A Crochet Happy Place!
I hope you all are having an amazing spring! I don’t know about you, but I am ready for summer. I’m ready for the beach and swimming. I’m ready for shorts, tank tops and cute totes! Speaking of totes, I have created a super simple and colorful tote pattern. [Read more…]
I can finally feel spring! It is here! I am so enjoying the warmer weather. I love being able to take my boys outside and play. Sometimes it can be overwhelming when you are trying to get things done and your kids are stir crazy because they can’t go outside and run off all that energy! [Read more…]
Lately, I have been teaching the basics of crochet to a few of my friends. Many have asked me to show them how to crochet a hat/beanie. The first beanie I ever crocheted was one that was worked in the round from top down. I decided that this approach was probably the easiest to show them. [Read more…]
I don’t know about you, but I love springtime! The flowers start to bloom, the weather becomes a little warmer and the kids can finally go out and play! Sometimes my boys can get a little stir crazy being inside all the time. It’s nice to go outside and breath in some fresh air! [Read more…]
So if you haven’t figured it out by now, my favorite thing to crochet is beanies. For me, they are by far the easiest and quickest accessory to crochet. I am not a big fan of projects that take up a lot of time. This beanie is incredibly easy to crochet. It is a very quick project as well. If you are running up against time for a gift, this beanie fits the bill! You can make this beanie without the faux fur pom-pom as well. [Read more…]
I know not everyone is a beanie/hat kind of person. Personally, I love when the Winter comes around so I can wear all my winter beanies. My twin sister on the other hand, never wears a beanie. I’m not sure why she doesn’t wear them but it is one thing we do not have in common. I feel that an ear warmer is a good compromise to not wearing a beanie. I plan on giving this ear warmer to my sister for Christmas. Hopefully she will wear it. [Read more…]
Currently, I don’t know how to knit. I actually tried learning how to knit before I learned how to crochet. For some reason I just could not grasp holding two needles together. I wanted to learn because I love the look of knitted pieces. Maybe some day I will learn, but for now I am happy with the look of Tunisian crochet. [Read more…]
Growing up I never liked wearing anything around my neck! Nothing! It was so uncomfortable for me to wear a turtleneck, cowl, or even a scarf. It felt so restricting. Wow, have things changed! lol! I am a person who is cold ALL THE TIME! My husband jokes about how I wear a scarf inside all day because I can never get warm. I do what I gotta do! Right? [Read more…]
A few weeks ago, I went to my brother-in law’s wedding. The wedding was so beautiful! It was an outside garden-style wedding in a tent. Let me tell you, I would never of known I was in a tent, let alone outside! Everything was so gorgeous! I had never been to an outside wedding and really had no idea what kind of dress to wear. Anyone who knows me can tell you I despise dress shopping! I really am my own worst critic I guess. Everything is either too tight, too frilly, too short or shows my belly pooch from my last baby. Yes, it’s been 3 years but I just can’t get rid of it! I shopped EVERYWHERE for a dress! Did I find one? Actually, yes, I did! I found THE DRESS! It was absolutely perfect and got sooo many compliments! The best part? The dress was only $22.99! Well that, and I didn’t have to wear my Spanx 🙂 [Read more…]
Have you seen those beautiful mochila bags on Pinterest? They are so gorgeous with all their wonderful patterns and colorwork, I could look at them all day! It got me thinking, maybe I could create something like that. [Read more…]
