A simple single crochet chain can make a cute Spring bracelet. When they have conquered that, teach them double crochet! Moms, you can learn too. What a nice Mother's Day past time!

Happy Mother's Day to all!

Too cute and funny...you can knit your own wedding! Die hard fans, here you go!!! From Fiona Goble's "Knit Your Own Wedding" (via Country Living)

I have some fur yarn lying around somewhere! Aren't these cute!!!!

I saw this clutch from Chanel's 2010 Spring line and this photo has sat on my desktop since then. So I think of endless possibilities for a crochet clutch. This is too cute!

My apologies for being adrift for so long on my blogging. I moved house (the joke is still told about my yarn and knitting books!), started a full time job and then it was Christmas!!!!

So with the move, I discovered a hidden stash of yarn that I long since thought I had sold. I have a ridiculous amount of yarn, so over the next 2 weeks, I am going to place some on sale on Ebay at very good prices!
Stay tuned!!!

Now, the sewing fun begins! You can order my fabrics through Spoonflower when you click on a fabric you like on the Fabric page. This will take you to my Spoonflower page. You will need to sign up to see it (that's easy). Here's a sneak peek (above) and on the Fabric page. Soon, you will be able to order patterns too!!! I am so excited about this new project! I hope you like the patterns and choice of fabric. Any suggestions of more you would like to see, would be most welcome.
