Dino Hoodie

First off I wanna say I LOVE PINTEREST!! I seriously think I may have an addiction to it... I may need meetings or an intervention! I mean seriously I go on there to look up a recipe and an hour later I have pinned a hundred different things and still haven't found the recipe that I went on there for! LOL! Seriously, Does anyone else have this problem??

Anyway... I am writing today to show you my latest most favorite Pinterest post that I have found lately. I find pins that I love all the time but it has to be one that I REALLY Love for me to make it right away. Well this one was one of those OMG gotta make it right now kinda things!!

The Dino Hoodie....

First I made it with just spikes. Then I decided to add the applique to give it a little something extra...

i think I definitely like it better with the applique. I can't wait to experiment with different color combos and appliques!

I found this tutorial here. It is a really cute blog with lots of cute ideas, tutorials, and recipes!

These are so cute and I knew right away I had to try it. My son has been obsessed with anything Dinosaur since he was just a baby and I knew he had to have one of these. I was right! He LOVES them just as much as I do and really loves the fact that his friends think it is "so cool" & say "your mom really made that?"

Please let me know what you think and feel free to share your pics if you make one. Don't sew?? well you can buy yours in my Etsy shop here.
Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you will be back soon!!

Crochet plastic bag holder w/ free pattern

I have recently become hooked on making Crochet shopping bag holders. I think most us us have a drawer or a cabinet full of those plastic shopping bags. I would get so aggravated when I open my cabinet and bags start to fall out. So I got to thinking I have ton or yarn why not make something to contain all of these bags. Then I set out to  Pinterest on a mission to find a pattern to make my own. my favorite that I have found so far is by  crochet it creations . I followed the pattern until the end where decided to make it all one piece instead of making the top separate an sewing it on. I did the last row in Triple Crochet an made a chain of around 60 and threaded it through the top like a draw string an then joined it to the beginning to make a loop to hang it with. Find pattern  here I as able to get 3 total out of one skein of Super Saver Ombre. Only 2 were pictured because someone wanted the first one as soon as I finished it! This one is made from that Wa...

Ninja Turtle Crochet pattern

It has been awhile since my last post and I think I am well over due for a FREE PATTERN!!  In 2013 by far hands down my most popular hat was the "Ninja Turtle". I couldn't make them fast enough! It seemed that everyone wanted one and in every size from newborn to adult. I used my favorite basic hat pattern that is my go to foundation for most all of my hats. If you don't have a favorite hat pattern you can find some really great ones on Etsy. The one I use is a simple double crochet beanie hat pattern. Now for the fun pat.... How do I make go from a basic beanie to a Ninja Turtle? Well it is actually quite simple... First I make the first few rows of the hat in a kinda sage green (like a turtle) then I put a strip of about 4 rows in what ever color the customer wanted depending on which Turtle they wanted it to be. For example I would use red, blue, orange, or purple. After completing the 4 color rows (that make the "eye mask") I do 4 more rows of green....

Best Ever Crochet Hat/Beanie Pattern!!

After many request for a hat pattern I decided to come up with my "favorite" which is a combination or patterns I have used over the years and taken my favorite parts from to make "the best ever crochet hat pattern"!! With every pattern I ever tried it seemed that each hat was to short, too long, too big, to small... blah blah blah... For years I have been making beanie hats and adding faces to them and such for gifts, photo props, and everything in-between. After spending money on many patterns and much trial and error I finally came up with the perfect pattern. I have been making it from memory forever, it seems like, but I figured with so many request I should try to put it on paper and share it with everyone. So here goes... I will start with a toddler /small child size since that seems to be the most popular.  With this pattern I used an "I" hook and Worsted Weight yarn. Hobby Lobby's "I Love this Yarn" and Redheart's "With...
