Yepthis is dishcloth Monday.  However, I did not get a dishcloth made.  This week was a crazy busy week.  Then on Friday my cousin got married and my girls were flower girls.  Then on Saturday I went into town and […]

This week’s dishcloth is #15 from the book Dishcloths In the Round.  It is really an easy one but looks pretty when finished.  And as a bonus it will dry quickly.  The matching scrubby I didn’t use the pattern […]

Okay, this has been a busy week for me.  I did get a dishcloth done, but no scrubby.  This one came out smaller than I would like and if I made it a second time I would use a larger hook and maybe do another […]

Tomorrow my girls and I are going to a bridal shower.  For fun I came up with the idea to make a “Recipe for a Successful Marriage” box.  The idea is to decorate an index card box and then hand out index cards to […]

My sixth afghan for 2012 is from a kit from Mary Maxim.  It’s called the Marcelle and it is a wonderful kit.  The afghan is beautiful and the kit had enough yarn to complete it.  I chose French Vanilla for mine […]

The fifth afghan completed for this year is made from a great pattern called Down in the Valley.  The pattern was super easy to follow.  I used Loops & Threads Charisma for mine and added a reverse single crochet […]

My fourth afghan is another simple granny that I made for my third daughter.  I used two 12 inch squares made from the Winter Rose Sampler Square  that I slip stitched together.  Then I worked a granny around the […]

My number 3 afghan for 2012 is one that I started a couple years ago.  Somehow it got buried in a craft bin in the garage.  I have no idea how, but I suspect it was when I was in the midst of a decluttering […]

Here is my second afghan.  It’s a baby afghan and a very popular pattern.  It’s called the Tiramisu and it’s really easy to make.  My version has a crocheted chain instead of the ribbon and crocheted flowers […]

Today is my third son’s birthday.  He is 14 years old today.  Fourteen years ago I was feeling a bit crampy cleaning the garage with my husband.  We finished cleaning the garage and I was still feeling crampy.  My […]

Where I live we have very hard water.  Because of this hard water I have battled trying to keep my bathtubs clean.  I might add it’s been a losing battle.  The mineral deposits and soap scum accumulate faster than […]

I seamed my Bernat afghan and still don’t really like it.  But my daughter does and it will be hers after I give it a border.  The border that Bernat planned is just a sc border.  Nothing fancy.  I was hoping for […]

Okay, I have been sick, sick, sick all week long and I’m late with CAL Wednesday.  So sorry.  This week on the Bernat CAL they revealed the design.  Totally not my cup of tea.  I don’t feel symmetry with it at […]

My wooleater is still in hibernation.  I’ll probably pick it up and work a bit on it this week.   I can’t guarantee it though, I seem to be so easily distracted.

This week the Bernat CAL is having a week to […]

Today’s dishcloth is a snowflake   Winter’s Dream is an easy and fast pattern to crochet.

I think I would have liked it much better in a solid color.  The pattern for the scrubby is found here.

I have tried may different types of hook cases.  The folder type, the roll type, a thingie that rolled up and the hooks slid between the rolls and stood on end, a thing I crocheted that goes over a coffee mug and has pockets, and a plastic box.  The folder type and roll type I just [...]

So my wooleater is STILL in hibernation.  And it will be probably for several more weeks. I did complete my Bernat CAL clue for this week .  I was sick so not a great picture.  But they are done.  I’m looking forward to the clue for this week which will be another octogon.  After Clue #6 the rest [...]
