Favecrafts is an awesome site! AND they have a blog, too!

I knew about their Favecrafts web site but I didn't know they have a blog, too. Plus and this was exciting to find out, they have another web site called Allfreecrochet!

AND don't forget to check out their other web site:

All free crochet !

Did you know they are on the radio!?  They have give-aways, wonderful childrens projects, Father's Day gift ideas and patterns, summer knits, home decor and so much more.  This is a must visit!

Have you thought about all those hundreds of coffee filters you have?  They have ideas for those, too, and kids can make these things!

I'm sorry, I just get so excited when I find such a quality fun web site with hundreds of free patterns.

I gotta go read more.  Wish I had more time as I could spend all day on these web sites.

  Red Heart Mini Purse Patterns using Heart and Sole

Look what I made!  LOL  This is actually a key chain mini purse but I plan on stuffing it and closing it up to make a mini pincushion.  Good idea, huh?

I didn't have the Heart and Sole, which is a sock yarn, so I used some other leftover sock yarn.  I know I have some Heart and Sole here but do you think I can find it?  And who knows, maybe I did but without the paper label, I don't know which it is and I don't want to call it Heart and Sole if I don't know for sure. 

It was fun making this little purse and it gave me some great ideas for more.  I feel my own pattern coming on!  LOL

So get out that sock yarn or any fine gauge, think this one I used is a DK weight, and make some little purses.

Indygo Junction Pincushion Pattern Packet

These are from the Indygo Junction pincushions pattern packet and some are my own design.  These first ones are from an Indygo Junction pattern.

Two of these are Indygo Junction patterns and three are not.  The tiny one is a vitamin water bottle cap!  Don't you just love it!?  You can't tell but the one with the blue flower on top is actually in a tart tin.  Hey, I'm not a very good photographer but I try.

I'm off to make some more.  What am I going to do with all these pincushions?  Yikes!  But they are so fun to make and I love buying the fabric. 

New Craft Sewing Project !

Did you see how long it's been since I posted!? Wow, really sorry about that. I've been so busy working on my other blog Knit and Crochet Pattern Chat and didn't realize people still loved this one. So I'll start showing you the projects I'm working on that aren't knit or crochet related. I went shopping and wound up at Pacific Fabrics. I don't shop there very often because of their location; hard to get in and out of the parking lot, but this time a decided to just do it. They have the best pattern packets and needlework supplies ever. Now, I can't wait to go back. I will be taking some photos and posting my new projects so come back soon. Thank you! Kathy

Back for a second.  I'm hoping people will comment and share their photos of their projects with me.  If you have a Pacific Fabrics near you, do give them a try.  I'm lucky to have a Ben Franklin near by, at least for now.  Living in our motorhome, I never know where I'll be next month but right now, I have a Michaels, JoAnns, Ben Franklin AND a Pacific Fabrics.  I'm so lucky!

I've had to get real clever in my storage abilities.  BUT if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.  I've been able to save boxes, small ones, labeled them and have started to store things that way in MY cupboards.

Hope to hear from some of you with some ideas.

Arts and Crafts

I am back. I have had some serious computer problems the last few days but with a new laptop in hand, I'm back to start posting and sharing some new free patterns.

I have May flowers coming to my other blog Knit and Crochet Pattern Chat. I'd like to do the same thing here with some crafting ideas.

Come back soon, join my followers and don't be afraid to leave a comment. Don't forget to check out my blog called Full Time RV Travel Fun! I hope to share recipes and tips on storage, travel, fun places to see, etc.

UPDATE:  We are home again and are in Washington for the summer.  I am going to post as many projects on the blog as I can.  Living in a motorhome really limits the amount of supplies you can fit in and I'm trying constantly to convince my husband that I really need all my supplies to be creative.  I've been knitting socks and now knitting with wool yarns so I can felt the panels and make some nice felted wool fabric pieces to use for my pincushions and I want to make some tea cozies.  Christmas is just around the corner again!

You might be interested in what's going on on my blog Knit and Crochet Pattern Chat. I have pictures and updates on my latest crochet pattern project called the Lorenz Manifold.

See it here: Knit and Crochet Pattern Chat.

Update:  This project didn't work for me and was trashed.  I just couldn't figure out how to shape it with the wires, etc. that they suggested to use.  I even had my engineer husband to help and guess what's needed is a mathematical brain not a creative brain!  LOL

At least I enjoy crocheting the whole thing, had the extra thread and didn't mind throwing it out.  They say even Picasso didn't paint a masterpiece every time.

If you google Lorenz Manifold, you'll see the people that were able to finish the project.
