Craft Project: Treasure Bags

Good TUESDAY afternoon, Ladies! 💗

I pray that your week is off to a great start and that you're getting some stuff that you had hoped to.  

Treasure Bags

I got the treasure bags done that I've been working on since the end of JanuaryMy goal was to use up the yarn leftover from making my 2019 temperature afghan in hopes of making enough bags to, at least, cover the grandchildren for Christmas.


Treasure Bags

I didn't quite use up all the yarn. I had an abundance of pumpkin orange, so will have to find a fall craft project to make with that (am thinking autumn leaf garlands maybe), but I did manage to make enough bags to cover the grands, plus had an extra bag left over. I will probably keep that one for myself and keep my crochet hooks, scissors, and stuff in it and keep it with my yarn bag.

I have a couple of Walmart sacks full of yarn that my youngest daughter gave me around Thanksgiving-time, year before last, and I am turning that into bags, too.

Treasure Bags
For Christmas I will stuff each bag full of goodies (tiny treasures, small age-appropriate gifts, personal care items, cash or gift cards, candy, etc.) and give them as gifts to the grandchildren. I hope they enjoy them. They'll be kind of like a stocking, but not. 

 Treasure Bag Idea

The extra bags can be stuffed with goodies and given away or I might take orders and sell some.

Treasure Bag Idea
That's one thing that I've worked on and accomplished this week. 

How about you? What are you working on this week?

Until next time...

Hand-Crocheted Dish Cloths

Hand-crocheted Dish Cloths - Red, White, and Blue
A couple of years ago I made crocheted stockings for each one of the grandlittles as part of their Christmas, and, to make sure that each child knew which stocking was theirs, I made each one of them in a different color. I had tons of yarn left over and have been looking for cute, little projects to use it up on ever since. When I saw these sweet, little, hand-crocheted dish cloths on a friend's website I knew that I had found my next project.

The dish cloths are really simple to make, and they work great. They will save money, too, because I will no longer be purchasing germ-collecting sponges. I can use the cloths, then, throw them right in the washer and dryer. Awesome!

My friend, Laura, not only makes and uses the cloths herself, but says she gives the dish cloths, along with a large bottle of dish soap, for bridal shower gifts. Isn't that a great idea? To read her post about that, click HERE.

To make the cloths: Chain 21, then single crochet in the second chain. Single crochet to end of row. *Chain one and turn. Single crochet in the first stitch and continue to the end of the row. Repeat from * until you have a square cloth.

Happy Crocheting!

Hand-Crocheted Corner-To-Corner Baby Afghan

Knowing that Grandlittle #12 is on the way my thoughts can't help but wander toward babies so this is my latest craft project..a hand-crocheted baby afghan.


 I love this corner-to-corner stitch and the beautiful pattern that it creates.



I am listing the items in my Etsy shop online and am experimenting with afghans in plain and variegated colors and with and without ribbons along the border.

Here's a picture of the latest afghan that I'm creating...


Won't it be pretty? I can't wait until it's finished.

Just thought I'd share!

Until next time...
