Hello again! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at an Amigurumi bear with a bow that I recently made. Let’s get started! This is actually the fourth interpretation I’ve made of this pattern. (I’ll link to those other versions here and here.) It’s proved very customizable! I made this bear for my youngest niece as a birthday…
Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be taking a look at one of my latest crochet projects: a crocheted elephant lovey. Let’s get started! Unfortunately I didn’t get very good photos of it, but here it is! I made it for a friend’s new baby. Somehow, whenever I think of making another lovey, I forget about how difficult the making…

Hello! Today on Simply Saturday we’ll be talking about making skirts out of shirts. Let’s get started!

Hello! Today’s Reading Wednesday post is going to be a little more festive as we take a look at Louisa May Alcott’s Christmas Treasury. Let’s begin! Considering the season, I was taking stock recently of what books I had that concerned Christmas. Of course, I have the typical A Christmas Carol, etc, but I also have this little collection of…
Today we’re talking about knitting and crocheting. At least, the supplies you need to do them. Let’s get started! This week I had a slight dilemma over what to post for Simply Saturday. The problem is the projects I’m working on are gifts. I wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise, since the recipient might possibly stumble across this blog. 😉…
