The Day the Crayons Became Crochet Toys!
A favorite story can help create the best memories. I have loved reading to my kids over the years. During times of excitement, sadness, anxiety, joy and everything in between, it seems that reading a good book always adds an extra bit of coziness and fun. Are you or your kids a lover of the Crayons and all of their adventures? I love this book series written by Drew Daywalt and Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers. They are full of the antics and laughs that the Crayons are always up to. I felt inspired by the creativity in the books and wanted to crochet my own crayons to accompany one of…

Pillowcase Dress for Hyacinth the cow.
When my kids were small, each of them picked a special, cherished toy that came along for walks, picnics, mornings at the library, a zippy ride down the slide at the playground, naps and bedtime. I loved the way my kids found comfort from their little toy in moments of uncertainty and when they were about to embark on a new adventure. In keeping with the way we took care of my kids special toys, I made a pillowcase dress for Hyacinth the Cow. As you’ll see, I know much less about sewing than crochet, so this pattern is very simple. The benefit of simplicity is that it will hopefully…

Counting down the days until Thanksgiving and Christmas, enjoying every day of the holiday break to the fullest and curiously watching everyone around me do the same.
