I have an oldie, but a goodie for you today from my previous blog! It’s a take on a traditional circle mandala but by using different colors placed strategically on the mandala, it resembles a dartboard. Genius I say! See for yourself below and make one today to adorn your game room or office space….
Purses, totes, bags…..Whatever you want to haul your essentials around in, this project will do just that! Don’t let the name fool you though, this purse can be made and used in all seasons. I originally designed this pattern back in March when all the signs of Spring were blooming. I wanted to name it…
If you hadn’t heard the latest on new yarns released by Yarnspirations, they’ve recently released a special variant of their popular Bernat Maker yarn called Bernat Maker Outdoor. This yarn is constructed similarly to the original Bernat Maker that we know and love (tube like yarn lightly stuffed inside to give it volume), the main…
Salutations! I’ve got a delightful green baby blanket pattern to share with you all today!

How many of my crafty friends out there love Halloween?!? I think in some way or another, everyone has a positive affiliation to the fun and spook-filled holiday. Whether it’s dressing up yourself or your kids, handing out candy, visiting a haunted house, partaking in a fall festival, or going all out with the gory…
Wow! Can you believe October is finally here? Bring on the cool temps, fallen leaves, pumpkin spice and continued desire to knit and crochet ALL THE THINGS! In complete contrast to the season we’re currently in, I was struck to design this ocean inspired bath rug back when the weather was warm and sunny, and…
For the last several months, I’ve been toying with the idea of teaching crochet classes locally, but haven’t made the leap to do so just yet. I wanted to prepare myself for such a venture and while I have many, many years experience crocheting, I don’t really have any formal teaching experience. I did some research…
I don’t know about you all, but I’ve got to have my coffee first thing in the morning to really get the day going. To that degree, I almost never have time to brew any before I hustle out of the house, kids in tow to drop off at daycare, and make my way to…
