With little girls in our house, we often find ourselves engaged in pretend play revolving around fairies, princesses, pirates, and mermaids. For a while, Myla absolutely LOVED mermaids and she asked if she could have a mermaid tail! I had seen crocheted mermaid tails floating around the internet, so I excitedly looked for a pattern so that I could try making one for my sweet girl!

Last year was Myla’s first year of preschool, and when Valentine’s Day rolled around, we thought it would be special to crochet something unique for the children in her class! I have such fond memories of receiving and giving a variety of Valentine’s Day cards to my friends in elementary school. We would construct little “mailboxes” out of paper plates and attach them to our desks to hold all our…

Exactly one year ago in July/August 2014, we announced that we were expecting our second child with our “21 weeks old/21 weeks pregnant” blog post HERE! In that blog post, I stated how I wanted to crochet some special items for our second baby, and I asked my readers for any suggestions they might have! One of my loyal readers named Kristin Isabella Lee listed some great patterns on Facebook…

Twinkie Chan is the queen of whimsical and cute crocheted food, and when I came across her “Swirly Cupcake Hair Clips” pattern and video tutorial, I was immediately intrigued. I absolutely loved the swirly frosting ontop and had always wondered how to achieve this neat design. I quickly searched through my stash to see what sort of “candy-coloured” yarn I had on hand and dived right in!

This past weekend I attended a good friend’s baby shower, and I was so happy to gift her with some crocheted goodies! A while back, I came across a really cute pattern for a “Foxy Stash Basket” on the “Yarnspirations” website HERE. I thought it would be a wonderful gift as it would not only make an adorable addition to the baby’s nursery, but also have the functional ability of storing items…

It’s so special whenever you incorporate items that you’ve crocheted in your home or workplace, and I have been loving this new crocheted piece that I use on a daily basis that goes whenever I go in my purse! I found this easy pouch pattern by Melissa “Missa” Hills HERE and was so excited to give it a try. I knew which colours I wanted to use- one of my favourite combos….grey and pink!

Remember the chunky crocheted basket that I blogged about here? I loved it so much that I decided to make some bigger ones! The smallest basket on the right (in the first picture) was made by following this pattern here. The medium and large baskets were made by following the “Ombre Basket Pattern” found here on Liz’s blog called “Crochet in Color” with some modifications.

Granny Square Baby Blanket

A baby blanket was one of the first items I wanted to crochet as soon as I found out I was pregnant many months ago! When I was younger, I started crocheting a few afghans with the ambitious hope of completing them all, but I usually got distracted by other projects and the sheer size of these blankets seemed so daunting. I knew making a baby blanket would be easier, however, since it would be…

While browsing the many lovely images on tumblr, I came across a picture of a beautiful chunky crocheted basket. I was delighted to see that a free pattern was available through a wonderful blog called “Crochet in Color”. Liz has three free patterns for baskets, and I decided to try this one here. I immediately went out and bought the super bulky yarn Liz recommends to create a stiff and…
