I love mandalas, because they can really freshen up your home decor and give a fresh touch to your rooms. You can use this mandala for instance as a coaster, wall hanging, or a coffee table decoration. The size will depend on the hook and yarn you'll use.

"Short and Stout" Tea Cozy
This crochet pattern uses basic crochet stitches in combination with post stitches for the top ribbing. It uses a button closure to wrap and secure the tea cozy around the teapot. This pattern is available for free download on Ravelry. It uses less than 100 yards of DK weight yarn so it can be a good stash buster project.

Plastic Bag Holder - Free Crochet Pattern
Recently we made a move into a new house, as we were unpacking I began to collect a large pile of plastic grocery bags. I generally use this bags pretty often so I didn’t want to throw them away. That’s when I realized I didn’t have a bag holder to put them in. Moving can be pretty expensive so the last thing I wanted to do was purchase one knowing full well I could make one myself, so I did!
You can easily make this bag as long as you want to fit more grocery bags, my family is pretty small so I made a smaller bag holder. If you want a larger one just work more rounds in-between the increases/decreases.
I always recommend using cotton yarn when working an anything household related. For this pattern I used Peaches and Cream’s Cotton yarn which you can find HERE. They have so many colors to choose from!
