Pearls can be sew on or glued in to center of heart. Hearts can be made larger with a larger hook. A single crochet chain can be used instead of a silver chain. Chain to desired length and add a ring to one end and a claw closure to the other end or use magnetic closures.

This was a fun project that I designed for myself for my holiday table.

This was a fun project to make. I wanted something warm, but not bulky. My model is very active in sports and likes to be able to move her arms freely and this seems to fit the bill.

I enjoy making any kind of animals. My mama kangaroo and baby joey pattern is so popular that I decided to try another mom and baby. It is an easy pattern and lots of fun.

Lisa’s nephew saw some of the things that I had designed for his sister and decided he wanted something special too. He likes handmade things because he says they are made with lots of TLC.

I like to add a little something different using different yarns. I think the fun fur trim adds a fun touch and is as soft as the baby yarn. Ella is a wonderful little model for my creations.

Every girl wants a fashion a little bit different and unique. The girl that this was made for loves hand made things because they are special and different from what everyone else has. She likes to wear her own styles. This was a fun project and she really loved it when her school friends wanted to know where she got it. She was happy to tell t...

The pattern is quite simple and uses basic sc and dc sts. There is one special stitch and that is the cluster stitch and instructions are included with the pattern. It can be made with buttons or a zipper and it is easy care, machine wash and dry.

This was a fun project for a new neighbors daughter. She was 13 months at the time and did not like to wear jackets. But she did like the freedom of movement provided by the vest. Warm, but not bulky.

This was a fun project. I enjoy adding little things like a necklace and bracelet. It was made for a very special little girl with lots of “tlc”. The pattern is elegant, yet easy.

I love working with dolls and have discovered that the American Girl dolls have the largest measurements, so this pattern will fit any 18” doll. It is an easy pattern yet elegant and lots of fun too. The pattern includes the dress, hooded cape and shoes.

I used TLC Amore for the dress and Fun Fur for the Boa. The pattern will work with just about any soft yarn. The pattern includes the dress, boa, shoes, necklace and bracelet.

Crochet with wire is a way to make unique, beautiful jewelry that is as “light as air”. Once you learn, it can be very rewarding. It does take time, and wire is very “unforgiving”. You CAN correct a mistake once in a while if you are very careful, but it can weaken the wire. But if you want to try something new, this can really be fun.

My penquin can be made as a bank or just a stuffed toy. My teen age friends use the banks to save money, just as children do. My adult friends use them as “Poker Pals” or just a place to stash “mad” money. Children do not know how to open the banks because there is no opening in the bottom.

This was really a fun project and my customer was totally pleased with the finished product. Her “Bianca” chihuahua is tan colored with white on her face and it turned out just like her picture. The dog can be made with any yarn. I used TLC Amore because it looks like short hair. A heavier yarn will change the size slightly.

Crochet with wire can be challenging, as wire is “unforgiving” and you cannot easily pull out stitches and start over. It CAN be done very carefully but not often, as this weakens the wire. You will need to put a bandaid around your finger, as you need to maintain tension as with any crochet and the wire can hurt or even cut. But once you learn...

My african violets love these pots and are happy with constant moisture. The pattern includes details for making the self-watering wick pot. They are great when you go on vacation and can be used for any type of plant.

If you like the “rainbow” earrings, I know you will like this matching bracelet. It is fun and easy.

This is a simple alternative to crocheting with wire. I have also used DMC Metalic thread in gold or silver. It is easy to work with and possibilities are endless.

This is a quick and easy pattern. I use elastic beading thread and sc and they whip up quickly and twist by themselves. You can also use silver or gold elastic beading thread for a different look. Necklaces can be made the same way, using larger beads and magnetic closures.
