As 2019 Comes to An End...

Hello and Good Evening from my home to yours!!!  In my neck of the woods, this time of the year has been 68 degree weather...not a lot of snuggling up by the fire to stay warm...but, the new year is upon us and the hope of cold weather to bring in the snow so I (and all my family) can enjoy wearing my crocheted creations as they embark outside to play, to work or to just enjoy the outside. 

I hope everyone has been enjoying the Christmas holidays this year with your family and friends.  This time of the year is so magical, special and cheerful.  My television in my Sunroom has been locked on one channel.

Any guesses on what channel?

If you guessed the Hallmark Channel, well, then you are ABSOLUTELY correct.  I don't care if the plot may seem cheesy and the endings are all the same.  I LOVE watching ALL of the Christmas movies.  Simply put, they make me feel good.  Even after Christmas, I'm still watching this channel.  Lol.

I injured my right rotator cuff while visiting my family in Oklahoma for a few weeks back in July.  So, I have undergone medication, rest, exercise and injections while nursing my shoulder back to health.  I'm left-handed, but I'm a righty crocheter.  This injury has hindered my crocheting for the past 6 months.  It has effected my speed immensely.  I have only been able to work on crochet-specific projects.


So, what to do with my extra time?  Well, I've managed to keep myself quite busy.  I still continue to Home School my eldest grandson, Jacob.  He's an avid third-grader who keeps me on my toes.  We have taken a few field trips - two trips to the mountains of West Virginia, two trips to Myrtle Beach and one trip to New York City with four to five trips to North Carolina's Zoological Park.  We had so much fun in NYC.  We rode the ferry over to New Jersey so we could learn about the Statute of Liberty, we stood at Ground Zero and talked about what happened on September 11, we ate the best pizza ever and we enjoyed riding the subway...


For the Christmas holidays, my four grandchildren beautifully decorated my Christmas tree in my Living Room with all of our "Special Ornaments..."  Each one of my grandchildren is gifted a new ornament every year to hang on my tree.  Then after Christmas, they will add their collection of ornaments to their own designated box to store away until next year.  So, one day, when they are all grown, and trimming their own Christmas tree in their own homes, they will already have a childhood collection of special ornaments.  I take great care in picking the perfect ornament that embodies/signifies the year for each of them.  For example, Arielle was all about unicorns this year.  I enrolled her in a Unicorn Art Class, bought her unicorn clothes, shoes, book bag, and so on...I found her the perfect unicorn ornament for her to hang on our tree.

For my Christmas tree in the Sunroom, we decided to do an old-fashioned tree.  My son, Cory, made a trip to the beautiful mountains of Boone, NC, so that my grandson, Luke, could pick out the "perfect Christmas tree" to be cut down.  Well, Luke's idea of perfect was a tree barely five feet tall, but to his 4-year-old mind, his tree was tall and beautiful.  We placed it on a table in the corner of the room, added clear lights and then set out to hand make all of the ornaments for this tree.  Throughout the month of December, Luke, Jacob, Gabriel and Arielle made beaded candy canes, foam red trucks, candy canes with a sloth, fabric shaped hearts, strung popcorn garland and a few of my own crocheted ornaments.  It was simple and beautiful.  For the most part, it was just about spending time together, making ornaments and decorating together.

We participated in Asheboro's Christmas Parade, took in a show (How the Grinch Stole Christmas), made lots of candy and cookies, watched movies, sang Christmas Carols, visited Santa, trips out to see all the lights and decorations in neighborhoods and enjoyed lots of family time.

My year has been a very blessed one.  I thank God for each and every day of life and all the blessings in my life.  As we prepare to end 2019, we will be getting together with family on New Year's Eve to play board games and enjoy snacks and appetizers.  On New Year's Day, we will do our yearly ritual - family get-together at my mom's house to eat lots of cabbage - fried cabbage, cabbage rolls and cabbage soup, as we celebrate the first day of the New Year.

I hope as each of you are preparing to close out the old year and welcome in the new year, you find yourselves grateful, thankful and blessed for what God has given and done for you.

And, last, I have quite a few new pattern designs, how-to videos and an overall blog update coming in 2020....I hope you will continue to check out my blog, comment on my posts and enjoy my FREE patterns....

Happy New Year!!!

Happy Crocheting...

Hello, Happy Fall!!

Hello and good evening to y’all. In case anyone has been wondering about my MIA lately, I wanted to provide an update.  I’m working on several new designs and projects that I hope to share soon.  My crocheting has been a little limited for the past two months, as I’m nursing a tear in my rotator cuff of the right shoulder.  As some of you may know, I’m a lefty, but, I Crochet right-handed.  It has been a slow process of healing.  

I have also suffered the tragic loss of 2 of my dear aunts, Aunt Janice and Aunt Hester - just a few months apart.  I’m thankful I was able to travel out of state for the funeral of each one.  Losing a family member isn’t always easy.  I’ve had to step back, reflect and pray more frequent for my family during this sad time.

On the homefront, I have been extremely busy with getting Jacob’s 3rd grade year of homeschooling underway.  I’m planning quite a few field trips, outdoor learning experiences and more nature walks/physical fitness into our curriculum.  He continues to excel in several areas and still needs more focus in one area (reading)...

