May 14th 2020 Shop Update. I have a lot of unfinished or just about to begin projects. Do you ever feel like you MUST finish one before starting another? I do, but I start them anyway. It’s like having Crafting ADD or something. I do eventually finish everything. There may be some exceptions. Not many though. This week I talk…
I got a table I like making things. I like making things so much I got an Etsy store. (www.craftedbytw.com if you don’t know by now). I do sell things on there. I get the “Can you make me a” commissions. I have a Square Shop (free version). I sell my things mostly to get some cash to make more…
FABULOUS FALL Being November, I was thinking about the Holidays coming up and wondering how it will go with Covid19 on the loose. There are questions. Can I be with family? It would be hard to not be with family in person. What about getting the necessary food items for the holidays, the turkey for Thanksgiving, the Ham for Christmas,…
or should I say E-Mail? Does anybody use email anymore? Or should I say E-mail? I do. I love getting updates from companies that I subscribe to. Although I would love to, I no longer receive emails from personal friends as we can talk by phone, message, or any number of social media sites. Seems all my emails are from…
Free Pattern Really Free! My first crocheting experience was a making a granny square. There was an older lady named Kaysee who lived in the building across the way from where I lived. I would go to her house quite often and sit and talk with her. She would give me coffee with lots of sugar and cream. We would…
Earthday or Any Day Crafts. I thought I would share two projects to do with the kiddos while they are at home. Some of you are homeschooling and while I am not, nor am I an expert both of these can be used as educational enrichment. I am always looking for fun things to do with my granddaughter and, although…
Irish Rose This pretty rose can be used as an embellishment for hats, purses, clothing and granny squares. It is rather simple to make and once you get the hang of it you can make dozens of them while watching your favorite shows. Irish Rose is a terrific way to use up leftover yarn. I used little bits of leftover…
This is a great crochet stitch, very elegant looking with just enough detail to make it look more complicated than it is. To do this stitch you will need to know how to Chain (ch) Skip stitches (sk) slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), triple crochet (trc) and how to decrease (dc). The size of the yarn and the…
The 3″R’s” Closed for Business I was talking with my husband the other day about recycling. The biggest recycling company in our area (maybe state or even country wide)went out of business. It left a lot people holding the bag, (well not literally), full of plastic bottles and empty cans of soda and energy drinks. I was thinking that when…
As a crocheter and a crafter I use a lot of yarn. I never really gave the type of fiber I was using much thought as I use what works for my project, whether it be cotton or acrylic yarns. I sometimes use what I call Artisan yarns, those made in small batches from hobby farms. My main focus as…
