Anaheim Ducks Hat
Happy Crocheting...
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.

Pumpkin Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Heres a quick and easy fall craft project. I used jumbo yarn and a toilet paper roll - cut 3 pieces all different sizes to make a small, medium and large. I used a wood stick from the yard and cut 3 pieces for my stems.
I used approximately 1 yard of jumbo yarn to make all three pumpkins.
I worked the yarn in and around each piece of toilet paper ring. I then just snuggled the end to the inside and added a wood stick for the stem on the top.
That’s it!!!!
Happy Crafting.

I have recently found that the following website link has attached 244 of my crochet patterns to their website and trying to sell them. I DID NOT consent, authorize or endorse this. The website is clearly in violation of my copyright for each pattern that I designed.
If you visit this site, please comment and make them aware of their fraudulent activity. I’m in the process of trying to find an attorney who handles this type of law to ensure that my patterns are removed and only available on my blog.

I made this cute Bikini top using Peaches and Creme cotton yarn in “Evening Sea” and a 4.0mm hook. The blend of colors in this yarn is perfect for the summer weather.
I may add the pattern after I make the bottoms to go with this. The top required 2 skeins of the cotton yarn.

Teapot
This was a fun and easy craft project. It’s perfectly imperfect and I’m okay with that!!!!
For this project, I recycled a pizza sauce jar. I used paper towels, brown paper, coffee pods box, paper tape, mod podge, paint, Elmer’s glue and a variety of colors of air dry clay.
Here are pictures of the steps to making this:
Hi all!!!!
I know I haven’t posted any new patterns in the past few weeks. I’ve been working on Etsy orders. It seems my 100% cotton dryer balls are the right size and people seem to love using them. I’m so thankful and grateful for that, especially since my husband sustained a brain injury umpiring a baseball game after working all day and has since been unable to work or umpire for the past year.
I have so many patterns that need to be typed up and added to the blog. I just don’t seem to have enough hours (or energy) in the day to get everything done anymore. Prayers are greatly needed and appreciated. To date, my husband is no longer able to pastor our church. This has been a rough transitional time for us.
If I have made something and you are wanting the specific pattern, please feel free to comment or email me directly at rilla2u@gmail.com and I will get it to you as quickly as I can.
Life is about constant changes; ups and downs; heading one way and then turning in another direction. I’m still crocheting and crafting. Not as much as I would like, but my plate has been kinda full lately.
Thank you all so much for your continued support on my Etsy page and just visiting my blog and bringing my patterns to life.
Again, thank you all so much. God bless!!!!

Spring Hat
I crocheted this super cute Spring Hat, using a 5.0mm hook and Crafter’s Secret yarn from Hobby Lobby.
Quick and easy project. The brim can be turned up or down to change the look of it. I’m still trying to decide if I want to add any floral appliqués or buttons to it.
I used double crochet and single crochet stitches for this hat project. Beginner friendly project.

Pencil Scarf
I crocheted this “Pencil Scarf” in less than two hours last night for my daughter-in-law, Laurel, who’s an elementary teacher. I figured her kiddos would love seeing her wearing this.
I used a 5.0mm hook and Red Heart Super Saver yarn I had on hand. I made this approximately 5.5” wide and 52” long. You can make this as wide or as long as you would like.
For mine, I started with a Chain 19. Each row had 18 HDC (half double crochet) stitches. I worked 12 rows pink, 8 rows grey, 80 rows of grey, 11 rows of white and 9 rows of black. From the white through the black rows, I worked decrease rows.
If you want to make this longer, then complete more than 80 rows of yellow.
This is a cute and easy project to make for teachers.

USMC Beanie Hat
I crocheted this custom USMC beanie hat for a customer. I used my basic beanie pattern, added a black faux fur pom and attached a Marine logo patch to the center front.
I used a 5.0mm hook and Mainstays Yarn in the color of Red. I bought the Marine logo patch on Amazon.
This is an intermediate pattern. It requires knowledge of double crochet front post and back post stitches for the border. The hat itself is made with double crochet stitches.
