Do you ever look at some yarn or crochet thread in your stash and wonder what you should make with it? I certainly do! May years ago, I bought 4 balls of Curio, a size 10 cotton crochet thread from the Knit Picks website. I absolutely LOVED the colors that I picked out and the…
If you’ve never crocheted a Magic Square Potholder before, you’re in for a treat! This pattern is so easy that even a beginner can make it successfully! It’s a quick project to make and the pattern is free on my website here. I’ve been crocheting these potholders for many years. In fact, I learned to…
Do you have any crochet projects that are in need of repairing, but you don’t know the first thing about how to repair it invisibly so the damage doesn’t show? I’ve been repairing crochet projects for years and have taught classes on how to invisibly repair crochet projects for many years, as well! If you’d…
It’s that time of year again! Time for Christmas decorating, singing, spending time with loved ones and crocheted gifts/projects! These patterns have been many years in the making! I designed these Christmas stockings way back in 2011, but never got around to crocheting them until last year. Now I’m finally publishing the patterns for your…
Do your finished crochet projects pile up because you crochet faster than you can give, gift or use the finished projects? I know mine do!

Who doesn’t love a new baby blanket? I certainly do! These baby blankets have been finished for many years (8-9 years to be exact), but I never got around to publishing them (what can I say except life has been busy)! It’s about time that they’re available for you to make! The first is my…
Last Spring, the the local church that my husband and I attend had a ladies tea. Since I have lots of pretty china/porcelain dinnerware, along with tea cups and saucers (thanks to my Mom), I offered to set and host a table of ladies. I had so much fun planning and decorating the table that…
Do you want to learn a new crochet technique? I’m going to be teaching some crochet classes this August at the IOLI Convention in Dallas, TX. There will be all kinds of lace techniques taught (like bobbin lace, tatting, etc), but since my specialty is crochet, I’ll be teaching crochet classes. One of my favorite…
After too many months of not blogging, it’s time I got back up on the horse! So here goes. If you’re anything like me, you absolutely ADORE reversible crochet projects, especially scarves! I hate having a wrong (ugly) side on my scarves, so I designed some scarves that are reversible (and a reversible baby blanket,…
Have you tried Overlay Mosaic Crochet, but can’t quite get it to come out right? Well, there’s a fascinating crochet technique called Woven Crochet. It can look a lot like Overlay Mosaic Crochet, but it’s worked completely differently (and it’s quite fun)! It’s also reversible!!! I was first introduced to this technique last year when…
