Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!!

Hi guys!!!! I kno  I have been a little MIA lately. I apologize. I’ve designed several new blankets, quilted about 5 and made all the Dollar Tree DIY’s for my camper, my mom’s house, my mother-in-law’s house and a friend’s place.  

I have lots of new ideas to share in crocheting and crafting.  I have a stack of written patterns that need to be tested. I write shorthand so no one understands my handwriting so this is something I have to take the time to do.  

During all this, I’ve had a lot of changes, trying to improve my health and lost 60 pounds. BUT, the new year is near and I’m very optimistic and thrilled to share lots of new projects.


Until then,

Happy Crocheting & Crafting

Christmas DIY Projects

 I have been SO busy making such a huge variety of Christmas DIY projects that I’m sure there is a craft here for everyone. 

As a crocheter, here are 2 C2C, DC blankets I’m making with yarn from Dollar Tree  


—————

Diamond Art Coasters from Temu.


Wood rounds from Dollar Tree, painted and stenciled with snowmen faces, then glued to ribbon. I used a box to cut and paint the hat and scarf. 

Sewer Pipe craft with red duct tape and sign from Dollar Tree.

















I do plan to individualize each project into its on post and show you how each item was made.


Happy Crafting. Happy Holidays!!!
