Felt Coffee Cozies

· categorized in Sewing Tutorials,

Yes, more cozies. No this is not the end of cozies posts. (That just sounds weird.) Here’s the crochet coffee cozies I made if you missed that and wonder what I’m talking about. A short time after making these I decided that crochet gifts were taking too long started sewing them. I was so happy …

Colorful Crochet Balls

Having a son has taught me many things. One of them is that spherical shapes are awesome! A little boy can, apparently, never have enough balls to throw around… and they will throw them and kick them and hit them with things… sometimes for hours! This year I crocheted some balls for a family of …

Merry Randomness

This time of year I wish I could crochet as fast as this lady can knit. No, really. I’ve been applying some of her tips to crochet, since she knits with the continental method, and am impressed so far. So, if you are crocheting presents and wish they’d go faster… or just want to be …

Peppermint Chocolate Chip Scones

· categorized in Food,

When I’m not occupied with the kids, crocheting, sewing, knitting, etc. sometimes I’m baking and cooking. It’s been a few weeks since I baked anything except our usual bread. So I thought I’d try something new. And I’ll share my recipe finding approach. When I’m inspired to cook or bake something new this is what …
