  • Farmhouse Crochet Tea Towel Holder

    A simple farmhouse DIY, perfect for hanging beautiful tea towels.

    In the past I would crochet the tops of my towels, so that I could hang them on the oven door. This meant I would have to take the time to crochet the tops, every time I bought a new towel. Of course I could just hang the towel through the oven door but it always looked like a mess, as I would quickly try and stuff the towel over then handle while cooking.

    I picked twine to make this tea towel holder because of its durability and the fact that it won’t stretch out or fray over time. I also love the simple farmhouse look it adds to the kitchen. This pattern can easily be made in under 15 minutes from start to finish, depending on how fast you crochet.

  • Crochet American Flag Wall Piece

    Crochet American Flag Wall Piece

    I’m so excited to announce that my Crochet American Flag Wall Piece pattern is now available!

    As most of you already know, I lost my step brother SGT. Tyler Shelton on August 27th! These last few weeks have been some of the most heartbreaking!

    STG Tyler Shelton was serving the US Army as part of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment “Night Stalkers,” out of Fort Campbell, KY. He was a helicopter repairer, engaged in training operations off the coast of Southern California when the Black Hawk they were flying went down killing STG Shelton, along with one other soldier. 💔 

    Through the tears I created a Crochet American Flag 🇺🇸 wall piece for his wife he left behind, as well as my step dad. Honoring his ultimate sacrifice for our country! I’ve cried many tears & prayed broken prayers through each stitch. This has been the hardest gift I have ever made, but my most proud! I’m so proud of you brother, thank you for teaching us to always smile! I know we will smile again, it will just take some time! 160th Night Stalkers Don’t Quit!

    This pattern is available for FREE but it would mean the world to me to support his wife by any donation to a GoFundMe that was set up to help her grieve the loss of her husband and not have to worry about how she will pay there bills, during this time. I can’t thank you enough for all of the kind words and many prayers you’ve said for my family! Please continue to pray for the Shelton family! 🙏🏻

    This pattern was created in honor & loving memory of SGT. Tyler Shelton! 160th Night Stalkers DON’T QUIT!

    This pattern includes a Puffed Spike Stitch, for directions on how to crochet a Spike Stitch & Puff Stitch follow these tutorials.

    Lately, I’ve been obsessed with crocheting for the farm. Not only are these projects very quick to make, but the adorableness is just too much and so many of you agree.

    After lots of requests, I’ve decided to share these patterns with you in hopes you will learn how to crochet or ask a friend if they could create these crochet pieces for you and your backyard farm.

  • Crochet Baby Turkey Pilgrim Outfit

    Crochet Baby Turkey Pilgrim Outfit

    A crochet pilgrim outfit for baby turkeys or chicks.

    We were recently given turkey eggs from a local farm to incubate & add to the backyard farm. They have been such a fun addition and we have already learned so much about these beautiful birds in such a short time.

    I couldn’t help myself! When I think of turkey I immediately think of Thanksgiving & then Pilgrims come to mind. I thought, “I wonder… if I can can make this turkey look like a pilgrim.” And that’s how this pattern came about.

  • The Back Loop Bobble Dishcloth

    The Back Loop Bobble Dishcloth

    A crochet dishcloth using a new stitch technique called the back loop bobble.

    This stitch is a lot of fun and makes such a great texture for washcloths! The back is simple & smooth, while the front steals the show, but my favorite part might just be the boarder.

    To create the back loop bobble, yarn over and insert your hook into the back loop only. Yarn over and draw up a loop. You should now have a total of 3 loops on your hook.

    Careful to continue working in the same stitch, yarn over and insert your hook into the whole stitch(front & back loop). Yarn over and draw up another loop, for a total of 5 loops on your crochet hook.

    Yarn over and draw through all 5 loops on your hook. You can find the step by step tutorial HERE.

    The Back Loop Bobble Dishcloth

    You can get creative with this stitch by lining up all of your bobbles into a row or you can stager them. To line up each row make sure you start each bobble row the same. If you started with a single crochet (sc) and then a back loop bobble, make sure to do that for each row. Pictured below as the dark grey.

    If you want to stager the rows, alternate between starting your work with a single crochet (sc) and a back loop bobble. This is my personal preference. Pictured below as the green.
