Hippy Boho Bag Free Pattern

Hey there Hookers! 

Hope you all are getting the best out of the last bit of summer, I know I am. 

I haven't been able to crochet as much as I used to since having Jackson in January, but now that hes 7 months old and sleeping better with naps and bedtime, I FINALLY have some time to work on new stuff.

First up I tried out the Urban Gypsy Boho Bag by Make & Do Crew.

I was a little intimidated, not gonna lie, but it turns out I had nothing to worry about! The author of this pattern explained every detail from the stitches, to how to sew it together. It made making this gorgeous and unique bag a breeze! 

You can bet I'll be making more of these!

Recent Finished Projects August 2018

Hey there hookers! 

I've come to show you some of the fun stuff I've been working on lately!

I tend to gravitate towards smaller projects in the hotter months. I like something I can finish quickly, that wont take up a lot of space in my lap or use a ton of yarn. One skein projects are key for me over the summer! 

So my usual go-to is this super quick and easy pattern for a mug cozy. You can find the Free Pattern Here! 

I'm working on some in some fall colors, and I plan on selling them in sets! 

What do you think of the grey and light blue? 

What colors would you like to see?!

Funky Pom Pom Beanie Free Pattern

Hey everyone! 
Does anyone even still read this thing anymore?! 
I'm still here, and I'm still crocheting away. 

I have so many awesome things to share with you all! But I wanted to start off with one of my favorite beanies I've been wearing around this winter. I've been working on using up yarn in my stash, and I chose this funky blue yarn to start out with. 


I wasn't too font of the color by itself (hence why it's been sitting in my stash for years) but I decided to give it some life! I paired it with one of my favorite colors, turquoise by Red Heart. I used a large hook, and one strand of each yarn to quickly make this cozy beanie!

Free Pattern Review - Crochet Jellyfish

Hey there!

I'm so excited to share this with you today. I came across this pin on Pinterest that was just the cutest crochet jellyfish I have ever seen! 

Check out the designer, One Dog Woof here, and the free pattern for the Crochet Jellyfish here!

Usually I'd just say, "that's so cute! I wish I could make something like that!". Except this time, I decided to just give it a try. Why not?!

I was a little discouraged at first, thinking it didn't look like the picture. But if I've learned anything in my years of crocheting and following patterns, it's best to just follow what the designer says, and it always works out in the end!

Check out how I did

 Not only did I finish the one I started, but I made TWO more! The pattern was very easy to follow, and they're so cute! If you've been wanting to try out something new, this is perfect for you.

I think they look great here for now, what do you think?

I'm completely in love with this bag, and I really can't wait to make one for myself! Persia Lou is an AWESOME blog I just discovered, and everyone should definitely go check it out!

This Kelia Top combines crochet with sewing, and I love the look. The best part is you can choose your own fabric, and really make it unique to you!

If you're heading to the beach or even a backyard BBQ and want to dress up your feet, go barefoot with these Barefoot Sandals! 

This Colete Granny Square Vest is totally awesome!

Tri-Colored Braided Infinity Scarf

Fall is finally here, and one of the first things I wanted to make for this season was this Braided Infinity Scarf designed by The Rookie Crafter! I've made a few of these before in a solid color and I loved them. I wanted to try it in three different colors and see how it looked!

I love making these because they are very simple and easy to put together. Any beginner who has learned to chain and double crochet can make one! There are also so many different color combinations you could make! Favorite sports teams, school colors, the possibilities are endless with these braided infinity scarves. 

What do you think? Would you wear one yourself? Or maybe you're looking for a Christmas gift idea that isn't your typical hat or scarf.
What colors would your scarf be in??

Going Headband Crazy! - Link to Free Pattern!

Hey there hookers!

I hope everyone is enjoying their spring! I know I am. I've been spending lots of time outside enjoying the weather, and even taking some trips to the beach!

I've also been enjoying making a few spring projects!

This one is just the beginning.

This headband is called the Thai Garden Headband (click on the name for the pattern).

 I spotted this pattern on Pinterest one day, and knew instantly that I had to try it. It looked simple and just perfect for the spring time!

It only took me about an hour to work up, and the flowers were fairly quick to make also. It's the perfect project to make if you need a quick gift, or want to make out like a bandit at craft fairs this season! 

I used Loops & Threads - Woolike Simili-Laine super fine yarn. This is my first time working with such lightweight yarn, but I liked it! I can't wait to make some more things with it for the spring and summer.

What other things do you think would be good to make with this yarn?
