Making one a week

I started making these one a week to have a good stash by the end of the year.
If I fall behind I am not worried they work up quick and are pretty brainless
hahaha


I enjoy making washcloths, dishcloths not only for friends and family but also for myself.
I love using these in my home.
not only are they cotton they are 100 percent machine washable and dryable.
no-nonsense supplies are the best.


I use the grannys favorite dishcloth pattern I love the look with the eyelits.
These are the perfect size.
they do not flop around slinging soapy water everywhere, they are a perfect hand size to do the job.


I have a video on yt click below!

Bumble stays warm

Crochet Cowl

Bumble knows how to stay warm in the cold!


I had so much fun making these cowls to stuff away in my gift box. These are great to give to all ages. Everyone likes to stay warm on the colder days and nights.


I used a g hook and worsted weight yarn
I created this using the snapdragon stitch it is fun and easy to remember.
Special stitch- (v stitch) dc, ch1, dc

Chain 93 slip stitch to join careful not to twist

1.  Chain 3, DC in third chain from hook 5 times, *skip 3 chains, v stitch in 4th chain, skip 3 chains, 5DC in next chain *repeat til end DC chain 1 slip stitch join to chain 3

2.  Chain 3 turn work, 2dc in same space, skip 3dc, v stitch in next dc, *in next ch 1 space 5dc, v stitch in 4th dc *repeat around 2dc in beginning 3dc space slip stitch join.

3.  Chain 4 and turn work, *5dc in next chain 1 space, v stitch in 4th dc *repeat around dc in beginning chain 4 space slip stitch to top chain. 


repeat rows 2 and three until desired height. I did 21 rounds

Great item to help get warm

Knit Hats for Everyone!


Hats are the perfect gift for everyone in the cooler areas. They not only keep your head warm but also keeps heat from escaping keeping the rest of you toasty.


I love making hats of all sorts for family and friends. As well as custom orders! These i made in various colors I had on hand to store away in my gift box. Below is a close up of the pattern i used to create all these pictured. It is a free pattern called the bankhead hat.


I have found hats to be one of the most well received gifts.
I have a video on my yt channel.

Baby Owl Cocoon

Crochet Baby Owl Cocoon

Recently I completed this custom order for a new mama to be.


I love how it turned out it is so adorable and cozy warm for baby. I used bulky weight yarn to create this cute bunting. Being the first time i have ever made a baby cocoon it took a bit longer than usual but it was definitely worth it. 


It is a set the cocoon comes with a hat for either newborn, 3-6 months or 6-9 months. Below is a close up picture. The eyes were requested closed but can also be open. I love this sweet bunting. A perfect gift for baby, and mama to be. Being acrylic blend it is easy to wash and lay flat to dry.


The recipient adored it! It warms my heart to create for others.

It's been awhile...

Omg, has it been a hot minute! I have been crafting behind the scenes so to speak. If you follow me on instagram you have seen a bit of what I have been doing. But yt and the blog not so much I am sad to say I have fallen quite short, letting the ball drop.
Here is a video talking about what is going on in case you haven't seen it on yt.
In the short time it has been up I'm sad to say it has already been demonitized because of content. I guess yt isn't happy with what I had to say.
