Thank you to Repeat Crafter Me for her beautiful, free crochet patterns. I made these for a friend’s son and granddaughter (who happen to be the same age). And my beautiful model … I am taking orders for these. If you are interested, leave a comment and I’ll get back to you with the details.
I have been crocheting blankets to donate for a charity who provides them to orphans in Guatemala. I already a donation of a stack and am now working on another pile. Check out this beauty – it’s bright I know but don’t you think it will brighten someone’s day?
I’ve been a busy crafter. I have been cranking out the Christmas gifts too. I want to have a bit of a show-and-tell. You can find all these patterns for FREE on Ravelry.

I have to say that I am SO proud of myself. I made the kids costumes this year by crocheting a knight and princess costume. Since I had some extra yarn I made treat bags for them too (my first made-up pattern!). The bonus is now I have a space to store the costumes and keep them all together too!
Here is the book photo … And here is my version … My little guy has been so secretive about his knight costume. He had it on and let me snap this photo. I made it big because this way he will be able to both grow into it and wear it over a coat on Halloween night. I also got a shield he made this summer laminated so he can wear it with him and it won’t get wet or ruined. I have enough extra yarn that I may whip up a Halloween trick-or-treat bag in the same colours.
I gave a little tease about the Halloween costumes I was crocheting for the kids. I am almost complete and must admit they DO look amazing. Here are some photos of what I am making the kids.
I’ve got that inspired bug about me. I’m working on the king sized quilt for my parents, finished Travis’s Halloween knight costume (crocheted), I’ve started one for my daughter, and just started organizing my office/craft room. One project for Christmas gift is done and I’m calling today to book our Christmas photos appointment. I know – crazy, right?! This morning I went through papers that were in the “to scrapbook but don’t really know what to do with it” pile and got the kids papers/art sorted by year. The plan is to organize books for each of them with their
I’ve been accomplishing quite a few projects lately, some of which were not on the “to do list” but were so cute I had to do them! I did a baby blanket to give to new baby Adam (a future daycare client!). Great stash-buster of my baby yarns. I also “whipped up” a crayon wreath for the front door. To make the wreath, I purchased a pressed board wreath circle, hot glued a pack of 64 crayons. I added a few school cutouts (apple, school house, school bus) to the top and voila! Instant front door and Back-To-School wreath. My
Isn’t this the most adorable project you’ve ever seen? Thanks to Red Hot Fibers you can get the pattern for free. I’ve been working on some for a friend but they keep disappearing as my little ones play with them. Guess we’re getting a set, too!
I am making this adorable Easy Crochet Poncho for Ava. I had about half of one panel done when I realised that I had made it more “yellow” than blue. I felt a little ill when I had to frog (rippit rippit) what I had done and not for an error in crocheting but in changing the colour order. These are the colours I am using to be similar to the blue version. I couldn’t find the exact brand and colours of the yarn in the pattern (blue, yellow, green). When I first started to make it I had used
