A baby shower was planned for one of my niece’s last week.  When I got the invitation I remembered seeing a pattern for a bootie bouquet that would be perfect for her. I searched and searched until I found the pattern available for purchase and download at e-Patterns Central.  (pattern link here, I get no [...]

I decided it was time to try a stitch pattern I had not done before. I pulled out some worsted weight pink and some brown yarn that I used to make hats and a baby sweater.    Thus, a star was born. It is 42inches tip to tip across.  I was concerned there was a [...]

I have been trying to use up some of my stash and postpone trips to the yarn stores. There is an adorable roll brim hat pattern at Suzies Stuff.  It is a wonderful use of sash and fun to make. A little modification and my teddy bear from Build A Bear Workshop has one too. [...]

I was challenged recently to make a teddy bear resemble the comic character of Betty Boop. I crocheted her hair first using a loop stitch. That didn’t work so I tried freeforming a flat piece, and then made long needlepoint type stitches. I added a few loops for spit curls. Her dress is knitted and [...]

Wow, hard to believe but another year has rolled around.  I haven’t blogged in a while because I’ve done upgrades to my computer and forgot how to get the blog settings to post!  Oh well, just gave me more time to get Christmas crafts done. I’ll share of few of them with you here. First [...]
