I'm an organizing junkie, and it seems that I never have enough storage bins...especially when it comes to yarn and crafts. I haven't quite decided what space I will be sprucing up with these classic, striped bins, but I'm super excited to share them with you!

I will let you know the minute that the crochet pattern is up!

Coffee anyone? These coasters work up extremely quick, and have a secret component to keep them weighted and durable. 

These offer so much potential for individual creativity. Use a neutral colour for a classic look, or play with bright colours for a cheerful set. I'm working on the pattern now, and should have it up for you sometime next week!

I know that it is a crazy time of year to be working on a cozy scarf pattern, but that's just where my brain is at the moment. Besides...crocheting and crafting doesn't always have to make sense...sometimes it just needs to make us smile :)

I'm hoping to have the crochet pattern for this "Cabled Keyhole Scarf" up soon!
