My Cotton Candy Shawl

The Celestial Elfy Earflap Hat And Free Pattern!

The Fibro Voodoo Doll!

Do you ever feel like a Voodoo Doll? If you have fibromyalgia, Lupus, or any other pain filled chronic illness you might understand what I mean. Pain that comes out of nowhere in places where you least expect it at times can make you feel like some evil person is out there poking pins into a little voodoo doll with your name on it.

A Rainbow Dash For My Little Sister

After a year of crocheting, last spring I fell in love with a type of crochet called amigurumi, which is crocheted stuffed animals. They are so much fun to make. As I am crocheting these animals, they come to life. I know that what I’m making is something special for someone to love and cuddle. So when I started thinking of something to crochet my little sister for her 13th birthday, I knew I wanted to make her an amigurumi. But what? She has always loved collecting little figurines and one of her favorites to collect are the My Little Ponies. She even has her favorite pony, Rainbow Dash, as a mural on her wall.
