Happy Monday! Last week, I shared a to-die-for homemade cherry pie filling recipe. Later this week, I’ll talk about the tarts that I used the filling in. In keeping with my cherry theme, today’s post is a crochet pattern to make the cutest Amigurumi cherries you ever did see! Maybe I’ll have to do some cherry nail art this week too, to round off my week of cherries! Continue reading Amigurumi Cherries Pattern

Vintage Hat Crochet Pattern
One of my favorite things to buy when I head to the bookstore with Husband is crafting and crochet magazines. A few months ago I bought “Love of Crochet” magazine’s Fall issue and in it was a Vintage Hat pattern that I have used a ton of times already. I’m not kidding- I’ve made 7 of these hats already! They are SUPER easy and work up very quickly, so I can knock one out in under two hours, making them fantastic Christmas gifts. Continue reading Vintage Hat Crochet Pattern
August Project Round Up
Hello, September! I have mixed feelings about this month. It means Fall is just around the corner (which is my fave!) and it means the anniversary of the first time the Husband and I met/had our first date/officially started dating, but it’s also the anniversary of losing my mom. Now on top of the current plethora of important dates during the month, we are adding buying a house and moving in to the mix. September is QUITE a busy and emotional month! For a minute, let us forget it is September and lets reflect back on August with a round up of my favorite projects from the Summer! Continue reading August Project Round Up
My Etsy Picks: Needle Arts
I heart needle art! Whether it’s crochet or knit, cross stitch or embroidery, I love it. Especially lately! Something about the end of summer/beginning of fall puts me in a super crochet-y mood. I guess it’s when I usually start making everyone’s Christmas presents, scarves, etc. I wish I knew how to do all the needle arts, but alas- I cannot! So I must look elsewhere for inspiration. Off to Etsy for the perfect gift guide! Continue reading My Etsy Picks: Needle Arts
Project: Crocheted Amigurumi Hippo Pattern
A few people in my family and friends circle are currently pregnant! That means come 2015 there will be a few baby showers that I’ll be attending, so I figured I better start making a ton of baby gifts now in preparation! Since we don’t know the sexes of the babies-to-be yet, I’m looking for gender-neutral projects that any little one could play with. In addition to some cute baby blankets (post-to-come!), play mats and clothing, I have been busy crocheting little zoo animals at my weekly Crochet/Knit class! The first one I completed was this adorable little hippo! Continue reading Crocheted Amigurumi Hippo Pattern
