Free Pattern: Doll Blanket with Special Stitch

This little blanket is a perfect size to cover up or wrap up a girl's baby dolls.  My girls' medium sized doll has a 12" head circumference.  I used a stitch that I accidentally made up while I was learning to crochet.  Even now that I know how to make all the stitches correctly, I go back to this one sometimes when my eyes get tired of straight rows of double crochets, or my hands get tired of long stints of single crochets.  It's easy stitch that creates an interesting texture.

Just sittin' here :-)

Since this week our Design Team is sharing their projects with "One for the Boys" theme, I wanted to show you the card that I made for our CHA display.  I really do love how this card has turned out! 

On this card I combined THREE different stamps from our last release - Sitting Luka, Brick Wall and Tire Swing. 

I wanted to show that our Tire Swing stamp is not just for sitting Marci or Luka on it, it can be used as a part of the scene as well.  

This card measures 6" x 6".

Project Recipe:

Stamps: Sitting Luka, Brick Wall and Tire Swing- all from La-La Land Crafts
Papers: Bazzill Cardstock, My Minds Eye
Tools: MS Grass Punch, Silhouette (Tree)

Hugs!!

Free Pattern: Girl's Room Wall Decor Letter 'E'

I thought #1 needed something new on her wall, so I whipped up a big letter E for over her bed.  She and I both love how it turned out.

This would also work for any other letter that is all straight sticks (L, T, H, F, I).
