Simple Rustic “Love” Embroidery With Gingham
There is something about this little rustic country-style "love" embroidery that is so sweet, and yet made with minimal effort, so of course I just had to share it with you. I think this would make a perfect new baby gift, or look great as part of the decor at a country-style wedding. And of course it would be great anytime to spread the love! While this exact little work of art looked perfect in the all wood Adirondack Victorian cabin where we had the pleasure of spending four days and nights, this might not work for everyone.

Rustic Wire And Fabric Flower Craft
I saw this idea for making a rustic wire and fabric flower sculpture with a wine cork base on our travels just a few weeks ago, and I just had to share it with you!

Crocheted Lacy Toddler Sweater Works Up Quickly
Crocheting for little ones is a great way to satisfy that need to crochet something without going overboard time -wise or yarn wise! And when you make something like this crocheted lacy toddler sweater the size doesn't have to be exact, as a garment like this can be worn several ways, namely on the small side as a bolero, or on the larger side as a sweater. And so, that my friends is how the double crochet placket, neckline and border were born! And really, as long as you have some finished measurements to go by, you really can play around and invent your own sweaters, be brave!

Crocheted Top-Down Toddler Dress With A Lacy Skirt
One of the most pleasurable things to crochet is clothing for babies and toddlers, as garments can be made relatively quickly and the results are truly adorable. Lacy crocheted items for babies is something that could truly be useful and appreciated especially for a special occasion……and one could even crochet gorgeous little flower girl dresses, or at least shrugs or sweaters for a bunch of little darlings. Now, of course most of us use patterns to crochet, but I am now here to encourage you to crochet custom made garments by simply using the measurements of the child! It is true, there may be a few spots where you have…
