Have you ever looked on Amazon and found great craft books for FREE???

I have recently as I have been looking for some new ideas.  Yeah, I  know Pinterest is there but I like to look in different places too.

Here are a few books I found for the holidays.  These all were free when I posted them and when I purchased them.  Please check the prices of them before clicking to purchase.

Did you know you can read these books even if you don't have a Kindle or a Kindle app?  Yes you can and this is how I do it.  I downloaded the Kindle app to my PC and I read them right on my computer.  I also can read them "in the cloud" on the internet using no app at all.  How cool is that?




















This one looks interesting!

Crochet Scrubbie

I have been making these little scrubbies for a while now.  They are wonderful for the shower or bath.  They are similar to a netted scrubbie but work similar to a wash cloth.

I have several posted on etsy and am wondering if I should offer the pattern.  They are simple enough to make and take about 2 hours from start to finish for me while I watch tv.

You can make the inside a different color or make them all one color.  I like when I use a variegated yarn as they end up really pretty.  I use a 100% cotton yarn and they wash and dry in the washer and dryer perfectly.

I sell them for $5.50 on Etsy, here and here and here.  

So tell me what you think.  Would you want the pattern?  What would you be willing to pay for it? $2? $3? $5?

My New Etsy Store

I have been SOOOOO busy creating and selling items I have created in craft shows like this one here.

I decided that I would open an ETSY store to sell the items I typically sell in craft shows.

Without further adieu here is my ETSY store.

An Apology. I am sorry....

I am so sorry that I have been remiss in posting for oh, the past YEAR!.

I have been quite a busy beaver with my hands and creating and I haven't posted a THING about them.  For that I am sorry.

Hang in there.  I am posting again and I will have a ton of new stuff and a new look to this blog.  I am trying to merge a few blog accounts together so this may be a bit of a rocky road for the next couple days.  But have no fear, I have a TON of new ideas and new crafts to show you.

Again, I am sorry.