So, be sure to continue to check out my blog for new designs coming SOON....you will definitely like what is coming....

Happy Crocheting...

Colorful Fall Washcloths

With Fall right upon us, I thought I’d get an early start on a few projects!!!  First up, my mom absolutely loves the Cotton Washcloths I had made her several years ago.  She’s been requesting me to make her some new ones.  So, I decided to make her a set of 5 in gorgeous Fall colors.

Unisex Scarf & Hat...

I came across this gorgeous Premier Puzzle yarn in “Backgammon” last week in Oklahoma at Hobby Lobby and fell in love with it.  From the moment it caught my eye, I knew it would make the most perfect winter projects for men and women.

So, here ya go!!!  Here’s the FREE patterns for my beautifully textured, flowing “Unisex Scarf and Hat(s).”  I added fringe to the ends but it looks just as good without the fringe.

Unisex Scarf & Hat Pattern
Size:
Scarf - 60” in length before fringe added
Hats:  Average Adult-Sized

Materials:
—6.0mm hook
—#5 Premier Puzzle yarn in “Backgammon” (328 yds/skein) = 1 skein is enough for 1 Scarf and 1 Hat 
—tapestry needle for weaving

Now, continue to Rep #2 until your scarf measures 60” in length OR your desired length.  

Optional:
If desired, add fringe in each stitch across the short ends.  I cut strands of yarn about 6-8” long.  I put my hook through each stitch, grabbed the center of the strand, pulled through, removed hook and pulled two ends of strand through the strand hole to secure.  Once I completed this for each stitch on both ends, I then aligned my scarf ends and trimmed ends to match in fringe length.

Special Note:  Each hat is worked in the round, unless otherwise specified.  Be sure to use a stitch marker to keep track of your first/last stitch of each round.  Move the stitch marker up after each round.

17.  Loosely Sl St join in each st around.  Sl St join to first st and FO.  Weave ends.

For the pom, I wrapped yarn around 4 of my fingers, 75 times.  I then tied a secure double knot in the center.  Trimmed ends and attached to the center top of the hat.  

Brimmed Hat: 
  
1-13.  Repeat steps 1-13 for the Beanie Hat Pattern above.  At the end of Round 13, Sl St join to first st.  (50)

Ares Swirl Blanket

I’ve had the privilege of spending the last 9 days in Oklahoma getting to know my little cousin, Ares. He is 4 months old, chunky and all-around adorable.  I’m completely smitten!!!  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with him.

So, as crocheters often do, I had to whip up a special blanket for him.  I used Yarn Bee’s Sugarwheel in Green Tea Swirl.  It sorta reminds me of Harry Potter...lol.  I used 2 skeins of yarn (355 yds/skein) and a 6.0 mm hook.

This blanket measures approximately 30” x 30”.  For the blanket portion, I used the C2C (Corner-2-Corner) method with DC stitches.  I think the border I created makes this extra cute...

And, here’s a picture of my sweet Ares...

Everything Is Peachy Lovey...

I was asked to make a “Lovey-sized” version of my Everything Is Peachy Baby Blanket.  This Lovey measures 14” x 14”.  The combination of peach, grey and white yarn is just so pretty.

I decided to design and add a mouse head with arms to the center of it.  I wanted to turn my Lovey into a cute animal, but not the everyday favorite animals...lol.  So, with my own twist, I settled on a mouse.  The real thing may not be cute and cuddly but this Lovey sure is...

I used a 6.0mm hook for the Lovey portion and a 4.5mm hook for the mouse head and arms.  I decided on buttons for the eyes and nose, instead of animal eyes since this is for a baby and I felt the buttons provided a more secure safety measure.  But, this is optional and your choice.  I embroidered the whiskers and mouth with black thread.  And, of course, I had to add a little “fuzzy” hair and bow.

Isn’t she so cute?  Well, I hope you all will enjoy this pattern.

Everything Is Peachy Lovey

Glory Beach Blanket

Hey Guys!!!  With summer in full swing here in North Carolina, I wanted to share a few pictures of a recent project I completed.  The yarn reminds me so much of "Old Glory," that I aptly named this design, Glory Beach Blanket.

This blanket is the perfect size for the beach.  Place on a lounge chair or on the sand to catch some sunrays.  This fun size is different and sure to stand out wherever you go.

I plan to get my blog updated soon with the pattern.  So, click on the pin button in the left hand corner OR you can click on any picture below to save this link!!!!  Check back often for pattern availability.

Until then,
Happy Crocheting...

Grilled Calzone Sandwich Recipe

On Saturday, I made homemade Calzones for dinner.  Well, today, after church, I noticed I still had all the ingredients for Calzones but no pizza crusts.  And, since I love a grilled cheese sandwich, my mind started spinning with making a “Grilled Calzone Sandwich.”  And, to my delight, it turned out so yummy.  Although my blog is primarily crafting-related, I wanted to share the simplicity and yumminess of this Sandwich.  Now, if you’re looking for low fat and low calories this isn’t the recipe for you, but if you want a “comfort food” lunch to enjoy, then give it a try....
