Blooming Bookmarks

These cute little crochet bookmarks make me want to go grab a book and read something! (Kind of reminds me of that line in "Sweet Home Alabama" where Candace Bergen says, "Why don't you go back to your double-wide and fry something? lol) But... back to the bookmarks... lol

I just finished crocheting 75 of these Blooming Bookmarks for a church in PA. They're going to give each mother one at their Mother's Day service. I think these would be lovely shower/party favors as well.

Here are 2 close-up shots of the flowers:

Cozies, Coasters, and Cups... Oh My!

Today I'm going to share 4 of my newest vintage crochet pattern favorites.

They are all absolutely adorable, and I can't wait to get busy crocheting them!

First off... Tiny Tea Cups and Saucers. These would be perfect to house tiny treasures, earrings... even paper clips! And, of course... they would be the perfect play tea party set for a lucky little girl!

Next up are these lovely Glass Cozy Coasters. They're a cozy and a coaster all-in-one. And they're pretty darn cute, too!

And what's not to love about these pretty crochet Flower Coasters??? Again... simply adorable! And they would definitely be gorgeous appliques!

And last but not least... this beautiful knitted Petunia Teapot Cozy! Seeing this photo really makes me wish that I could knit... and that I was more of a tea-drinker. hehe The body of the Teapot Cozy is knitted... and the petunias are crocheted. I love, love, love this pattern!

PDF patterns for all 4 of these lovely vintage crochet/knitting pretties are available for purchase at my Etsy shop.

Plum Pudding Granny Square Afghan

Remember the first "Plum Pudding" Granny Square afghan I crocheted? Well... I recently completed another LARGER "Plum Pudding" afghan as a custom order for the same lady who bought the original afghan. I guess she liked the first one so much she wanted another one. hehe

She really is a super lady... and it truly was a pleasure crocheting another afghan for someone who loved the first one just as much as I did. But it's getting really hard to part with these babies! I REALLY need to crochet a Granny Square afghan for myself in these colors. But I think I need to give my fingers a rest first. hehe

Vintage Crochet Patterns

There's only one thing better than a crochet pattern...

and that's a VINTAGE crochet pattern!

And that's why I'm so excited to share that I have VINTAGE crochet patterns for sale at my Etsy shop! They're e-books in pdf format, and will be emailed to customers for quick and easy viewing. I only have a few listed right now, but more will be coming soon.

Stop by and have a peak if you love vintage crochet as much as I do! :)

Ice Cream Sundae Afghan

I finished my latest crochet project today...

A blanket for a baby girl...
Or a sweet little lady.

The colors remind me of an ice-cream sundae...
Sweet shades of cherry, mint, blueberry...
Vanilla cream and chocolate brown.

I love traditional Granny Square afghans...
But I decided the first round should be a pinwheel...
And I finished the afghan off with a scalloped edge.

Available for purchase at my Etsy shop. :)

I Love Cupcakes!

Yum! I love cupcakes!

Especially calorie-free ones!

And this calorie-free cupcake scarf is a custom order from my Etsy Shop.

It's just like the one below... only instead of pink "icing,"
it was requested that I "frost" these cupcakes with aqua "icing."
