocheting things to help make life easier while in our travel trailer and in the car. Last summer I made a mesh bag...yes another one... to solve a storage problem in our bathroom. There was absolutely no place to put the extra toilet paper except in the utility closet in the main area. I made a bag to hold up to the mega rolls. For some reason we end up with ... [ Read More ]

I used to tole paint a lot and when painting melons I would always start with pink in the middle and work my way to deeper reds toward ... [ Read More ]
Free Pattern: Warrior Stuffies
Growing up I had a “worry stone” to rub when we traveled because I would get so worried about everything. Lately I have realized how much more there is to worry about. Whether it is my kids being far away or friends struggling with illness or just life in general, there seems to be a lot of stressors. It is so easy to let life take over. As I was making these they took on personalities and I ... [ Read More ]
Free Pattern: Spring Bibs
This week I added the crochet patterns for my Spring Hanging Towels and Spring Cloths to my blog. In the past, people have mentioned how cute the cloths would be as baby bibs. Well, this week another awesome peep mentioned that so I had to give it a try. I LOVE how they turned out. My baby Lucy doesn't like wearing bibs so these cuties are flying to a special friend. Hopefully she will share a ... [ Read More ]

Happy February! By this time each year I am ready for COLOR so Valentine's Day is a great way to brighten life. S Growing up, my mom always had a special Valentine-y gift for each of us at the breakfast table. I always loved seeing the hearts, reds and pinks.
