Every October the stores fill their shelves with pink items to create breast cancer awareness. You can get anything pink: staplers, paper, clothing, etc.  I made a pink ribbon shawl for a breast cancer fund raising event.    This shawl was made using Red Heart PINK.  Though a bit rough at first, after completing the [...]

When my grandson was very young I had the pleasure of caring for him while his mother worked.  One of our favorite together time activities was a tea party. We would get out one of my decorative tea pots and make a pot of tea which would be accompanied by a plate of cookies we [...]

I want to organize my craft area.  Currently it is spread throughout the house.  I have so many works in process that I don’t know what I have on the hooks and needles any more. So I started to go through all the various boxes, totes, shopping bags and drawers. Here are a few of [...]

I had a small skein of some yarn in my stash I could not find a use for. While attempting to declutter I found a set of earbuds and a lightbulb went on. With a size E hook and this fun yarn I made single crochet stitches around the cord. Here is what I came [...]

I couldn’t post my projects very much this year as my family reads my posts.  So now that everyone has their gifts I can share with you. One son-in-law is a big Ohio State fan. I found a logo and counted it out on a chart to create this afghan for him. He is over [...]

My granddaughter was visiting last week. She is 3 1/2 and she loves to help in the kitchen.  She wanted to wear an apron like she does at home but I didn’t have one so I use a gator clip and wrapped a tea towel around her. The next day I got busy and searched [...]
