  • Dollar Tree Autumn Welcome Wreath

    So this project happened when my husband and I got our first house in the spring of 2021. I wanted something to take my mind off of the endless wedding planning (posts about that to come later), and something that I could hang on our front door because the front of the house looked very…

  • Over Collar Dog Bandana

    Hello again! I’m trying to work through a lot of the old projects from being out, so this one was from back in 2021. My husband and I got a puppy back in 2021. His name is Domino! This is a picture of him when we first brought him home. Isn’t he cute?! ❤ So…

  • Grid Table Runner

    Hello there friends! Today I’m bringing you a fun one! Or at least… I think it’s fun. And my husband did too. This was his birthday present a couple years ago. I used a few fat quarters in three different prints (crystals, succulents, and crystal/succulents with lizards). Fat quarters are a piece of fabric you…

  • Hello! I’m Still Alive!

    So I’m sure that you may be wondering… “What the heck happened?! You fell off the face of the earth for like 3 years!” Well… You’d be right. I honestly have no excuse other than… I didn’t post anything. I still made crafts (quite a lot of them, actually). I did have some major life…

  • Chicken Scratch Butterfly

    Most Chicken Scratch Embroidery (a.k.a Gingham Embroidery) involves using white thread on a colored (often red) gingham cotton fabric. I decided to take a regular cotton shirt and add some nice butterflies and flowers to it. But I wanted them to pop a little more. This is a more traditional Chicken Scratch look. The embroidery…

  • Chicken Scratch Clover

    A year or two ago, my mom introduced me to an interesting form of needlepoint called “Chicken Scratch” or “Gingham Embroidery.” It is a mix of cross stitching and embroidery techniques done on a plaid (often gingham) piece of fabric. I personally LOVE how this technique looks. Depending of what color thread you use and…

  • Crochet Roses

    These little roses are probably one of my favorite crochet flower patterns. First of all, because they are super simple and easy to whip up. Second of all, because they look really nice when they are finished. The pattern itself is all of two or three rows (depending on if you count the foundation chain…

  • Chunky Storage Basket

    This project started because of two reasons. (1) I had a lot of chunky yarn I received from a few different people as gifts. And (2) my supervisor at work was moving to a different department. So what else do you do for someone, except bake a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and crochet them…

  • Lorax Ear Flap Hat

    This project was kind of a hit-or-miss. It originated when a previous coworker told me that her daughter was having a baby and the baby shower was going to be Dr. Seuss themed. She asked me to make a hat for her to give to her daughter. My original thought was the Lorax because that…

  • Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

    First of all, who doesn’t like banana muffins? (If you don’t, I’m sorry, and maybe you should give this recipe a try before you continue saying you don’t like them.) So, my family has their banana bread recipe that EVERYONE uses. You know those kinds of recipes? They start with one person, and then everyone…
