Bloomers for Baby
The smell of baby powder and lotion. The natural inclination to speak in a whisper. The way everything is just so tiny. The coordinated outfits and blankets. The little sneezes and cuddles. How quickly your heart is completely stolen by a tiny little person. I can’t think of anything as magical as the birth of a new baby. These baby bloomers are a great addition the Little Ones new wardrobe whether you are nesting, hoping, last minute prepping or just adding one last thing to the collection of surprises for your baby, I hope this pattern makes the list and adds to the diaper-bum-cuteness overload.

Mad for Plaid
Comfy and soft with stripes and checks nodding to colors found in nature. In a search for how to add a cozy element to my home this fall, plaid prints, with their calming colors and understated beauty, have held my attention. Maybe it’s the way that a light flannel layer is just right to warm up when evenings and mornings are starting to give hints about cooler temperatures ahead, or maybe it’s the variation of color palettes that complement autumn so well. It is timeless and seasonably versatile, but this Autumn, I am Mad for Plaid. Try it with colors of your choice. Plaid in pallettes that coordinate with your…

A Bookmark all about POPSICLES
Every summer, it inevitably happens that it gets so hot that the only thing I want to eat is popsicles. Rocket Pops, Creamsicles, Twin Pops, Strawberry Shortcake bars, Chocolate covered ice cream bars, Spicy Mango coconut pops, Fudgesicles, Creamies….they all sound like sensible dinner options while it’s 100 degrees outside. If that sounds about right for you too, maybe this Popsicle bookmark will pique your interest. One of the imperative parts of summer for me growing up was that I always knew where my library card was and that I had a bookbag ready to go on all of my adventures. My library card was my passport to more traveling…

Beignet Dreams Pin
This summer, I had the delightful experience of tasting my first Disney Beignet. Put me down as one of the ones dreaming about Beignets everyday forever now. They are such a delicious treat that I couldn’t help but make a crochet pin to wear while they are endlessly floating through my mind. Beignets buried in powdered sugar and dipped in berry sauce and chocolate, these are exquisite! No wonder you pronounce them “Bayn-YAYS!” I made mine with yarn embroidered “powdered sugar” and a Strawberry pin. Strawberry pattern here. I hope you’ll have fun making your pin and wearing it for your Disney inspired fashion. The best part about this pin…

Fishing for Rainbow Trout
A beginner friendly crochet pattern I have a love of Toy making. As a mom, when birthdays and Christmas time were on their way, I would spend hours thinking of something unique and special that I could make for each of my three little ones. As they grew, I began to teach them to crochet too and found that they loved to learn and work on projects too. I have loved these moments so much with each of my kids that it’s a dream of mine to create a series of patterns appropriate for little hands and fingers with beginner stitches and (hopefully) easy to follow design patterns. This crochet…

Make Lemonade!
There are likely few dreams as big as those of a tiny entrepreneur sitting behind a lemonade stand. The ideas of production and advertising seem to grow larger than life along with the list of summer luxuries that might come with “making it big” from lemonade sales. Pool passes, soda, candy, carnival, and movie tickets, fireworks! The possibilities seem almost endless. It seems that it can’t really be summer if one of my children doesn’t ask me, “Can we make some lemonade?” In recognition of the the hard work that goes into any big dream and the hope that we all might take a moment to stop at a roadside…
