Free Pattern: Crayon Pouch

When my three-year-old #1 girl colors, she sometimes finishes by throwing on the floor whichever crayons she hadn't dropped.  I wanted a crayon holder to keep the crayons together, giving her options without letting her make a mess.

There are so many ways to make crayon holders - I have seen great ideas all over the place!  I decided on a small, non folding or rolling one, so that she can access them easily all by herself.  I attached each crayon to the pouch with a string.  When the crayon breaks or runs out, I can untie the string and replace it with a new one.

Vacation!

I'm on vacation this week!  I'll be back next week with a new pattern, but in the meantime, have you checked out all of these perfect-for-summer patterns?

Plarn Wet Swimsuit Pouch -

We use this almost every day in the summer, for bringing suits home from the pool or splash pad. 

Newborn Cluster Stitch Hat - 

The circulation from the cluster spaces makes this perfect for a little one due in the hot months.

Toy Jump Rope -

Great for an uncoordinated little one to use to pretend to play jump rope outside.

Happy Mother's Day!

I took the week off to celebrate with my two girlies and my own sweet mother, visiting from out of town.

Hope you have a special day, and keep up the good work, mommies!

Free Pattern: Swirl Flower

Using a similar technique as the no-sew rose, this flower is a clean spiral, great for making a few into a headband or decorating a hat.
