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. Speaking of everyone, that would include me as well, since our home…

Fleece Scraps Pouch For Kids Is Perfect For Holding Magnifying Glasses!
Last week just before my favorite little four year old was to arrive for a visit, I quickly whipped up a pouch to hold the magnifying glass I had promised him on his last visit. And of course since I love giving the kind of gifts that are truly exciting and will be used, I made a pouch with a strap so that it could be worn across the body, and added straps to the magnifying glasses so they could be worn around the neck, for convenience and because the largest magnifying glass is actually glass, and keeping it safely around the neck does seem like the best way to…

Chunky And Quick Crocheted Slipper Sock Pattern
Chunky crocheted slipper socks or maybe you'd call them super thick crocheted booties are so much fun to crochet, work up quickly, are a great way to use up odds and ends of yarn, and make a great gift. What more can you ask for? Oh and of course they'll keep your feet warm! Our home gets quite cold during the winter months and we often go to bed wearing socks just like these. I did previously crocheted some crocheted slipper socks for my husband for a birthday/chanukah gift a few years back, and those are still great, and super warm, and much more sturdy, but I love this pattern…

After the blessing is made on the spices all of those where are present sniff the spices, which might be in the form of fresh herbs (in our home we generally use cuttings from my…
