Chalk it up... Okay, that was a bad joke...

-
Did I mention that Angela is the most awesome roommate in the world? And do you know why? Because she had a giant green chalkboard for us to hang in our living room! This has been up for quite a while, and as you can see we encourage people to draw on it as much as they like. And when it filled up we snapped this pic and erased it to start over. We always have a lot of fun with it, right now we're working on our friend's anagrams, making a family tree-style chart with all of them, eh, you'll just have to see it when it's full again. I recently went to see my friend Jill's art show at the college, she's so cool! And every time I go to an art show it makes me want to work on my art, so I've been doing just that. I have some new drawings and a collage piece in progress, who knows when they'll be done though. Anywho, come visit me and you can draw on my living room wall, ha!

Crocheted Produce Bag

Well, I thought since the produce bag was something I just made up real quick I should post the pattern. I am sure there are way better ones out there, but most of them end up decreasing at the end to get a smaller opening, but I wanted mine large so leafy stuff that I buy in multiple little bunches could poke out, like baby broccoli or bok choy. So here is the pattern, just in case you want to make a couple as well. Materials: 1 skein Lion Brand Organic Cotton Yarn (#680), or similar worsted weight yarn Size I-9 Crochet Hook Little scrap of fabric (optional) Rnd 1: Begin with an adjustable loop , and crochet 12 double crochet (dc) into the loop and pull tight. Rnd 2: *Chain 7, skip 1 dc and slip stitch in next dc.* Repeat around. It should look like a little flower: Rnd 3: Chain 7, Slip stitch (slst) into 4th chain (ch) of round 2. You will ch 7 and attach it to the center of every little petal of the flower you created in round 2. At the end of the round ch 3 and slst into the 4th

A Mug Cozy Tutorial

Another year is over-and-done-with and a bright, shiny new one is ready to go. I can't wait! I always make really broad new year's resolutions so that I usually accomplish at least one. One thing I want to make sure to do this coming year is more giving on ye olde blog. I'm going to post more free tutorials and patterns, (I've been hoarding a few in hopes of selling them in my etsy store but I figure it's way more fun to have people stop by my blog to see them for free instead!) and I want to do a couple giveaways here and there. I feel silly sometimes because every year I mean to do a "blogiverssary" post and give something away in celebration, but I end up missing it every time. Come this next July my blog will be 4 and darn it I'm going to celebrate! This thing is by far the longest running project I've ever done and I love it so much! Anywho, on to the start of my new year's resolution, a mug cozy tutorial for you all! Crocheted Mug Cozy Pa
