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…

Carpay the Stripe Fish
A Beginner Friendly Pattern Last October, I got to make a checkmark on a bucket list item that I had always wanted to complete. My three kids were finally old enough that my husband and I felt safe taking them to the ocean to snorkel. They were afraid that we might encounter sharks, electric eels, and Tsunamis in the ocean near Cozumel but when we arrived, they carefully slid into the water. Courageously, they set their goggles firmly on their little faces and put the snorkels in their mouths. Timidly, they put their faces in the water for that first, captivating look. And then there was no turning back. Visiting…
