Project: Peeps-a-Boo Bag From Vickie Howell
I believe a gal should have a purse for every occasion, even if she isn’t quite old enough to need to carry one. With spring in the air and Easter on the horizon, every little lass needs a cute carry-all! Inspired by those marshmallow bunnies, the Peeps-a-Boo Bag uses simple granny squares to form a rabbit motif. It’s sweet and easy, and makes for the perfect egg-hunt companion.

Knitted Sweaters For Guinea Pigs
Between hens and penguins, it’s no doubt that we are suckers for cute animals in even cuter hand knit sweaters. These sweet little guinea pigs were featured on Cute Overload, sporting the handiwork of their loving owner, Savannah, and her sister Jillian. I think we may be at the point of making a category specifically […]
Matthew McConaughey Amigurumi Crocheted Doll
I’m not quite sure where to start with the awesomeness that is this amigurumi crocheted Matthew McConaughey doll from Alison at Crafty is Cool. From the hair to the bongo drum, everything about it blows my mind. But, I’m going to just jump right in there and say what we’re all thinking: Holy crocheted buns, […]
