I can’t decide if this would be classified as a recycling craft or junk crafting. Either way, it was way cool to make. This patriotic flag made from bottle caps was a fun project, mainly because it was simple and turned into wonderful wall decor for my home. I do feel I need to clarify […]

Easter Basket Stay-At-Home Projects
I’ve been having a bit of trouble getting motivated the last few weeks. With fears of COVID-19 and the stay-at-home orders you would think all this free time would result in an abundance of completed projects, but my head and heart have not been into it. Small quick projects are the only things I have […]
Another quick ornament for your Easter tree. This rustic wood cross ornament is made using chopsticks! If you haven’t mastered the art of eating Chinese food with chopsticks (and you have a drawer full of them because you opted for a fork instead), then this is the project for you. Another great Easter craft while […]
Which came first, the bunny or the egg? Yeah, I know that’s not the way that question is usually worded, but in this case it makes perfect sense. This Crochet Bunny Egg is made with a plastic Easter egg inside. When I started designing this bunny I was going to use the egg instructions in […]
As with all of us, you and your kids are probably scared, nervous and wondering what else is going to change or be cancelled because of COVID-19. While I can’t answer what will change, I do know Easter will not be cancelled, although it may be celebrated a bit differently this year. This is a […]

I love decorating a tree for Easter and I gather a new “tree” every year from my yard. It’s really just a small branch with a few smaller branches attached. I stick it in a vase and secure it with gravel or floral marbles. After that it’s time to “trim” the tree with ornaments. While […]

Crochet T-Shirt Yarn Farmhouse Tray-Free Pattern
I may have a problem. I like fast crochet projects and the fastest projects are the ones that use bulky or chunky yarns. Crocheting with t-shirt yarn (tarn) is one of my favorite chunky yarns to use. While that probably doesn’t seem like a problem, my growing stash of hoarded t-shirts might be. T-shirt yarn […]
Don’t throw those bits and snips of leftover fabric scraps! Make your own scrap fabric twine instead! If you’re anything like me, you already have a box or two (or ten) filled with those fabric scraps you just couldn’t bring yourself to dispose of. After all, they might be just the right thing for a […]
