Hey there!

Recently I discovered my love of making appliques! I love being able to use my creativity to create a form of art and the fact that my medium is yarn…that just blows my mind. I used to draw and paint when I was younger, but I never imagined I’d be able to turn a drawing into something tangible.

Happy almost Easter!

Isn’t it fun to decorate the eggs at Easter time? My boys always have a blast making a huge mess all over my kitchen table, dye and vinegar everywhere! I don’t mind though. It’s fun just watching them have fun.

Hey there!

Spring is just around the corner and I cannot wait! St. Patrick’s Day seems to be a confirmation that, yes, indeed, winter is coming to a close and there is a light at the end of this frigid tunnel.

But, besides that, who doesn’t love St. Patrick’s Day? Ireland — beautiful. Luck — everyone can use that. Gold — wish I had some. Green beer — well…I don’t know about that one. 😛

Hanging Mittens

Well hey there!

I just had to share this pattern for these adorable little hanging mittens!

There are actually a ton of uses for them. Off the top of my head, I came up with gift topper, gift card holder, hanging decoration for home or office, tree decoration, fill them with candy for small children and I’m pretty sure the size is great for the tiny hands of 1 or 2-year-olds as actual gloves!

And this week, I’ve created the Christmas edition of the crochet wreaths I’ve been designing for all of you!
