The 3 Top Posts of 2014

Dear readers, thank you for your continued support and encouragement. Without you there would be no blog. 

 So thank you, for making 2014 a wonderful year - a year of growth and learning. I look forward to 2015.





So, I don`t know about you but I want to know which blog posts were most popular. Most popular by number of page views that is. 

 And the readers have chosen three very different posts - crocheting, tips and a list. So let`s take a look.

1. Handmade Ponchos Never Go Out of Style - Crochet Pattern Included


 The number one spot goes to my purple Daisy Poncho (crochet pattern included). 

 Some of the comments were made by readers remembering their childhood ponchos. Other comments were about the gorgeous colour and the very pretty pattern.

 The poncho was also well received by the Google+ communities with a remarkable +175. Remarkable for me that is.

 I was also fortunate to have my poncho featured at four awesome Linky Parties which you can see HERE.

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas
