As we edge into Fall I’m starting to get excited about all the wonderful crochet accessories I’ll be able to wear soon. I’ve enjoyed making sun hats this summer but there is so much more versatility when it comes to winter hats and matching accessories too! I’ve also had lots of fun creating crochet bags and experimenting with different stitches,…
After I’d finished making the CONSTRUCTION BACK PACK, I had some yarn left over. So I thought, hey, why not make a hat to match? Since I’d used cotton for the bag, and it’ll still be sunny here for several weeks, I thought a sun hat would be perfect. So, here it is, my Construction Sun hat. This hat is…
Wow! Can you believe it’s time to go back to school already? Where did the summer go? With my oldest starting school this time I thought I’d make him a special back pack for the occasion. He loves bright colors, cars, trucks, building, running, jumping, all the typical boy things so I came up with this bright orange Construction back…
This week I have a new bag pattern for you! I had a lot of fun designing and making my FAST FORWARD CHEVRON PURSE and it proved to be very popular too.

This week I decided to make myself a new purse. I’m quite picky when it comes to bags so designing and making my own allowed me to customize it just the way I wanted. I had something fun yet practical in mind. It needed enough room inside for my things without being enormous. I wanted a long strap since I…
Ah! Summer is just around the corner and that means it’s almost time for some fun in the sun! I love looking around at what everyone is making and I keep seeing lots of fun boho inspired crochet creations. So, I thought I’d put together a collection to share with you!

I had a lot of fun designing this sun hat for myself and I love how it turned out! I used a the Lily Sugar n’cream cotton yarn – one skein of white and one of red, white and blue ombre. The colors in the ombre skein randomly pooled in a way that gives this hat splashes of color so…
