Crocheted Granny Hexagon Join As You Go Blanket
Once upon a time I shared with you a crocheted hexagon blanket in progress, and somehow never got around to photographing the finished item. So now, three years later, and just in time for your holiday and winter crochet project planning, I present to you the Crccheted Granny Hexagon Join As You Go blanket. This fits a twin bed, but a smaller (and quicker) version would make a fantastic baby blanket. You can do the hexagons as solids, or go for a polka dot look, or both as I've done. One disclaimer: the only reason that I ended up making solid hexagons around the border of the blanket is that…

Recycled Cardboard Tube Owls And A Tree
Here my friends is a simple craft for fall, or anytime really, using the simplest of materials with fun results. One can of course use toilet paper tubes to make owls, but this time around I decided to use a paper towel tube to make tow paper towel tube owls! And that fun tree? I used a really thick aluminum foil tube, one of many I have yet to craft with! So there may just be a whole forest coming soon, sounds like so much fun to me, as I have been a bit craft deprived of late. This craft is fun to make with younger kids or an idea…

Crocheted Vase Using T-Shirt Yarn
A quick crocheted vase using some scraps of t-shirt yarn (to make it super quick!) and either a glass or plastic bottle with a wide mouth is the perfect summer project! Fill your crocheted vase with cuttings from plants, like heart shaped philodendron and pathos that can grow in water, or gather some wild flowers and enjoy. The rustic feeling of the large stitch makes it perfect for use indoors and out, not to mention that this project is a great stash buster, so go ahead and use up all those odds and ends! Come winter a crocheted vase like this is pastel colors looks great filled with branches, but…

I haven't seen this idea anywhere, so please do give me credit for it if you're inspired to make your own, and actually this came about as a result of now quite succeeding with my original idea, which was something totally different! Love when that happens! One could of course use any really chunky yarn for this, but I just love the results with the…
