Bachelor Pads

The men in my family are always the hardest to shop for. Luckily for me, this year both of my brothers just moved into new apartments and one of them got really into cooking. I gave sort of a hybrid humorous housewarming and Christmas present. Camo colored hot pad holders. My mother came up with …

Crochet Hook Organizer

This fun little crochet hook book was my first hook/needle organizer ever. See the others I’ve made plus tutorials HERE and HERE. I made this birdie one back in April for a friend’s birthday and somehow it never ended up on my blog. I got inspiration (and basically followed the tutorial that I found) from …

Snoopy’s Scarf

I’ve had questions about this little guy’s scarf so thought I’d share the pattern. This is a perfect little itty-bitty knitting project for me. It was done really quickly and turned out really cute.

Crochet Coffee Sleeves/Mug cozies.

WHO doesn’t like coffee?! (Well, I don’t. But other than me? No one!) I do know lots of people who do love coffee. And I totally took advantage of that this winter with many made gifts that were coffee sleeves. I made them several many different ways. Here’s a favorite though. I also like that …
