Monday January 4, 2010

I've updated the project gallery with a new idea for using the craft foam block cover pattern. The new addition is a Valentine's Day arrangement.

This is a project that you can enjoy even if you don't have a "significant other" in your life on Valentine's Day. It's great if you do, but this is a project that can also be shared with co-workers, colleagues, friends, and family.

Beata's Pretty Crocheted Flower Designs

Sunday January 3, 2010

Beata at Rosehip.typepad.com has posted some beautiful crochet patterns, plus plenty of eye-candy photos.

Her dimensional flowers were inspired by similar vintage flowers, and she has shared her interpretation of the pattern. She also posted a free crochet pattern for squares incorporating the floral motif. Then she created gorgeous cushions using these motifs.

I had discovered Beata's blog awhile back and bookmarked it, but was reminded about it again during a recent visit to Heidi Kenney's blog. Heidi also worked the same pattern, and she posted photos of her finished motifs awhile back. They are so pretty!

A New Twist on Crocheting for Charity

Sunday January 3, 2010

I found a Boston.com article that I just have to share.

Many of you are familiar with the idea of crocheting for the homeless. Did it ever occur to you how rewarding it could be to teach a homeless person how to crochet?

I hope the article will inspire you as much as it has inspired me.
