WIP Crocheted Dishcloths for Christmas Gifts

What crafty project are you working on this week? 

WIP Wednesday: making crocheted holiday gifts while snuggled under my blanket

Unfortunately it is that time of year when all kinds of bugs are going around. My daughter and I have both been stricken with some illness the past few weeks. On the bright side, it gives me a good excuse to snuggle under my big purple blanket on the couch and crochet while catching up on some of my favorite TV shows.

Handmade Kids Crocheted Beanie Cap and Butterfly

Crocheting Kid's Caps and Butterflies

Handmade beanies and butterflies for the little girl in your life!

These two crochet projects were adaptations from some that I found on Pinterest and pinned to my "Crochet Cuteness" board - the place where I bookmark bunches and bunches of free crochet patterns and inspiration for new creations.

Free Crocheted Snowman Holiday Pattern

Quick & Easy Snowman Gift to Crochet

Stitch up several of these for handmade holiday gifts this year!

I promised another snowman pattern a while back and here it is. This one I made for my daughter and she picked the bright colored hat and scarf. This new free pattern is for a bit taller one than the last free crocheted snowman pattern I posted. As with the other pattern, this one is also very quick and easy to make using cotton yarn. 

Come see me and my handmade felted goodies at the No Coast Craft-o-rama this weekend in Minneapolis! Shop, browse, and buy!

If you live in the Minneapolis area or just happen to be there this weekend, don't miss out on the No Coast Craft-o-rama. It is an extravaganza of top notch handmade arts and crafts. I will be a vendor this year, and I'm thrilled about it! I'll be selling a wide range of my felted goodies from hats to scarves to wrist cuffs to needle felted jewelry to brooches to wallets to . . . and the list goes on and on. I'll literally have hundreds of items displayed for sale. Some of them you can see in the photo above, and there are some brand new items that are not listed in my Etsy shop too. Besides my felted goodies, there will also be dozens of other vendors with handmade items from soaps to screen prints to jewelry to . . . well, the list goes on and on.

I will be in booth number C-4 (right by an entrance area). If you plan to go, please look me up on the vendor map and stop by. I'd love to meet you! Be sure to introduce yourself and let me know that you read my blog. And, as far as my blog goes, this will probably be the last post that I make until early next week because I am knee deep in handmade felted goodies in preparation for the big event. I will also be putting my Etsy shop in vacation mode later today or tomorrow until sometime early next week. If you've had your eye on anything there, I'd suggest that you snatch it up now. With over 10,000 visitors expected at the two day show, I don't know what I'll have left when I return (hopefully not much!). You can find more info about the No Coast Craft-o-rama below or visit the website for complete details. I sincerely hope to see you there!
