Blues and greens, cowl with toggle buttons, crochet pattern by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Sea Ice Cowl Ta-Dah::

The colors, the texture, the buttons! I suppose that's pretty consistent with Felted Button style, huh? And guess, what--Sea Ice Cowl--is now available. I absolutely love the color work in this. Super soft and squishy, it is quick and easy to work up. And it's done with two colors held together so it's extra squishy and...

Green and blue mittens holding yellow mug, crochet pattern by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Warm Mittens & Cocoa::

Warm mittens and cocoa, anyone? (OK, I realize there is no cocoa in the cup.)

It has been quite frigid in my neck of the woods lately. Mittens and hot cocoa are definitely required! I actually had several hours (almost) to myself the other night so I took advantage of the quiet time and...

Christmas ornament, handmade felted mistletoes with white beads as berries, by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::My To-Doings::

Hello, All! I hope this holiday season finds you healthy and happy. I have been ever so busy. But most of it has been good busy. Just not enough hooky-busy in my opinion. My To-Do list has been crazy since mid-November. Yours, too? I always think that blogs are funny little things. We spend a bunch of time talking about ourselves and telling the world about our doings. Truth be told--most of my...

X-ray of hardware of screws and plates in hand, by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::One Year::

It's been one year since my little mishap. Although my hand will never be quite the same--obviously with this crazy hardware of 20 screws and 4 plates--I have recovered well--and can still crochet!! And the scars are barely noticeable--in good light. Every time I ponder the healing that is required...

Gray and yellow swirl rug, Let's Twirl Blanket and Rug, Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Life's a Great Balancing Act::

I've been a little absent lately--not because I haven't been busy--rather because I have. Decorating, shopping, working, designing, crocheting, and mothering. It's wonderful and hectic. But as Dr. Seuss once said, "...and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act."

Detailed embroidery of European market street at turn of century, Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

Wanna see what I found at the thrift store this morning? It literally induced a little squeal--which was a bit embarrassing as I was alone and couldn't pretend I was talking with someone else. $4!! Yes, only 4 wee bucks for this!

White crochet swirls with felted colorful flowers, Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Rolling Along::

My rolled swirls are coming along. After much struggling (and still some indecision), I've settled on a soft winter white. But I can't have just white. I always need a little spot of color. So take note of the little felted leaves. They might make these little swirls just right. Now to put it all together--in my mind and with my hook!

Rainbow surface crochet on grey cowl, designed by Susan Carlson of Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

::Success at the Thrift Store::

It is quite cold here--turn on the furnace kind of cold. But what a wonderful weekend! My daughter, Lizzie Love, came to visit. We talked, laughed, thrift store shopped, watched General Conference (my favorite weekend of the year!) and thoroughly enjoyed being together. She only lives 30 minutes away, but with our crazy busy lives we still don't get together nearly enough. While she was here, I had...
