TGIF Free Pattern of the Month!

TGIF FREE PATTERN OF THE MONTH IS HERE !!!

Hi There friends 

I'm so excited to announce my first of a series of free patterns for you.

Cute Hair Bow

(Knit and Crochet)

Here is a little sneak preview...

Now... I have learned something new and I put the pattern for you on a different page. So... to see the pattern just click on the Free Pattern option on the Menu bar on the top banner of my blog ... and you will have it.

My daughter found a fabric version of these bows on Pinterest. She just love them, but I immediately thought... I can crochet and knit them...instead of just sewing them (I'm going to try the sewing version this weekend).

and so I did...I sat down and before I knew... voila... it was done... and I think I'm going to make many more...

she wants it in all colors ... They are so much fun and you can have one done in no time :) 

I hope you enjoy it and hope you are having a fabulous Friday!

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting me here today... 

A little Crochet Fun

The other day I was trying to figure out something fun to make to my friends to give as a little Valentines gift. It is Valentines month after all.
My friend Natalie ( who helps me a lot with ideas, colors and just listening to my crazy endeavors) said she saw a really cute idea for a single needle holder in a book.
Well, after a couple of changes ( you know me by now .. I very rarely follow a pattern completely:) ... Here we are...

These cute little crochet needle holders were born...

a little crochet fun!
