::Moms are Like Buttons::

I'm thrilled about what my daughter got me for Mother's Day. Yes. I got my gifts early. But we work that way. Neither of us can wait, even though my mom's mantra throughout my childhood was, "Waiting is good."I agree VERY MUCH with waiting--especially when it comes to my children waiting for things they want. But my...

Patch Me a Line crochet blanket pattern in stripes and rectangles of many colors, by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Patch Me a Line Crochet Pattern::

Happy, happy, joy, joy!!

In my head I saw...

Paintbrush Pillow and Afghan crochet pattern made into cowl with pastel yarn, by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Tickled Pink::

I've had a lot of "PINK" in my "THINK" lately! As those of you who have been here before might know, I am sort-of color crazed. And my favorite color changes almost daily--usually I can't tell you which is my most favorite. But for TODAY--it's pink. Maybe it's because I finished my little bench...

Cath Kidston colored Paintbrush pillow crochet pattern by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Paintbrush Pillow Cover & Afghan Pattern::

Looking a little like colorful sweeps with a fan-shaped paintbrush, I'm calling this the Paintbrush Pillow Cover. I wrote it with simple instructions to make an afghan, as well, by including the multiples. It's an easy thing to do. And I can only imagine the things that could be done with different colors.

Purple crochet cuff with large lavender button, easy beginner crochet project by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Passing It On::

Tomorrow evening I get to pass along a little passion for crochet to some young women in my area. I tend to get a little over-excited when I start talking crochet. Hopefully I don't get too silly with them--I've been known to do that. I spent a wee bit of time today thinking about what little project would be a good starter for...
