I had hoped to make 3 bunnies today… only made one… oh, well! Basically, I followed the old pattern for the Walking Bunny Finger Puppets but added long hearts for the inside of the ears, curved the whiskers up, used buttons for the eyes, and gave her a flower brooch. Other than that, everything else was the …
Yesterday was Bug’s birthday… 7 years old! Normally we do Sunday dinner at our house, but since he had his party here yesterday, Tim and I have a quiet Sunday ahead of us. I want to start making a few things to tuck away in Easter Baskets, so I think I will spend the day Easter …
I love the story of Strega Nona, the benevolent witch that can cure headaches, find maidens husbands, and feed the village with her magic pasta pot. I want a magic pasta pot, don’t you? I can certainly understand why her good hearted, but a bit scattered brained assistant, Big Anthony, found it fascinating. To be very honest, I’m not …

After the strips are made, they are joined together to make your final project. After you learn the basics, have fun experimenting with different weights of yarn and different …
I have finally finished the tutorial for Part 2, Crocheting the Strips, and all I have to say is "Holy Schnikes"! I swear the project itself is extremely easy, but writing the tutorial was a tad bit overwhelming! There are almost 40 photos! I try to be detail minded when I write tutorials so our beginning …

Sending everyone a "felt heart", um, we mean a"heartfelt" wish for a Happy Valentine’s Day! Fondly, Kimara and Michelle Like all our blocks, this one was made to fit a 6” x 6” but can be enlarged or reduced to meet your needs. (Note: I forgot to add the little groupings of 3 tiny flowers on the pattern. They are French Knots …
For those of you waiting on pins and needles for the rest of the hairpin lace tutorial, SORRY! It is much more time consuming than I anticipated… although coming along well… but family obligations call so I’ll be unavailable to work on it for the next few days. I will finish it and have it up …
