While it’s not exactly “sit on the couch and crochet” weather in Toronto these days, I did recently finish off this crocheted afghan that I wanted to show off. I love it. It was a bit of a challenge at times for me to make but I love the final results. You can get […]

Custom Wedding Place Cards
I got mildly crafty for our wedding with a couple of DIY projects. The first of which was the heart ring bearer “pillow” that I crocheted. While we had a cocktail wedding reception, we still had two tables reserved for our immediate family. I wanted to do something to designate just who these tables were […]
African Violet Square Crochet Blanket
About four months ago, I began crocheting this African Violet blanket. This week, I finally finished it and I couldn’t be more pleased. I know that I made it so it may be a big egotistical to say, but, man alive, it’s beautiful! If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you have no doubt […]
Crocheted Ring Bearer Cushion
In case you haven’t guessed it, I’m starting to really get into this wedding planning thing. We are trying really hard to stick within our budget so I am looking to save money where I can. I am also really wanting personal touches into everything possible. Basically I want everyone and everything involved with the […]
Crocheted Chevron Blanket
Tonight I’m going to my friend Andrea’s for a nerding out ladies crochet/craft night so I thought that it would be a good opportunity to show off this chevron blanket that I recently crocheted. I found the pattern called Seafarer’s Blanket on the Michael’s website. I am not normally a fan of blue but I […]
Sunday Food & Crochet Ramblings
Does anyone know where April went? Because I sure don’t. We came home from our trip out West in early April and it seems as though we landed running. April has been spent with lots of family time, catching up with friends and a ton of photo taking. It’s been a very full month. After […]
The latest in my craftiness
I have been slacking a little on my personal blog and realised that I haven’t posted anything crafty here since August. It’s not that I haven’t been geeking out with my crochet needle, it’s that I have been busy with other things like taking photos and seeing new places (oh, and the holidays took a […]
Crocheted Baby Blanket
What a labour of love it has been crocheting this sweet blanket. At times I felt that I was battling something when I had to rip out rows of it at a time. But – golly gee – it’s completed and I made this beauty all by myself. It is probably the most complicated thing […]
Crocheting Cacti
So I will admit it, I really like crocheting. I like the simplicity that it can be and I like doing little projects. I am often the nerd sitting at home on any given night watching old episodes of The Wire and crocheting like mad. I love it. I recently started crocheting these cute little […]
Just Call Me Granny (again)…
About a year ago I learned to crochet. It was something that I had always wanted to learn and once I got going on it, I actually really enjoyed it. You may remember that my first project was a blanket for myself. Last summer when I realised that I would be spending Christmas in Australia […]
