Marshmallow Mug Hat

Sigh. Are you in love with this crazy thing as much as I am? Sometimes you just need to cast off the sails and do something that makes you happy just for the sheer joy of it. And my friends, THIS is it. Let me tell you about this little Marshmallow Mug Hat. The minute I saw them, I knew they were a perfect add-on Christmas gift for my daughter in law Katie. Katie loves all things cute and I knew these would be just the thing to make her smile. Let's get started on all this cuteness!

Granny's Shopping Bag

This free crochet shopping bag pattern is ideal for those looking to replace their non-eco friendly plastic shopping bag with a handmade, crochet market bag. This Granny Stitch crochet project uses self striping yarn, so the colours really show themselves off to full effect. This pattern is beginner friendly featuring only the basic crochet stitches and the ever popular Granny Stitch - my favourite! I made my Granny's Shopping Bag using Caron Cotton Cakes in shade Garden Oasis and I love the colours. They really remind me of hazy summer days spent shopping for Knick Knacks - and I can fit plenty inside this market bag!

Cell Phone Time Out Hand Towel

I love items that have double functions and add a touch of decor. When it's time to sit at the dinner table I simply drop my cell phone into the hand towel pockets and let it go. I know where it's at and I can hear it if I get a phone call, but the temptation to check social media is set aside. It also sets a good example for my little ones because when they are older I will be asking them to drop their cell phones into the hand towel as well.

Kitchen Stool Cover

Created to cover stools 13” in diameter and 1” thick. There is no gauge with this pattern because the size of your stool is subjective. As is the nature of crochet, the covers are very prone to stretching. The cover will look too small at first but with some muscle will stretch to fit tightly. Make one cover for however many stools you have. One skein I Love This Cotton should make two covers with some leftover.

Smoothie Cloth Set

I love being able to make things for specific needs. Recently I decided a hanging towel would work perfectly in our trailer bathroom. The only problem is there is a hook and not a bar to wrap a tabbed cloth around. I finished the top off with a D ring instead and it is just right. Of course I needed some cloths to match.
