Love Heart Organic Washcloths

I just returned from a whirlwind weekend trip to California for my grandmother's memorial. It was beautiful day and a wonderful celebration of her life.

On the flight home, I made Valentine gifts for my children: love heart washcloths.

These wash cloths were quick and easy to make on the plane. One flight attendant even asked if I could give her a crochet lesson during the flight...but I was exhausted and fell asleep before I had a chance to teach her.

I used this tutorial for the hearts and sewed them to the single crocheted square(ish) washcloths, made from some really soft organic cotton yarn. Love it! 

Now these are packed and ready to take up to Scotland as I get ready for another trip...this one not as far, though. Our two hour flight tomorrow is going to fly by compared to the ten hour flight I just took today!

Recycled Denim Mug Cozy - free crochet pattern

**Click here to access the Recycled Denim Mug Cozy Free Crochet Pattern**

Here is my latest crochet mug cozy design. I used the recycled denim yarn I had originally intended for King Damascus's hat that failed.

I couldn't find any mug cozy crochet patterns online that I loved and I wanted this mug cozy to be more masculine since it was for a guy...my guy.

So, I made my own mug cozy pattern and it's also a free mug cozy crochet pattern for you!

If you'd like to make this mug cozy, click the link below. I'd love to hear how it turns out and please let me know if you have any questions.

Doily Spider & Mouse

Since our watercolor Valentine Card making craft was so successful, we did another kids craft today. After opening a package of doilies that Grandma sent to us, my little creative geniuses got to work. My little girl knew right away she wanted to make a mouse. And there's no surprise when my little guy wanted to make a doily Spiderman spider. They chose their supplies, decorated the doilies, and turned them into two new creatures.

Miss Doily Mouse...

...watch her crawl away.

Mr. Doily Spiderman... 

...watch him crawl away.

Yay!

Rustic

This is an Etsy treasury I created as part of a knit1treble2 team game. It was inspired by the British wool cushion by Roses Workshop. I enjoyed exploring 'rustic' which is different from my own personal style, but I found items that I truly love.
