Quick and Easy Crocheted Slippers

Hi again. Do you remember last week's post? I shared ten free crocheted slipper patterns for the whole family. Well I already finished a pair and I'm kinda excited to share it with you.


Crocheted Slippers
Crocheted SlippersThis first pair of slippers is for my granddaughter, Honey Bunny. She knew exactly what she wanted. As far as color is concerned anyway. They had to be her favorite color of blue and she wanted a great big bright red flower on the top of her foot with matching trim. And so ta da, she got what she asked for.

So much for a Christmas surprise. Or gift. Cause I already gave it to her. I'm not good at that whole don't open til Christmas thing.

 Crocheted SlippersCrocheted SlippersAny how here are the slippers. I was inspired by the Starlight Women's Slippers by My Hobby is Crochet. She has patterns for women's and tot sizes. This pair is for an eight year old so I had to make a couple of adjustments.
Crocheted Slippers

 I started with the women's pattern for the slipper width and I made it long enough for Honey Bunny's foot measuring from her toe to the front of her ankle. (She liked trying it on for me.)

 When it came to stitching around the ankle I split the difference between the ladies 34 single crochets and the tot's 26 single crochet.
This is where I made another change. Instead of crocheting several rows of Half double crochet worked in the 3rd loop I continued crocheting five star pattern rows.

 And ended it with four rows of single crochet in bright red.

 Honey Bunny loves her new slippers and had great fun modeling them for me.

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...
