Ornament fun #4 - Poinsettia Tawashi

This tawashi is definitely ornament-worthy!


This crochet chart can be downloaded free from Amuuse (Hanamaka).  On the Amuuse page, click on the pink button that shows "レシピ" to download it. I used Lily Sugar and Cream yarn and a H hook for this project.

I must say this can be challenging to crochet unless you read Japanese language even with the 4 charts, but it's so worth trying, don't you agree? :)

Ornament fun #3 - Peppermint Christmas Ornaments

Festive red and green!!! ❤️




This pattern is free to download on Ravelry!  So easy and fun, I think I must make more than just 2! :D

Ornament fun #2 - Plum Pudding Ornament

Christmas pudding...   YEAH ❤️



This is a free pattern on Yarnspirations.  I used Lily Sugar & Cream yarn - worsted weight cotton  and hooks are E and G.   I so love this ornament! ❤️

Ornament fun #1 - Celtic Knot Heart Ornaments

I had lots of fun crocheting tree ornaments this year!  I just wanted something unique and ones that our tree was missing.  This is the first one - more to follow! :)




The second one definitely came out looking better than the first. :D
You can get this free pattern when you sign up for the newsletter at Celtic Knot Crochet.

Cupcake Gift Card Holder

I have a good friend who recently had her birthday.

For this person, a gift card was perfect, but I wanted to add a bit of my personal touch.  So...  I just sat and came up with this idea - a cute gift card holder!!!  She is managing her calorie intake so I made it into a crocheted cupcake-shaped gift card holder. :)  Not edible, but sweet!


I can use this for Christmas gifting too.  It would also make a cute Christmas tree ornament. :)

Pigletta - New Design!

Hi all!

I'm so excited to announce my new design.
I hope this one will make you smile.  :)


This pattern is packed with advanced beginner - intermediate crochet techniques.  You will never get bored working on this piggy!  I had so much fun with it. :)  

I'm already working on my next design, and I have been so sleepless.  When I do sleep, I'm still thinking about designs...  Just can't wait to offer another fun project! :)

Owl ❤ ~ Wise one speaks

This one reminds me to appreciate everything in my life. :)


I purchased this owl pattern on Ravelry.  I just couldn't help it! :D
The design is in macrame style, and I love it!  The pattern is written in UK crochet terminology, but it also includes the US one. 

I cut up one of my birds' unused perches, and I used wooden buttons for his eyes.

I also enjoy cross stitch❤  I used one of Lizzie Kate's free charts.
