Crochet Bunny Hat in time for Easter

Crochet Bunny Hat

Learn to crochet this Bunny Hat

A Crochet Bunny hat seemed like the natural project with Easter just around the corner. It’s a fun and easy Crochet Hat. You can adjust the sizes to make it from baby to adult sizes. The hook recommendations are just a general recommendation. Everyone crochets at a different gauge. I tend to crochet and knit on a tighter side. You will need medium weight yarn. I chose white and pink but you can choose your own colors. I have made this same in a Light brown and beige for boys. You will begin by crocheting my basic beanie in White medium weight yarn.

How to make a simple Heart Graphs without fancy software

Heart Graph

Learn how to make simple graphs without fancy software. First a disclaimer: I am not a professional artist. As if that wasn’t obvious. However I can draw some basic things. I love seeing all the crochet and knit projects using graphs. I used to do some cross stitch needlepoint back in the day so I am familiar with following a graph. Making your own simple graphs is not difficult. I am technology challenged. I still do so much stuff the other fashioned way.. using a pen and paper. Here is how I made the heart graph to use in my Valentines Day square.

A Crochet Heart seemed like a fun project to make . Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. I wanted to make a project to go with that special day of love.

I didn’t want the regular blanket. I wanted to come up with something cute and that says how much I love her. This might be the answer. My square is almost ready. I just need to sew in the yarn tails.

Pretty, Fun and Easy Christmas Ornaments – Great for Kid Project

Easy Christmas Ornament using Wire

Fun and Easy Christmas Ornaments.

Before I had kids all my Christmas ornaments were made of glass. Well at least the ones I bought at the store. I have always enjoyed crafting and making my own Christmas ornaments but when I had kids the Christmas ornaments began to disappear year after year. This was mainly due to the fact that they kept getting broken as we would decorate the tree with the kids. This is a great tradition but it can be costly and even dangerous. So reluctantly I moved onto plastic Christmas ornaments. The first ones that came out were not that attractive and you could see the seams which was not good. However with time these plastic Christmas ornaments have become quite good.

I like to make different Christmas ornaments each year and put up on a tree we use in the family room which is decorated only with homemade decorations. I have decorations on that tree that were made with my children. It always brings back happy memories when I see that tree. I also have a separate tree in the living room with only store bought decorations or decorations that have been given to me by others. This year I have been busy coming up with other decorating ideas.
