Granny square crochet chair cover


You can find tons of things to make with granny square.  Such us this cushion cover for this old worn out chair.

Granny square bag


Another granny square project.  I made few of these simple square granny square crochet bags.  To hold a few counts of peaches I'm giving away today at the office.

My version of chunky yarn



Here's another project I'm using the size "P" hook.  It's another crochet area rug for my bathroom floor.  As you can see I'm using a 3 strand method to get the chunky yarn effect that I need for this project.  I love how it matches my shower curtains.

Small round area crochet rug

Probably my new crochet craving are these crochet round area rug.  This one I'm making is with left over yarn.  So you will see tons of color and shades.  I'm using a size "P" crochet hook or 11.50 mm hook.  


Older apartment


You've probably seen tons of post on my instagram of my crochet and one of my favorite would probably this picture.

My old apartment

Although I just moved in my new place, and it's bigger and brighter in many ways... I still misses my cozy little one bedroom apartment.    There I found ways to make room for all my crocheting needs.

Crochet in my garden

Even in the garden you'll find some used to crochet... like this handy basket for collecting cherry tomatoes and hot peppers.

Travel with crochet


One of the most used crochet item is probably my water bottle cozy.  I take them for walks at the park, traveling, at the beach, festival and even at work.


Crochet in my home

You'll crochet through out my home

Crochet pillows

Crochet and starbucks


This is actually a granny square bag.  If you stop increasing and continue to crochet your granny square, you'll end up with a bag or a pouch of some sort.

Yarn winder


I still have this yarn winder purchased couple of years ago from ebay for few bucks.  Good investment. and tool for crochet hookers.

Craigslist find before and after

When I was younger, I spent thousand of dollars purchasing modern furniture.  Now that I am older and much wiser, I can appreciate the rugged old vintage furniture.  I can easily give them new life by sanding, painting and adding some new hardware.  Just like this craigslist find for $5.00  It is now my new bedside computer desk with plenty of storage.

Another version of this easy crochet cardigan

This hexagon crochet cardigan is another version of the recent one I just posted.  I used a size P hook to create this easy soft flow.

I just love how the color contrast between this yearn and my vintage chair looks.  

Easy crochet cardigan


I really love how this crochet cardigan that my daughter Jamie is sporting.  Working on a video tutorial on it very soon.

Crochet cover for my Macbook air 13"

I love my electronic gadgets.  and they can get very expensive.  Just like this Macbook Air 13", I recently purchased.  So to help protect it from smudges and scratches and bruises,  I crochet a sleeve cover for it quickly with left over yarn.

Crochet for home


a little crochet here in there, you will find in my home.  Like this crochet cover for my planters and yarn balls brings joy to my heart near my window sills.

Bicycle trailer for dogs

I love cycling and I love my dogs.  I hate to leave them behind when I'm off to my little adventure.  So I solved this problem by buying this bicycle cart for dogs from ebay. It was a little over $100 bucks and very easy to put together and collapse for storage.  

Dollar Tree finds

Found these at Dollar Tree store. They are called makeup organizers. But I use them for organizing my scented oil bottles.

Support Red Cross with crochet

Want to support the Red Cross and still make money. Then just buy some yarn by Red Heart. Crochet some milk cozies and you have the perfect gifts for Christmas or sell them online for extra cash. 


Granny square halter top


This was really easy to make.  It is a matter of connecting 7 granny squares.  If you guys wants a video on how to.  let me know in the comment below.

Living room


As I mentioned from my last post, I just moved to a new house and finally getting some much needed organization.  I really love the new spot for my vintage china cabinet turned yarn storage organizer.

Visiting Goodwill one day and they had these yarn art or textile display on their wall by local college student from Wesleyan College.

Chunky yarn crochet blanket

Gave this huge plastic crochet needle a try.  I think I used 3 strands of medium worsted yarn and created this afghan for my king size bed.

Ikea cart for organizing yarn

I really love this cart from Ikea.  It really helps to organize my crochet items and a yarn.  And I love how I can just drag it and roll in any place in my house.

I really love this cart my Ikea.  I love how I can just roll my current crochet project room to room and stay organized.
