Christmas in July is such a fun summer tradition! I’m up for any reason to have a good time, but for crafters is means so much more. It gives us a chance to get ready for Christmas with plenty of time to spare. Last year I designed a fun blanket for Red Heart. I even made some videos to help you create the blanket!
This year, I’m celebrating the entire month with
Hello! Welcome to the May Knit Link Love Party #9, hosted by Marie Segares and I. Last month we had socks, teddy bears, and scarves, oh my! We even had a tie for 5th place, so there are 6 links in this months most clicked list. I’m seeing fall colors come out, which is about right for crafting; after all Pantone just announced the 2016 fall colors and I see a lot of them in this collection of lovely knits.
Be sure to share this link party with all your knitting friends so they can link up as well, and find new and fun knit projects around the web. Our link parties start on the first Thursday of the month, and end on the last Thursday of the month. Here are the 5 most clicked links from last month.
Rawr!!!!!! Dinosaurs are so much fun for the littles! Really, I’ve never met a kid who didn’t love dinos. They are huge and fascinating and they ruled the world for a very, very, very long time!! We have enough dinosaur books in this house to get any budding paleontologist well on the way to success. So it seemed to me that a dinosaur round up would be a great idea.
Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something about each of them.

Seed Stitch Headband/Ear Warmer by Posh Pooch Designs: This quick and easy free knitting pattern is embellished with buttons.
This tutorial will help you to create a fun kids dress from an adult sized tee shirt. It even includes suggestions on how to make some accessories to go with it! This really is a tutorial more than a pattern, but if you follow along, you should be able to make your own version in a variety of sizes. You could even make an adult size if you can find a tee shirt large enough!
Oh my goodness, I am so excited to share a new feature with you!!! I know I am more crochet focused, but I REALLY love knitting as well, and I am working on increasing my knitting patterns.

Hello my blogland friends! How was your weekend? We had a lot of fun over here. I’ve been working a lot, but this weekend I did find some time to play with the kiddos. Here is a little about what we did and some photos of the fun!
Some nights the girls like to read bedtime stories to each other. Kyla is a big fan of the Mo Willems books. Here she is with a big stack of them, reading to Vada.
The Delia hat is a playful beanie hat. A Jacob’s Ladder detail runs up the hat, creating a little starburst pattern at the top.
The girls and I spent Saturday morning with the Girl Scout troop making gingerbread houses.
First they got to make little turkey cookies. Here is Kyla thinking hard about the perfect placement for the candy corn feathers. I would love to show you the finished cookies, but they seem to have been devoured by hungry little carnivores.
Well, the crazy holiday season is officially underway, and we have survived the first holiday. It was actually a great day. Halloween is Vada’s favorite holiday. She wears Halloween themed clothing year round.
The girls had a half day at school, then they went back at 2 for the optional costume parade. Doug’s mom came by just before they got out for the half day, so she picked them up with me, helped to get them in their costumes, and went to the parade with us. It was very nice to have her along.
Here are the girls as we left to go to the costume parade. Vada is Merida from Brave, and Kyla is Elsa from Frozen.
This little girl is a friend of theirs who is in first grade (yes, she is younger than them). She had on my favorite costume of the day!
