Punch Needle Bunny- DIY Craft
Hey everyone! It’s Amy from curiouspapaya. Maybe it’s this exceptionally cold weather – but it feels like this year’s winter has been EXTRA long! I’m itching to feel the sunshine again. (Okay, I know I shouldn’t be complaining because I live in California – but even here, we’ve been needing to gear up in uggs and heavy parkas for the 30 degree mornings and freeze warnings). Anywho, what better time to try out a new hobby while we’re bundled up at home? Ever since I saw Country Peony’s punch needling…

Pixie Pebble Bucket Hat- Crochet Pattern
Hi loves! It’s me, The Crochet Faerie, back with ANOTHER Pixie Pebble Design. I just can’t help myself, but can you blame me? This stitch pattern is cute, fun, easy, and works up so quickly! What’s not to love? I will eventually advance my focus to more intricate patterns and textures, but I think it’s essential to also enjoy where we are at the given moment. The Pixie Pebble series was something I started as a chronically ill person in the midst of extreme brain fog. I struggled to come…

Projector Cover- Sewing Pattern
To all my fellow sewists out there, have you ever felt the slow back pain creeping in when you’re cutting, taping, and cutting (again) paper patterns? (Maybe it’s because I often do this when I’m sitting on the floor since I don’t have a big enough table.) But anyway, if I’m being honest, putting paper patterns together is one of my least favorite parts of sewing. Not only that, but you also have to consider how to store these patterns after you’re done both physically and electronically (for printed PDF…

Hey Clover Family, are you an avid reader that enjoys cross-stitching? Well, I have the perfect spring bookmark for you!

Something Knitted, Something Blue Wedding Shawl- Knitting Pattern
Greetings fellow crafters! Hannah here, the knitwear designer, blogger, and maker behind Bears Den Essentials (@bearsdenessentials) with some exciting updates on my end. I am happy to announce a brand new pattern that I will actually be wearing to my wedding in just under a week!

I’ve known since I was a little girl…

Lucky Beanie-Knitting Pattern
How about a little luck? Today I’m going to show you how to make an adorable yet simple Leprechaun belt beanie in teen/small adult size. St. Patrick’s Day has always been a big holiday in our house. My second daughter was born 8 days after and she loves everything green and clovers (even now at age 10!). We’ve got blankets, stuffed animals, sunglasses, shirts, you name it. It’s also been a fairly common request over the years I’ve been on Etsy to make people a hat they can wear for…
