Spa Set

Spa Set


I love how this set turned out. I used double-stranded yarn to make the square and round baskets sturdy.  Each will be great for storing items.  


For the scrubbies, I made them double layered. They are super soft and 100% cotton.


The eye mask is made in acrylic yarn and is very soft and comfortable to wear at night. 

The soap saver is made with 100% cotton yarn and super soft. 

This set is gender neutral and perfect for a man or woman. 

I’ve only made this one set and it’s now listed in my Etsy shop.  The set includes:  1 square basket, 1 round basket, 3 scrubbies, 1 soap saver and 1 eye mask!!!

Here’s the LINK to my Etsy Shop....

Hair Barrette

 Hair Barrette


I made this simple and cute “Hair Barrette” using the Fur Stitch for my granddaughter, Miss Arielle. 

I used grey yarn but this would look so cute in all colors!!!  It works up really fast using a combination of SC, DC and chain stitches.

Beach-themed Wall Hanging!!!

 Beach-themed Wall Hanging!!!

I absolutely love how this project turned out.  To make it even more special, the wood plank I used came from my mom’s floor.  Keepsake memory to always have. 

Now, to make this all you need is a plank that measures approximately 8”x14”. It took three coats of blue acrylic paint to cover mine. 
I then painted two small wood baskets (from the Dollar Tree) in Caribbean.  I painted a palm tree and pineapple wood sticker to add to each basket. 


I then added a starfish and crab to the wood plank. Each were part of a 3-piece hanging from the Dollar Tree. 

Last, I used jute rope to go around the plank and then made a hanger. 

Everything was attached using a hot glue gun and Gorilla glue sticks. 

To finish off, I painted two small wood round pieces in Teal and attached to the opposite corners of the baskets.  I then added seashells to one basket; for the second basket, I added greenery, a few shells and a small jar of sand (salt and cinnamon)...

And, that’s it!!!  This was an easy, fun and inexpensive summer project to add to your home decor.  
And, here’s a short video clip...
