- New Pattern!
It feels good doesn’t it? I’m talking about the fact that many states are starting to open up; not completely, but even a little bit of freedom is wonderful to experience during the last couple months of being confined. Warmer weather certainly helps too – I’ve been spending far too much time outdoors looking at my messy and overgrown backyard. But I’m enjoying the sunshine, hearing the birds sing, and watching lizards dart around. My little hummers are busy and the doves are cooing – I just love the sound of doves!
This coming week my menu plans are back as more ingredients seem to be hitting the shelves. While I was finally able to get rice and powdered sugar, we now can’t find flour, hand soap, or coffee K-cups! But my recipe plans I hope are more solid this coming week. I admit, I’m having two of the recipes I planned for next week, already… but those recipes I skipped over from last week will be cooked in the coming week – are you as mixed up as I am yet? LOL
On Wednesday I’m sharing an article by Sara Bailey on how to keep your kids engaged with indoor activities that not only teaches, but will bring out their creativity while having fun – regardless if it’s raining outside or they’re under quarantine!
And then on Thursday a brand new dishcloth pattern will be published. Like I say, there can never be enough especially when we all find ourselves cooking more then ever! And Friday, another Top Five Friday Finds that will feature five fun dishcloth patterns you’ll want to include in your arsenal!

Here’s the pattern I described last week!
Our crochet filet runner worked in a diamond-shaped grids remind us of country gingham! Each narrow end boasts delightful spider web stitches that end in points for the perfect thread runner.
Featured Patterns
Spring Garden Dresser Scarf
This lovely crochet scarf is enhanced with petite pineapple butterflies on opposite ends and Irish crochet roses to create a beautiful accent piece for your home.
Simple Mothers Day Runner
Sometimes the simplest of designs are the best – a case of where less is more! With our Simple Spring Runners Set, our bunny, tulip and rose filet runners boast purposeful borders with a plain center. Don’t hide the design, showcase it! This is a filet design.
Mom’s Rose Lattice Runner
Most any filet crochet piece comes together beautifully when coupled with roses and hearts. Our runner is then edged with a textured lattice border embellished with dainty three-dimensional rosebuds. Delicate hearts accent the center to create a lovely piece for your home, or for gift giving.
New Pattern!
This doily features a textured center worked in post stitches that transcends to the delicate and country style spider web stitch and finally encircled with pineapples! Worked in glacier ice it reminds me of the sea and summer breezes.
