Crochet and pretty things
The Go For Faux yarn is so soft it was begging for toes to be on it! So I made up this super cute rug. I’m loving diamond and triangle patterns right now so I wanted to make sure there were some great shapes included. I think this will look super cute beside the bed! …
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. But when you can’t have real diamonds, this faux fur diamond pillow will be just fine! I am so darn proud of this design. I was hoping to make something that you could buy in a home goods store and I think that’s what the result is. The best …
My husband was looking for a recipe online last week and was getting so frustrated because all of the food bloggers have a little write up before the recipe actually begins. I laughed because we totally do that. On a crochet blog you get a little write up about the journey to the design or …
