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…
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…
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…
I’m sure we’ve all seen those lovely bowl cozies that you can put in the microwave so that the bowl won’t burn your fingers when you take it out. (And if you haven’t, you really need to try them; I use them for anything that I eat from a bowl that is hot.) Well, my…
So, not many of my projects are for specifically for me, but this one was. I wanted something big, warm, and blanket-like that I could wear. Because who doesn’t like to be cuddled up in a nice blanket at all hours of the day? Seriously, best feeling ever. Anyway, I did some looking around and…

My mother was a quilter. She made each of her five children a quilt at one point or another. I still have mine (it’s seen some wear and tare and doesn’t look even half as nice as when she gave it to me when I was seven or eight, but I still have it). When…
For anyone in the United States who has been to Aldi’s, you know that you need to bring your own bag. If you don’t live in the US, or have never been to Aldi’s, then here’s your warning. You need to bring your own bag. Now, I generally make sure to have my own reusable…
The crocodile stitch can be used for quite a variety of projects. Here, I was attempting to create a dice bag for my Magic the Gathering dice. (Side note, say hello to the turtles! Leo, Mikey, Raph, and Donna.) The first attempt at making the dice bag ended up a LOT bigger than I thought…
