Well... I did not get my tiny house finished, but it is sold! Yup, my nephew bought it and will be moving it to a new location soon. So for now I am just concentrating on building our regular house. Right now I am working on getting the metal siding on before winter.
I do miss my little 14 foot tiny house but I have a 17 foot trailer out in the field that is just begging to be turned into my next tiny house/craft room/office. I am thinking either a Hobbit or Elvish theme this time!
I haven't posted in quite a while. What can I say, life gets crazy busy. I wanted to take a little time to show off a pretty little Spring Basket I made. Now, this is not totally my pattern. I found it online. I did make some changes to it though. I added some rows of double crochet and single crochet behind the flowers to make the basket stand up better. I made a lid with a cute little tulip for a basket I made my sister. She loved it!
It's been very busy around here. We are trying to get out house siding on before winter hits full force! I have managed, in my very sparse spare time, to create another cute coaster! A cute little duck! I'm waiting on some more yarn to arrive from Hobbi so I can create another duck in different colors to test my pattern. After that I will put the pattern on my Ravelry site for sale. For now, I must get back to work. Have a great day!
I've been working on my tiny house. It's getting closer to done! Go to my tiny tab and take a look at the progress.
Well, I think I finally did it. I updated my Latte the Horse Coaster pattern. I think I may be finally done with it. LOL! No more edits unless other people give me good feed-back. I am at a point (after almost 5 years of creating!) that I truly like how Latte looks. I have updated the new pattern on Ravelry and hopefully I will get it on some other sites for sale too!
Link to the pattern can be found on my Crochet tab, then look for Latte the horse coaster.
I will stick one here too for convenience: Latte the Horse Coaster
I have been busy creating lately. We took a long road trip the other day and I brought my yarn bag with me! I made two mini plants which I think turned out very cute!
I was inspired to make some Iris flowers for my Aunt. After a long search on YouTube I did find a video to go by. It was in another language but had English in the captions. I had to watch it a few times and did a LOT of pausing, rewinding and counting myself, to follow her but the flowers did turn out cute I think. The video was pretty easy to follow. I liked it 👍
There was just one change I made. When she finishes the petal, I did one extra trim around the petal with a *sc, ch2* on the bottom three petals and *slst, ch2* on the top three petals to make them seem a bit more frilly. 😊
I really enjoyed making these pretty little Iris flowers!
If you would like to watch the video and try and make these flowers her link is below:

Well I have learned how to make another little potted plant. I used parts of the videos from SGIBYN Crochet Tutorials to make these strawberry plants. I also used some pictures off Pinterest to follow, to make different jagged leaves of the plants. I think they turned out so very cute❣
Here are the new jagged leaves (on the right in the picture), I am starting on. I think they match strawberry leaves much better.
I have been very busy this spring with my garden, chickens and building our house. I do like to find time in the evening to crochet while I watch a show with my hubby. Great way to wind down from a long day. Maybe it's the garden that inspires me right now but I have been crocheting little hanging plants lately. I think they turned out super cute!!
Last week I challenged myself to crocheting something new. After many hours searching YouTube and using 3 videos, I made some very cute Gerbera Daisies. I like using the videos because they not only show how to make things but I can rewind (as I do often) and slow the video to follow the stitch. My flowers turned out pretty good for my first try I think. My friend, who I gave them to, said they were beautiful! so there is that. 😊 She brightened up her office with them. She is a plant lover like me. These are great for her office because she has no window. The flowers won't need sun or water to stay pretty! Yay!
First of all, my apologies for not posting in a bit. I have been so busy. I am trying to get another crochet pattern written and I think I have frogged the head 20 times already! So, yes it is still a work in progress.
I figured I would pop onto my blog here and brag about my month a bit. Yes, my month. I love February💜💜💜. It is my favorite month of the year. It is also my birthday month, and very special. I was a Valentine baby. Yup, Feb 14th birthday. So this month is filled with purples and reds and hearts galore!
This is a good time to share a couple of heart doilies I have made in the past. the Rose colored one I made for my mom and the multi-colored purple one is for myself. I decorate my holiday table with it every February💕
The pattern is "Sweetheart Soiree" by Draiguna. I really love Julia's creations!
Hello all! I am just letting you know I made a few changes to my Latte coaster pattern. I have updated the pattern PDF on Ravelry and it is now active and up for sale again.
I am also working on final edit of Betty the cow coaster too. Have found a few edits I need to make in the pattern and taking the photos to go with it. I will upload to Ravelry when done. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Yep, it's almost 2am. My friend is helping me sort and link all these pages because I'm still finding my way around this tech stuff, LOL! She is great at code and knowing how this all works together! I finally have my Crochet horse coaster online, the Pumpkin Pie Gnome and the Cow will be the next ones up (when I find the time, whew)! The Holidays are nearly upon us so it is quite busy around here. Getting ready for big family fun with the relatives!
I have finally posted my Latte the horse coaster for sale on Ravelry! I am hoping to put the pattern on more sites later but I'm glad I managed to get the one done, LOL! Just go to my crochet patterns page and click on the link to buy a pattern for this adorable horse!
NOTE: I am only selling a pattern for you to make your own. I am not selling the completed coaster itself.
I am just finishing up taking all my scribbled notes on Squash my Pumpkin Pie Gnome and making them into a pattern. I am going to try and get Squash and Latte my Horse coaster patterns online soon. Thank goodness a friend is helping me :)
😊 After NUMEROUS trial and errors, I think I have finally found a site arrangement I like. Now to quit decorating and start adding things, maybe... tomorrow. Tonight I have a turkey gnome crochet project I need to continue. I would like to set him up to decorate before Thanksgiving... LOL 😅 I found the pattern online, by Passionate Crafter. It is sooo cute❣
