Attack of the Crochet Key Fobs!

A few months ago I purchased a bunch of key fob fasteners and failed to purchase the much needed cotton webbing to make the actual key fobs. After spending endless hours pondering what to do with the hardware, which sat waiting in a plastic baggy shoved far back on a shelf in my craft room, a magnificent idea came to mind. Crochet! Perfect. But, how do I make the straps without a pattern? A few more days of thought and I decided, I'll make one up myself.

I started to crochet simple straps and after many trial and error attempts, I finally had a pattern that I could use time and time again. The following key fobs are the results. Enjoy.




More available in my shop. Customize a key fob is also an option over at my shop. Now I just have to stop crocheting these long enough to write the pattern down.

Roll it up

Hey everyone! Sorry for abandoning you all for a week. This last week was intense. I had two midterms and a 4 page paper due! There were a few more non-school related bumps that caused a lot of stress on my end and so I could not possibly blog knowing I would probably just end up complaining. Aye.

Now that the hectic week is now over and done with, I have had a few moments to myself to play around with new yarn and ideas for new products. First and foremost I had to come up with a crochet hook holder. I have been losing my hooks left and right, misplacing my stitch markers everywhere and looky what I made!


It was easy to make and I just had to use my favorite yarn I have been hording until the right time. The yarn used was plush and thick and green (all my favorite things). It can hold quite a few hooks, stitch markers, and it rolls up and buttons close. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!


I think I'll make another one to give to my mom as a Mother's Day gift. She's going to love it.

Little Black Dress Revamped

Thanks to Just, who found my favorite old fabric somewhere in our garage, my yearn for a new dress was brought back to life. Two months ago I tried to sew a dress but it came out too small in the waist area. I tried again with my favorite fabric and some extra black fabric I had laying around.

I used a really simple sewing pattern and had some fun. I managed to whip this sweet dress up in about 3 hours.

Cozy Nubbin

Winter has come and here in the Sacramento area the fog has rolled in and it's here to stay. Each morning it seems to be getting colder and colder. Even my phone has been feeling the effects of the chilly weather.

Whenever I'm out and about running errands, walking to class, or going out to the garage my cold feels like an icicle pressed against my face when I get a phone call. My finger tips feel frozen when I text a message to a friend.

So, to help ease the pain of the cold I made a little cozy for my iPhone. He's a Cozy Nubbin. He kinda looks like Fudgem, but I think he's cuter.
