The Beckett Baby Blanket

Hello Friends...here's an adorable and easy baby blanket I recently made for my nephew to be. Pattern details here.

Stockpiling Gifts

Hello Friends...I find you have to start early if you want to make gifts for the upcoming holiday season.  I love crochet dishcloths, they are so quick and easy to make.  This set of three are actually a Birthday gift, but maybe it will inspire me to get working for Christmas.

Holiday Crunch Time

Anyone else feeling the crunch of the holidays?  I'm a bit of a procrastinator and I always have overly ambitious ideas of what can realistically achieved in time for the holidays.  Cooking, decorating, baking, making gifts...not to mention shopping, cleaning, etc.  Well, I did manage to pump a set of dishcloths out as a gift.  They are so pretty and make a great hostess gift...

Flower Cushion

Hello friends...my daughter has a friend at school who recently broke her leg skiing and so, the sweet thing that my little girl is, she wanted to make something for her friend.   Totally her idea to make a pillow...I just helped out with the details and sewing on some cute little crochet floral appliques that I had made awhile back.  She did all the stitching herself.  We used a cut off from some drapes that we had at the old house and some craft stuffing.  It was my first attempt at sewing on appliques....they didn't turn out exactly as I wanted, but seeing as this project was "urgent", I did the best I could...

The choice of flowers to use were my daughter's entirely as was the positioning.
