How-Tuesday #7!

Hey there! This week we have a recipe for a sweet take on chips and salsa, a cool hardware store bracelet, and a secret box made from a book!


This looks like a fun and delicious recipe. Fruit salsa with a sweet cinnamon-sugar version of tortilla chips. Here is the recipe!


This bracelet is great, and you can easily get all the supplies for next to nothing from a hardware store or even your own toolbox. The great photo tutorial is here.

And lastly, a fun little tutorial for turning an old book into a secret box to store valuables. Here is the how-to.

    I've got that bracelet on my to-do list. Next time I'm at the hardware store those hex nuts are going to be at the top of my list.

    Thought I'd stop in and say Hi *waving*. I haven't talked to you in a long time.

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
