About Me

My photo
I am married and have two beautiful daughters. I have dabbled in numerous different crafts over the years. I haven't done any paper-crafting in a very long time. About 10 years ago I picked up a crochet hook and started a blanket for a friend. Like with many of us life got in the way and the project was moved to a box and never completed. In 2019, I severely broke my ankle and was confined to the couch for around 6 months. I picked my crochet hooks back up and haven't looked back. I still haven't finished that first blanket, but I have completed several others. I have even attempted to write a couple different patterns. So you will see this blog take on a new look as I start posting my crochet projects.

Christmas goodie holders

For Megan's Christmas (Holiday) Party I decided to make these cute little goodie holders. Here are 3 of the 27 different ones I had to make. Well they aren't completely finished yet, but you get the idea. There are 4 of each paper design. The tube part is actually paper towel rolls (cut into 2 pieces) and toilet paper rolls. Thanks for looking.

A few Christmas Gifts

I searched and searched for an idea as to what to make Megan's teachers for Christmas this year. We were going to make the cookies in a jar, but then you have to worry about food allergies and likes/dislikes. I didn't want to do a food gift set or even a perfume type gift set. Again, you never know about allergies. Here is what I decided to do for her teachers. Thanks for looking.


A Panda Christmas Gift

After Megan's Karate Instructor told me how much he loved panda bears and loved his birthday card I decided to make his Christmas gift similar to his birthday card. I used the Pagoda Cricut Cartridge and made a 9" tall panda bear. I also used the cartridge for the bamboo. I put the panda and bamboo on a back drop and put it in a 11" x 14" frame. Thanks for looking.

A couple Asian themed birthday cards

I made a couple birthday cards for Megan's Karate instructor. I hope you enjoy looking at them.
