Quilt Top…

 Baby Blanket

Quilting is such a fun hobby to learn. I started quilting about 20+ years ago. I let it lay by the wayside for years while I stayed busy in crocheting and crafting. 

But, since I’ve found Temu and noticed they sale pre-cut squares, it has made me want to quilt again. They offer a wide variety of different square sizes. I absolutely love the 10” square size. 

On this patchwork quilt, I’m rotating the rows between pink and blue. 

How cute is this?

Happy Quilting!!!! 

Repurpose Tissue Box

Repurpose Tissue Box

I decided to repurpose this tissue box into a storage container.

First, I used popsicle sticks glued completely around all 4 sides to add sturdiness. I painted it several colors before setting on the final color(s).  

Second, I used 2 pieces of jute rope braided and made handles for each side. Repeat for second side. 

Third, I added a cute “saying” with a glue backing to the center of one side. I then took 5 pieces of pink ribbon, zip tied the center, glued a button on top and then glued the whole piece over the saying. 

Last, I glued beaded rope beads around the bottom and top just to add a little bling to my project.

Everything for this project came from the Dollar Tree.

Happy Craftng…

I’m working on this beautiful blend of orange and yellow cotton fabric for a quilt top for an upcoming fall baby.  The colors are so pretty together. 

Each block is 10” x 10”.  

Happy quilting!!!

Anaheim Ducks Hat

 Anaheim Ducks Hat


I had a request to make an Anaheim Ducks hockey hat with only using two of the primary colors. I used a 5.0mm hook, HDC crochet stitch and “I Love This Yarn” from Hobby Lobby. 



 Happy Crocheting...

Miami Dolphins Hat

I had a request to make a Miami Dolphins hat with only using two of the primary colors. I used a 5.0mm hook, HDC crochet stitch and “I Love This Yarn” from Hobby Lobby. 

The customer wanted a flap to turn up and no pom added. I’m hoping the Dolphins fan will be happy when he receives his hat.
