More Crochet and 2 New Organizers!

Fawn Pug Finger Puppet


Black Pug Finger Puppet

While I was travelling, I brought my crochet hooks and yarn and made more of my fawn and black pug finger puppets for my etsy shop.

I love these little guys. They always make me smile!

They are available as individual puppets or you can buy them as a set with my children's book, Emmitt & Olive.

After I finished those, I started crocheting some 6 x 9 rectangles for a new charity that I just learned about. HAP makes beautiful afghans for our veterans. They are an all volunteer organization based in Maryland. Click here to learn all about them.

6 x 9 Crochet Rectangles

Speaking of squares for charity, I think I forgot to post my latest batch of "bobble squares" and "circle in a square" Squares for The Knit A Square Charity in South Africa. I have been making these for the last couple of weeks. I did not do them all in one day. :)

8 x 8 "bobble squares"

I got the new bobble pattern from one of the two new crochet books I just bought. The book is called Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs.

8 x 8 "circle in a square" Squares

The circle in a square pattern is from my favorite book, 200 Crochet Blocks by Jan Eaton.

I have not had time to start the flowers yet, but I made these stars for Gilbert and my sister's parrotlet, Dunkin. I love both of the books. They are easy to work from and I will make more stuff to show you soon.

Gilbert loves his star!

I love all of these projects because they are small, fast to create and portable. :)

Speaking of portable, I found this great canvas organizer made by Rubbermaid at Home Depot. It is canvas and collapsable with pockets you can form in whatever configuration you would like. I think it is made to store cleaning supplies, but I use it as a portable caddy to take my crochet projects from room to room. I tried to find it online to give you the link, but was unsuccessful. It was under $10 at my local home depot.

I just LOVE containers and can never get enough of them. The Container Store just opened down the street from us and I am just so excited. Look at this cool basket I got there on the grand opening day!
What fun things do you use to organize your crafts, studio, home or office? I would love to know.

You can never have enough containers!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
