Here's another of my #palettecleanser projects, little projects that take little time and little yarn, but give big satisfactions and hopefully, big smiles too - pun intended! I hope you find lots of fun uses for these crochet lips appliques! I originally made them...
In tech, there's this idea of dog-fooding, or eating your own dog food. As strangely disgusting as it sounds, it just means that you are willing and use your own products. In the crochet world, I've always said that I want to make things that are beautiful and...
It's almost October and time to start your holiday crocheting! I'm terribly proud of myself for having prepared for Christmas this far in advance with my Scandinavian Santa Gnome. Now to get crackin' on other projects! This Santa Gnome is part of my ongoing...
