What Are You Doing? Nov/Dec 2019 blog hop


You know what time of year it is. It's the busiest time of year, and I forget to post last month's blog hop. But this is the best time because this blog hop will last until the end of the year. Florida is feeling the brisk air now, and soon it will be time to wear the scarves and hats I made for this year.

This is what I have been doing since last month. 
More pumpkins! I am loving pumpkins this time of year, and I have tried a few styles of free and paid patterns that I love. I am hoping to write a post about it soon.


What are you working on? 

I want to see some Fall crafts and home decor! 
Are you renovating your home? I need some home inspirations! 
Got any current WIPs (works in progress) that you'd like to share? Have some vacation posts? Got any how-to videos posted this month? You can share whatever creative outlet your interest is in. Share a link from your blog, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, etc!

What Are You Doing? October 2019 blog hop


Just as quickly as my birthday has come and gone, September is over! Here's to a new month of crochet and crafty things! I love this time of year because people decorate their homes in fall themes and festive colors. Although Florida doesn't get the fall-feeling weather until November-December, I still like to craft and create all the fall things! 

I just posted these Tunisian crochet pumpkins on Instagram that I tested for Knitter Knotter. This tunisian pattern is free on her website www.knitterknotter.com, and it is an easy pattern to follow with plenty of video tutorials. Check out this pattern and other free patterns on her website!

What Are You Doing? Aug/Sept 2019 Blog Hop


Well, it looks like I almost missed August! I might as well just combine it with September's blog hop. I want to see all the autumn decor and colors! I hope you can join us for this month's blog hop!

Still on my WIP's is the tapestry crochet project from Hooks, Yarns and Loops and the boho tank top pattern from Hooked on Homemade Happiness. At least I have the pieces together. I just nee to add fringe!

My current project is a Tunisian crochet pattern testing. I completed it within the month, but my pieces were crocheting crooked! I had to start over again. If you want to see the tunisian crochet pattern, it's the Tunisian Lace Top Pattern from Cosy Crochet. You can purchase her pattern now!

Crochet inspirations: clutches and storage baskets

Over the years, I have taken pictures of crocheted items I have found at stores for inspiration and to see if I can replicate it for my personal enjoyment. There are many of free a paid crochet patterns that look similar to the items I wanted to make, so this post is for those items.

Recently, I found this simple crocheted clutch that was apparently made of 100% paper. It looked more like raffia.



Here is a similar clutch that you can make from Yarnspirations: Crochet Clutch free pattern. I was also thinking to try making this with raffia.


I have seen the hanging baskets at Ikea, and I've been meaning to make myself a few of those. 



Here's a similar hanging storage free crochet patterns. First one is from Hooks and Habits. I would make myself a longer version for my bathroom wall.

And here's a free pattern from Red Heart for hanging baskets on a dowel. I love the look of these, and you can make them in any length.


Another great looking hanging basket comes from Counting Crafty Sheep's hair tool hanging basket pattern: 

Do you know of any other great clutch or storage basket patterns?

What Are You Doing? July 2019 Blog Hop


Welcome to July! There was an issue with my linky tools account last month, so I was not able to post June's list. I hope you can join us for this month's blog hop!

I have started collecting some works in progress (WIPs) from May. I started with a tapestry crochet project from Hooks, Yarns and Loops. I'm taking a break on this one and picked up an boho tank top pattern from Hooked on Homemade Happiness. I'll try to take a few new pictures this month!



What are you working on? 

Any special projects for the 4th of July?

Celebration of Life

I haven't written a post in a long time, primarily because I have been busy with work, church, spending time with my husband and family. But this month deserves a short post.

My mother passed away in the beginning of June. It was June 8, on my brother's birthday. The rest of this month has felt slow, day by day. I got a few days off from work, mostly to help with the arrangement of the celebration of life. 


But I don't feel like doing anything right now. I have even tried to pick up my crochet with no success. I just need to get out of my life for a moment to contemplate on things.



My mother was the one who enjoyed crafting and making things with her hands. She knitted. She enjoyed cooking and making meals with whatever she had in the fridge. I enjoy doing that now. 

Maybe I should try picking up knitting again. She was the one who taught me. I know she is is heaven, completely renewed and cancer free.

What Are You Doing? April 2019 Blog Hop


Welcome to April! 

In March, I was able to join in the Crochet Madness 30 day challenge. I ave done other challenges in the past to encourage myself in posting daily and thinking outside the crochet box. This one was more crochet oriented, so I had more material to work with. I am on the last few posts for the month, and I will happy to say that I completed the challenge! I have also met a few inspiring crafters and had some lovely comments. You can check out my posts and others on the #crochetmadness hashtag!

What Are You Doing? March 2019 Blog Hop


Welcome to March! February just flew by! March usually brings out the green in us, so I hope to see some green projects this month!

Take a look at what I finished last month! I worked on the 5-star Beanie for more than a month. I was almost done and then I had to frog it, but I was able to finish it correctly! The Youtube video really helped me out!
