Every year the Geneva Girls Varsity Basketball team gets matching hats to wear with their Varsity Jackets and team sweatpants to away games. My oldest daughter plays on the team and asked me in May to make hats for the team. 6 months later when the season started, I had made 25 of these hats for the Geneva Girls Basketball team 2019-2020 season...

Can I tell you how much I love Christmas? Shall we start with the 14 trees I decorate in my home each year? Or maybe with the bedding; sheets and quilts for everyone’s beds? Is it too much? Over the top? Never!

I designed the Earbud Purse when I was totally frustrated digging through my purse to find by ear buds. I decided to make a bag for them. I added in an opening at the bottom to pull the cord through so I don’t lose t...

This project is made in strips, which are then crocheted together with a contrasting color. You can make a strips as long as you would like. I made three strips about 60” long.
