FO Friday – lots of chemo hats

Posted on June 12, 2015June 10, 2021by Carmen
ASimpleHomestead.com - 1920's Snowflake Cloche

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!

Posted on January 30, 2015August 10, 2021by Carmen
ASimpleHomestead.com - pincushions

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!

ASimpleHomestead.com - Milwaukee mittens

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

Posted on January 10, 2015August 10, 2021by Carmen

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.  I think that lasted from October […]

WIP Friday – secret projects

Posted on December 12, 2014August 10, 2021by Carmen
ASimpleHomestead.com - Packers headband

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.  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

Posted on December 5, 2014August 10, 2021by Carmen
ASimpleHomestead.com - 2014 Christmas tree

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

Posted on November 28, 2014August 10, 2021by Carmen
ASimpleHomestead.com - Starfish washcloth

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

Posted on June 15, 2014September 8, 2021by Carmen
Father's Day 2014 - Papa's Stache

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

Posted on December 27, 2013October 26, 2021by Carmen
Strib Hat

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

Posted on November 8, 2013May 30, 2019by Carmen
patriotic hat on Cindy

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 […]
