Fun and Wacky Wednesday with Little Frog Creations

So cute and so much fun! The Squiddles by Little Frog Creations are the perfect toy for a child! They come in a variety of colors and sets and each have a story too!

Let's Play, It's Saturday!

Here in the Great Northwest, it is not really Spring without the hail, a chance of snow in the lowlands and yes, digging back out the winter coat. In celebration of keeping warm this weekend and still going outside, help your little one be stylishly bundled up in this acorn beanie from Adrienne Kinsella: Handcrafted Goods & Artwork.

On the Homefront with: Curls of Sunshine

All I can say is "Too cute!" Curls of Sunshine is a great shop to stop by for a variety of Amigurumi Crochet patterns. There are little ladybugs like the one pictured above, birds, cupcakes, monkeys and rabbits! If you are looking for a new project to work on this may just be the shop for you!

I Finished that Scarf!

Well after a few long days, I have finished that scarf I started to make a while back: that creation that was my first crochet project in quite sometime. I have to say it came out pretty good! A little long, but what can I say? That is the way that I like my scarfs. I am now working on a hat... I hope I can do it!

But in the meantime... Here are a few of my favorite crochet and knit Etsy Shops!

I love my APPLE COZY !

Recently I purchased a wonderful apple cozy from Unravel Me Designs, and I absolutely love it! I cannot wait to be sitting at my teacher's desk in a year or so, with an apple all wrapped up in its cozy looking as cute as ever!

Learning How to Crochet Again

Good afternoon everyone!

Recently I decided to return to a hobby that I had a few years back, and though I was never good at Crocheting, I thought it would be a good way to relax in between painting projects and while dinner was cooking. Let me tell you, it is going pretty well. I picked up a few small books and am going to soon venture out into making something more than just rectangles, squares, scarfs and pot holders; I am going to make a hat... and not on my round loom (as quick and easy as that is). I am so excited! To celebrate my found again hobby I have posted some images and links from my favorite yarn, and yarn product stores on Etsy.... Enjoy!
