My sweet little Lizzy has super big eyes, as you can see in the picture above. Everyone comments about how beautiful they are. And, though I may be bias, I'd have to agree! And that is why she is definitely part of my inspiration for Miss Olivia the Owl. I love those big eyes! It's always…

Valentine's Day is approaching! My husband and I have never really been that in to Valentine's Day. We don't give each other gifts, but we do use it as an excuse for a date night away from the kids. I definitely need those every once in a while! So I'll be honest that I totally forgot about Valentine's…

I love penguins. Always have. Always will. In fact, my whole family loves penguins. We used to argue about whether they could fly. My brother Stephen would say that they can fly, but they're the smartest of all the birds, so they don't fly when people are around, so that's why there isn't any evidence.…

Yes, that's right. I have another granny square animal for you. This is another copy-cat pattern my grandma had made many years ago. And the only thing I changed was using safety eyes instead of buttons for the eyes. But, who can complain, really? Leo the Lion is just adorable! I made him for my…

Granny squares are some of the simplest things to make when crocheting. I love how quickly they work up. But the coolest thing is what you can make with them. And that is basically anything! So, I introduce to you the Granny Square Elephant! Isn't he cute?! It took me a while to make this…

About a week and a half ago, my sister-in-law contacted me and asked me to make 6 gifts for her. Normally, I would have said no, but this is my sister-in-law, and I love her. Also, she told me that they didn't have to be done by Christmas. That helps. She ordered patterns that I had…

I have wanted to make a snowman for months! I had the idea in my head back in August, but waited until now to actually put it into action. The greatest part was that I already had all the yarn I needed, because the colors are so basic! White, black, orange, green, pink, purple. No…

It's less than 2 weeks until Halloween, so I think it's time I shared the Halloween pattern that I have been planning since July. I originally had a Jack-o-Lantern pattern planned, but my silly husband had a better idea. He made a little joke and said that I should make a "Jacques-o-Lantern" instead. I thought…

My Grandma Felts was a very special woman. I was so happy to have known her even a little, and still ask my mom lots of questions about her to this day. My grandma was deaf, so though we visited her every summer when I was little, I wasn't able to communicate with her very…

My little girls absolutely love baby dolls! I know my first born loves baby dolls because her little sister was born when she was only 19 months old, so she is very used to her mama holding a baby. Lizzy loves baby dolls because Louisa loves baby dolls. So there you have it: we love…
