Who would have thought this temperature blanket would be such a fun project? I can’t believe I managed to keep up with my colors and jot down the temperatures of whatever city I was in at 3pm each day. I must confess that there were times I did let a week go by without crocheting, but I would sit and do 7 days together and catch myself up. I convinced my mother and aunt to make temperature blankets with me[Read more]

My biggest problem with crochet baskets are that depending on the stitch, the yarn, the gauge, it can be floppy. BUT…. it doesn’t have to be!!! I had this leftover[Read more]

Then I realized I could do something similar with crochet and butcher twine! You could use cotton yarn, but it would stretch with the weight of the planter and butcher twine is so much sturdier. So if you’d love to have a gorgeous kitchen accent hanging by your sink like I do, then this is your[Read more]
