Crocheted Bowls

Today I'm sharing two crochet bowls I made for the Etsy shop.

The first is made of natural colored crochet thread and measures 

9.5 across the top and is about 3.5 inches deep.

These bowls are perfect for hostess or housewarming gifts,

 birthdays, wedding or shower decor, 

or simply adding a homemade touch to your home decor.

 The second bowl is a smaller white bowl that measures 

about 7.5 inches across the top and is 2.5 inches deep

Both bowls fit many different styles of decorating including: 

shabby chic, cottage chic, farmhouse, primitive, country etc. 

If you'd like to make some of your own you can find the free patterns here and here. 

Crochet Fall Garland #2

Since the first crocheted leaf garland in my Etsy shop already sold, I decided to make another one -- this time with oak leaves!

I added little leaves in between adorned with raffia and a button.

 Perfect for:

~ hanging  over an old window

~ draping across the fireplace mantle

~ stringing up under a shelf

~ displaying across a doorway

-- the possibilities are as endless as your imagination --

You can find both leaf patterns for free at:

In The Yarn Garden

Crochet Leaf Garland

Here's a crocheted leaf garland I made for the Etsy shop.

Perfect for adding to your autumn decor by:

~ Stringing across your fireplace mantle

~ Hanging on an old window

~ Decorating under a shelf

A bit of raffia tied to the banner gives it a distinctive country feel!

Crocheted Doily Garland

I'm back from vacation and trying to 

catch up on things around home

(like unpacking, putting things away, decorating with the antiques my brother gave me,  weeding the garden, picking vegetables, weeding flower beds etc. etc)

Since we traveled over 2,000 miles - I used my time in the van to crochet some pretty garlands for 

1)my sister-in-law, 2) myself and 3) the shop!!

The first one is made of 100% cotton yarn and is approx.

 60 inches long with motifs measuring 6 x 3 1/2 inches

The second one is made of crochet thread and is approx. 

44 inches long with each motif measure  4 x 1 3/4 inches

I didn't follow any one pattern exactly.
These are sort of a cross between the patterns found at:

5 Little Monsters and

Love City Blog

Another fun looking garland can be found here:

Acorn to Oak

Both of the above banners can be found in my Etsy shop!

Crochet Headband with Interchangeable Flowers

I made this delicate white headband with

interchangeable flowers for my Etsy shop. 

The headband can be made in different sizes and comes

with four different flowers.

The loopy flowers button on and off the headband so you 

can easily match your outfit!

Crocheted Sandals

A friend of mine recently had a beautiful baby girl.

As part of her gift I crocheted her 

some baby sandals she'd been wanting.

I did them in gray and yellow to match the little dress

 I bought her and also included one of my
crocheted baby headband sets.

Mother's Day Gifts

These were the Mother's Day gifts for church ladies this year.

Crocheted Face Scrubbies with pretty wrapped bars of Caress Soap.

I wrapped the bars in brown paper and added a paper doily and mason jar tag.

The finished package was all tied up with twine for a lovely finish! 

  I also included Ghirardelli chocolates - you can't go wrong with chocolate! 

Elegant Market Bag

I just finished this beautiful mesh market tote last night.

This is only my second time to crochet using a chart instead of a written pattern.

I love how elegant this star pattern looks done up in white cotton yarn.

These Eco-friendly mesh bags are great for use as:

book bags

market bags

beach or pool bags

shopping bags

If you'd like to make one of your own you can find the chart by clicking here

Don't know how to crochet?

You will find this bag for sale in my Etsy shop!

Crocheted Basket

Here's a little crocheted basket I made for the Etsy shop.

I decided to experiment and add a bit of white crocheted lace to the top edge.

There are little handles on each side

 This little basket has already sold, but I'm working on some new ideas for more!

Crochet Flower Cards

Here's a set of mini cards I made using tiny crocheted flowers.

These were fairly simply and quick to "quip up," and I love how soft and feminine  they turned out.

I'll be using these for the Shelter: Postmarked ministry.

Crocheted Baby Headband Set

I made this soft baby headband as a gift for a little niece due to arrive sometime this month!

The flower is removable with a clip on the back so you can match babies outfit or use the flowers by themselves.

The flowers  were based on this pattern from:

Attic24

You can find the free pattern for the headband on:

My Merry Messy Life

I love that she has measurements for several different sizes -- I'll be making bigger ones as baby Ava grows!

Crocheted Basket

 I made this little crocheted basket as part of a welcome gift for a sweet friend coming to visit for a few days!
It's fairly quick and easy to whip up - I had this one completed in less than a day.

I thought it would make a nice addition to a dresser or bathroom with beauty supplies inside.

You can find the free pattern here

(Note: I added an extra row of crochet to the lighter part and the big flower)
