Outdoor Wedding Event Birthday Party Crochet Lace Canopy

An example of how my canopies can be used for weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, baby showers and any other occasion. They also make great alternatives to table umbrellas. I expect to see a little fairy fly around when I look at this photo! So lovely!

Horizontal Buttonhole Tutorial When Using Tunisian Crochet

I have been working on a Tunisian crochet project that requires a buttonhole. I tried looking for a tutorial on it but the ones I found seemed either too complicated or did not give the look I wanted. So after playing around a little, I came up with a simpler way that gives a finished look.

In case anyone else is looking for something similar, here you go.

Triple Twist Headband Ear Warmer Tunisian Knit Crochet Free Pattern

The Windy City has nothing on our town and we always need something to keep the cold air away from our ears. Time for a warm headband!

Sunflower Crocodile Stitch Doily Crochet

I was looking for a sunflower doily crochet pattern but couldn't find one that made me think "this is it." I saw several photos, but nothing that was exact. This was my first go. I would like to make a few changes to the outlying petals but I was pleased with the final result.
