Gifting

· categorized in Crochet Patterns,

I love gifts. And I love giving them. It is a secret of mine (ok, well not anymore) that I LOVE giving handmade gifts to little girls and see their little eyes light up. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really enjoy the flowered and lacy and really cute things when I was a girl that …

Odds and Ends

This project is good in so many ways. You can brighten your winter with warm colorful accessories and address your yarn stash at the same time. I’ve heard most crocheters and knitters have a common problem in small balls of leftover yarn from various projects. It’s certainly true for me, mine tend to unroll and …

Don’t Be a Rain Cloud!

On Second Thought… And Another Thought

· categorized in Uncategorized,

A sad confession. Remember the No-Oven Muffins a couple posts back? Well, turns out they weren’t such a good idea. I retract my statement that you can make muffins without an oven and will stick to quick breads in the bread machine. My crock-pot broke. The ceramic cracked and split with a very small bump …

Something it’s Not

You should see the exciting new sweater I got at the thrift store for $1! Now before you call me crazy, let me explain. Yes, I’m pregnant but there’s still no way that this thing would ever fit me. It’s very wide. But it’s still a great find and I’ll tell you why. It’s a …
