Happy New Year All!

I know it’s been way to long since I posted! I totally just have had to put this on the back burner!

I also have to apologize for those looking for the 18″ Doll Mermaid Pattern and couldn’t get it to download your messages went straight to SPAM and I never was notified of your posts! I would of responded sooner had I known! Now I think it’s been fixed! If not please let me know I was able to open it.

So wanted to share FIRST – what I had been working on towards the end of 2016! These Chunky Beanies and Slouchy Beanies – Got this great pattern from “Alexis Middleton” on YouTube. She’s got a great “Cat Hat” video also which I’ll share those pics later too! I’ve also been making the ever POPULAR “Messy Bun” or “Mom Bun” Beanies – that will be my next post!

I have already added these hats that are pictured to my Etsy shop which you’ll find in the right hand corner.

Thanks for stopping by and I plan to be blogging ALOT more this year as I’ve got LOTS to share with you all!
Happy Craftin’,

March already???

categories: Sewing Items

Boy where does the time go? I tell you finally things are slowing down for me! My son had something going on just about everyday of the week except for Fridays! Between school basketball and recreational basketball AND Baseball??? Yikes…..Calgon take me away!

So I wanted to share a few items I’ve been working on! Hey it’s not Crochet this time! I’m not much of a sewer BUT I’ve made a few easy Baby Quilts – Well I pulled out my machine again and dusted it off! After I saw some super cute curtains my cousin made. Here are the items I made…..SUPER FUN!

A Farmers Market or Grocery Tote bag! I am SUPER in LOVE with these bags! This is my 3rd bag I’ve made! Love the fabric. My daughter already marked it as hers!

Found the YouTube Video on this and just new I had to make it! PLUS there are so many other EASY items to make! For a beginner like me – that’s important! LOL!

But one of my very 1st projects was this REALLY Easy Cosmetic Bag from So Sew Easy – the name says it all!

This is actually my 2nd Cosmetic Bag I made! I’m really liking how they turn out! Another YouTube video. You can find the pattern HERE and the video too!

Well I’ve got more items that are in the making both crochet & sewing related that I’ll share a little later! I’m sure these will be popping up in my Etsy store very soon since I kinda bought some more Yummy Fabric! Questions? Please don’t hesitate to ask!

Thanks for stopping by and as always Happy Crafting!

Happy 2016 Crafters!

categories: Blankets, General

Hello all and Happy 2016 – I have to say the last month of December was a blur for me! I literally was bombarded with Mermaid Tail Orders ALL month LONG! OH and a craft fair at the beginning of the month too! BUT I was able to get ALL my orders done!
Here are the 1st two that sold! These are Child Sizes in Lavender Blue & Ocean Tide!

I’ll share more a little later along with a Doll version I created using the same pattern. Which is from MJ’s Off the Hook Designs. It’s an AWESOME pattern which can be found on Ravelry.com. Also quick and FAST to make up. Which is always nice! Well need to get my Xmas decorations put away so I’ll have the rest of the day to play! Thanks for stopping by and come back a little later as I’ll be sharing more goodies and the Best Christmas Gift I got!

Happy Craftin’,
