Tutorial Tuesday for all you hookers out there

And by hookers, I am of course referring to those of you who CROCHET!

Stand up and testify: “I, Melissa D, am a hooker”. I say it with pride. My grandma taught me how to crochet when I was 7 years old. The first thing I ever made was a pot holder and it can’t hold a candle to the one my grandmother made that day (I have both).  When she passed on I inherited all of her crochet hooks, plus all the hooks from a dear friend of hers.  Now those hooks in addition to the ones I already had…well it was like my hook collection had followed the Lord’s Command “be fruitful and multiply”.

I have been storing them in this cute little vase, but it isn’t so convenient when I’m traveling, so I decided to whip myself up a pretty carrying case!

Learn how to make it after the jump!

Work It Wednesday

Are you working it? We are!

This week I’ve got a lot going on. I finished my knitting needle case, here is a sneak peak:

Now I am working on a crochet hook case for all you hookers out there!

A friend of mine is having a baby so I bought a simple quilt kit. Every baby should have something homemade!

And finally! This Wednesday has also turned into a Fix It Wednesday for me. Anne has a habit of being a bit forceful when tearing headbands off her head and I have a bunch that need fixing.


Oh and I almost forgot! My new darning foot arrived. I am playing around with it and practicing. I want to get really good with it before I use it on the butterfly quilt, I don’t want any hugely noticeable mistakes!

Geez! I have a lot going on!  What are you working on?
