It's been a long, long time since I posted a knit or crochet pattern. After baby number three arrived, the spare time for these kind of things seemed to become nonexistent, but one of my biggest goals for the new year was to get back to the things that I find most fulfilling, and crocheting is one of those things. I've been making these toddler cowls for awhile now, my daughter ... Read More
Crocheted Mini Bunting
I recently whipped up this mini bunting to hang in Ella's nursery, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the way it turned out. I love the touch of whimsy and the punch of color it adds to her room. I wanted to share the super simple pattern that I came up with, if any of you just so happened to want to create one of your own. What I love most about this project ... Read More
Crocheted Pumpkins | A Pattern
I've been seriously slacking on my DIY posts, so I thought I'd share a quick and easy pattern for some festive little crocheted pumpkins that I turned into a garland, because well, I'm a sucker for a good seasonal/holiday garland. These literally work up in minutes, and you can make as many or as few as you'd like! Materials: I used a size H (5.00 ... Read More
Swoon Worthy
I'm currently in the middle of planning our family summer vacation, and I am over-the-moon excited that in just a couple of weeks, we will be piling the whole family into the car and heading off for what I am sure will be a super relaxing (I'm obviously being sarcastic here) road trip to Maine!!! I haven't been home since before Max was born, over 2 years ago, so ... Read More

Crochet Baby Turban Pattern
After first seeing a crocheted baby turban via Pinterest, I just knew I had to make one for Ella Rose. I reviewed several hat patterns, and eventually created one of my own that resulted in a stylish mini turban that is too cute for words. This hat requires only basic crochet stitches, and works up fairly quickly. It makes for a great baby shower gift, or if you're anything ... Read More
Time Crunch
It is officially April now. The month our little lady is estimated to make her debut into this world! Today marks 27 days until my due date, but I am hopeful for another early arrival, seeing as Max arrived 8 days early. With all that being said, the time crunch is officially on. I sat down the other day to write a to do list... At the top I wrote, "things to do before ... Read More
Crocheted Easter Egg Garland
In case you haven't picked up on it by now, I have a slight obsession with holiday themed garlands. After making a crocheted shamrock garland to hang on our mantle for St. Patrick's Day, I was determined to come up with one for Easter as well. I played around a little bit, and finally came up with what I think is a pretty simple pattern to create these adorable Easter ... Read More
