It’s been a while since I’ve shown off some of my latest projects – and I can’t believe I never posted about the other chemo hats I made for my sister-in-law! Way back in April, I mentioned how I made one hat just to see how the smaller size would work for someone that had […]

FO Friday – pincushions & a tutorial!
I have one final Christmas project to show you! And then I’m done with 2014 – I promise 🙂 Each year some crafty friends and I make something special for one another. Two of them are exceptional crafters so sometimes it’s a little difficult figuring out what to make. They’re all sewers so this year […]
FO Friday – Happy Birthday Sis!
My sister received her birthday gift this week so now I can talk about it 🙂 At Thanksgiving, she requested that I make her a new hat and mittens to replace this set: The mittens I made in 2007 – one of the first few projects after I learned to crochet. I lined them with […]
FO Friday – Christmas reveal
Finally! I can show off all the wonderful things I made at the end of the year but didn’t want the recipients to see! In no particular order … I planned to keep things simple this year and just buy gifts instead of stressing myself out to make them. Â I think that lasted from October […]
WIP Friday – secret projects
I have nothing finished this week. It seems like I’ve been hard at work. I’ve been pushing hard to get Little Chick’s “Anna” cape finished. Â Miles and miles of stockinette mean that I can only work on it for about 30 minutes at a time before I start to go stir-crazy. I’m currently working on the […]
FO Friday – the beginning of Advent
It’s beginning to look like Christmas in our household! I waited until the last minute (of course) to figure out what to do for an Advent calendar. Last year we used one my mother had picked up that contained 25 different ornaments. This year though with Little Chick getting older, I wanted to make sure […]
FO Friday – baby washcloths
I may only have an almost-4-year-old daughter, but most of our friends have children that are much older – and some are empty nesters. One of those friends has a daughter who was married last fall and is expecting a child just after the new year! It’s hard to believe because I’ve known Bonnie since […]
Father’s Day 2014
Anyone who knows us is aware of just how much Papa and Little Chick love each other. I don’t always get my act together for events like Father’s Day but this year I wanted to do something special. Little Chick isn’t old enough to contribute a whole lot, but we had fun with these […]
FO Friday – Christmas hats
I can finally show off what I’ve been up to the last month! I decided to make hats for all the great-nieces and nephews this year. Well, almost all. I have two nieces that are in South Carolina and need hats as much as I need a bathing suit this time of year. This was […]
FO Friday – Patriotic hat
My love of making hats continues. They are just so quick to make. I’m a faster crocheter than knitter, so this one only took me a couple of hours one night to whip up! The color on top is a little hard to determine but trust me, it’s navy blue. The original pattern only showed […]
