Owl Slippers {Free Crochet Pattern}

My sister LOVES owls. I sewed her an owl apron for Christmas and when she told me she was looking for a new pair of slippers,  I decided to make her a pair of owl ones!

I didn't have a pattern to follow so I just "winged" it. I wrote the pattern down as I made one of the slippers so that I can make the other without trying to remember what I did. So here it is!

Care Instructions {for crocheted items}

Hand washing crocheted items is highly recommended as it will keep them looking like new.

{And a must for wool items!}

Fill sink with cool water and a very small amount of mild detergent or dishwashing liquid {I like to use Dawn Original for acrylics/cottons and hair shampoo for wool items}.
Gently agitate the item in the water. Never wring or scrub.

Four Leaf Clover {Free Crochet Pattern}

Make these four leaf clovers for St. Patrick's Day!

Wedding Veil

Made a stunning veil for my little sister's wedding.

(Found the pattern in the Interweave Crochet Summer 2009 issue)

The first time I saw the pattern, I knew one day I would make it.

3 years later I offered to make it for my sister and she loved the idea!

Pinterest Project {and more}

I know I'm not the only one who is addicted to pinterest and pins away all sorts of project to do "later". And like many others, I have plenty of DIY projects on my boards to last me a life time!
So I decided I need to actually start making them.
And here is the first project that I made today.
