Hi!!

I just wanted to showcase a few of my favorite earrings & necklaces I have made recently ❤️

Hi all~!

I set up an Etsy page for my handmade crafts & jewelry, and I am stoked to be able to share it with you all!

I make jewelry like this:

And crochet goodies like this!

I would sincerely appreciate if you all could take a moment to check it out ❤️.

The prices of products will lower the longer they stay up, and I’m open to bundles & custom orders~!

Thank you for your time!

Is anyone interested in testing out my simple scarf pattern???🧣❤️🎉

I’ve been attempting to figure out a way to make a beautiful scarf that doesn’t require any ‘difficult-ness’.🤞

This project creates a beautiful ‘ribbed’ effect, which carries across well no matter which yarn you use.

I’ve found myself loving the simplicity of this project, and I adore how easy it is to make.

If anyone is interested in testing the pattern out, please feel free to message me or respond to this post~!❤️

The pattern has worked three times for me, but I do want to make sure it works for everyone before I publish it.

I hope you all like it!❤️🧣

My largest crochet project as a beginner: my new tree skirt! (Our kitties love it <3)

I followed a free pattern, linked here, and I am obsessed! While the pattern provides color changing instructions, I kept mine a solid color (since I had a full yarn that was untouched from a previous project), and I think it turned out stunning.

My favorite pastime has really become finding free (or affordable) patterns, especially ones that can make my home cute and personalized.

Let me know what you all think!❤️

I regret passing up these super cute pillows at the thrift store, but I didn’t know how I would get them clean!!

Any advice??

I’ve made my first pair of leg warmers from scratch! (Ignore the string </3 )

If anyone is interested in my pattern, just let me know.

Hi sillies!

Within the last month or so I have dived head first into crafting; it’s currently all that I eat and breathe.

I thought it might be nice to have tumblr page to commemorate or “show off” some of my silly creations. Today’s craft is:

TP roll ‘santa’!

These silly creatures feature hot glue, a bead, and yarn - at least two tones, white for the beard and another for the hat. (I used my scrap yarn.)

You’ll cut an empty toilet paper roll into 4-5 parts, wrapping your “hat” colored yarn around the cut out toilet paper roll. Once you’ve covered it fully, tie together all the ends with the same color yarn and cut the long ends into the shape of a ‘puff’.

Before moving on, this is where you’ll want to stuff the hat so it keeps its volume. I used my cut off yarn scraps, but you can use a cotton ball.

Next step is your “beard”, you will wrap the yarn around your hand a TON (this will add to the fluffiness). When you’re satisfied, cut the yarn from the ball and remove the wrapped but from your hand. Next step is tying the yarn together and cutting all the loops.

Finally, you will hot glue all of the pieces together; stuff the beard into the hat and secure with glue. (This is where you can glue your nose where you would like).

I can also provide a photo guide if needed.❤️

Happy crafting~!🤭❤️
