Super Simple Crocheted Flower In One Round……Make A Bunch!
Hey there, I've got the recipe for the simplest crocheted flower ever, simple because you crochet it in just one round, how about that? And better yet, you can use the formula to make teeny tiny, small or medium sized flowers by simply altering some of the parameters…..I've made three sizes so far, this one actually is the largest of them. These crocheted flowers can be used in so many ways, and are the perfect little project to have in your purse, or to make on the go…..each one takes five minutes or less, and in no time you'll have a whole bouquet! Use these flowers to make crocheted flower…

Front Post Double Crochet Stitch Creates A Deep Raised Rib
Hey fellow crocheters, isn't it fun when you come upon a new stitch that you really ought to have know, but didn't? That is what happened with me and the front post double crochet stitch, which produces a deep raised ridge. Of course I have heard of the stitch, as it is used quite often to create crocheted cables and such, just never tried it. In the past I created ribbed crocheted fabric for my ribbed crocheted cowl, and ribbed crocheted hand warmers by simply crocheting in the back loop of the stitch, which is nice, but not enough of a rib for my current needs. If you are up…

Welcome To Craft Schooling Sunday!
Welcome to craft schooling Sunday! I am writing this quickly before sundown Friday night, so that once Shabbat is over 25 hours after that, I don't have to run to my computer to start the party, it is on a timer! Yippee, the more time unplugged the better, right? And the more time for quality time with family, and for crafting and getting out and enjoying nature. I hope you enjoy the features from last week's party, no time for more words than that, enjoy! Love this key holder from pillar box blue and this dresden mini quilt from flamingo toes. DIY night salve…

Cinnamon Roll Cake Pops For The Dessert Bar Are Perfect In A Pinch!
Okay dear readers, I'm off sugar and flour entirely so I'm trying to post this fantastic idea for making cinnamon roll cake pops that look like lollipops without really looking too closely at the photos, and with the idea that while certainly I'm not encouraging folks to eat un-healthfully, sometimes you've just gotta bake that cake or make that special dessert for your child's birthday, a special event in school or important family occasion. If you're like me, and you're trying to mend your ways in the sugar department it may just be advisable to skip the baking and just assemble something from bakery bought items……..and that is where this…

Lantana In Bloom Is Stunning And Drought Tolerant
I have a soft spot for Lantana, the plant which is characterized by balls of colorful flowers that are made up of clusters of the sweetest little flowers you've ever seen. And so earlier this week when I was out and about with my camera one morning, I just had to capture a few shots of these beauties…….. to share with you and to remind myself to plant a bunch in a garden that I've designed and landscaped, as well as in my own container garden. The wonderful thing about lantana is that it comes in intense reds and oranges, as well as in a color combo of light pinks…

The Thorny Caper Weed Now In Bloom Leads To An Interesting Discovery!
The thorny caper, which generally grows as a weed here in Israel, has such a lovely exotic flower, that one can't help but notice it! I've seen this "weed" growing all over the place, and have always thought that it was much too lovely for something that can be a bit obnoxious. And as you'll see from all the photos that follow in this post, I was atually quite captivated by its beauty earilier this week. The funny thing is that I had no idea what this plant actually was called, and had no success in my google search, until I remembered that I have seen the same plant growing…
