It is the first of another month, April 1st to be exact, which means it is time for another bear! This is bear number 4 in the Bear of the Month Crochet Along. I kind of had a hard time deciding between a couple of themes for this month's bear, but ultimately decided on...

A few weeks ago I went to Michaels and saw that they had a bunch of new yarn, including several new types and colors of Caron Cakes. One that I thought looked really fun and a perfect color way for spring was one of the Caron Upside Down Cakes in the color Candy Floss.

Friday Five: 5 Quick Easter Crafts

  

Easter is just over a week away, so I thought a good theme for today's Friday Five Round-up would be Quick Easter Crafts. I tried to choose a few different kind of crafts, but all things that can be made pretty quickly so there is still plenty of time to make them before Easter.

It is to announce the Spring 2026 Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along. Last year I realized that all of my spring crochet alongs up to that point had been animal themed, Farm Animals, then Pond Pals, so I decided that I would continue to stick with the animal theme for my spring crochet alongs and each year choose a new animal theme. Last year I continued the animal theme with the Little Safari CAL filled with mini crocheted animals from the African Savanna, and this year I am once again choosing animals from a specific place and habitat, introducing the Spring 2026 Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along theme...

Friday Five: 5 Crocheted Bunnies

Easter is just a couple of weeks away so I thought it would be fun for this week's Friday Five roundup to do amigurumi bunnies. I have a few different stuffed bunny patterns on my blog that would be perfect for making for Easter, and maybe putting in an Easter basket. Everything from little mini bunnies, to bunnies with outfits, and big squishy bunnies.

I have been wanting to make some spring projects, I am just feeling ready for spring. This winter was weird and never really felt like winter so I think I spent the last few months waiting for winter to finally arrive, but now that it is March I am ready for it to just be spring, for the grass to start turning green, the flowers to start blooming, and just to feel like spring. 

Huge Roundup of 50 Book Related Crafts

I just finished my 4th annual Book Inspired Craft Week last week, and throughout the week I shared some of the previous year's projects on Facebook, in addition to the new projects from this week. I thought it would be nice to have all of the Book Inspired Crafts in one place. But then I started thinking about other projects I have on my blog that fall into that book or reading related category. I have Harry Potter projects that fall in the "book inspired" category but weren't part of the series, I have bookmarks, library bags, and even shirts that I made for people who love to read. So then I decided to put all of those project in one place and that place is right here- in this roundup of 50 Book and Reading Related Craft Ideas.

This is my 4th Annual Book Inspired Craft Week, where each day this week I am sharing a favorite book and pairing it with a craft project inspired by the book. Most of the books that I have shared over the years I have done this series are ones that I remember from my childhood and this book fits in that category. The book that inspired today's craft is The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes.

Today is technically Day 3 of the Book Inspired Craft Week, but I actually missed getting yesterday's pattern up so it is actually only Day 2. I had some other stuff come up yesterday that took longer than anticipated and used up the time I planned to finish up editing a video I needed to go along with the project. So I will push that off to another day, normally my Book Inspired Craft Week runs Monday-Friday, but we might be adding a project on Saturday to make up for the skipped one, I will find some time to get it posted. But for now let's take a look at today's book and project.

This week is my 4th Annual Book Inspired Craft Week. Each day this week I will be sharing a favorite book and pairing it with a craft project inspired by the book. A lot of the books I have shared in this series are books from my childhood, books that I remember reading and loving. Others are favorites of my kids, books that have helped them gain a love of reading. The book that I chose for the first project this year is one that I read as a kid- The Secret Garden.

Today is March 1st, and that means it is time for another bear. This is the 3rd bear in the Bear of the Month Crochet Along and the March Bear was actually inspired by a bear I made a few years ago. I didn't want to repeat that bear exactly, just in a smaller size so I changed it up a little bit.  But without further ado, this month's bear is...

Friday Five: 5 Projects to Make for St. Patrick's Day

  

With Valentine's Day over it is time to start thinking about Spring, Easter, and St. Patrick's Day, and since St. Patrick's Day is the next of those to come I decided that for today's Friday Five I would share 5 projects that you can make for St. Patrick's Day. 

Crocheted St. Patrick's Day Gnome

A few years ago I made a little Christmas Gnome with long striped legs and when I made it I thought it would be fun to make in different colors for different holidays. Like I said, that was a few years ago and I never did anything more with it, but this year I decided to make a little St. Patrick's Day gnome. 

Space Themed Printable Valentines

Valentine's Day is only a few days away so I am going to squeeze in one last printable card set with just enough time to print them out and get some little toys or treats to go along with them if you want. 

Printable Robot Valentine Cards

Every year before Valentine's Day I like to share some printable valentine cards that can be paired with inexpensive little gifts. I always choose some small, non-food items, and try to keep them pretty cheap so that it is something affordable to get for an entire class. My goal is to keep it under $1 per item, but many times it is way cheaper than that.  

Brighton Hat

A couple days ago was Groundhog's Day and apparently Punxsutawney Phil says we will have 6 more weeks of winter, but here in Utah it feels like winter hasn't even started yet so it doesn't feel very likely here. Since it hasn't felt like winter I feel like I have had a hard time getting excited about making winter stuff. But I have made some hats that I want to share, starting with this pattern that I am posting today. 

February Bear of the Month: Cupid Bear

It is February 1st, which means it is time for the 2nd Bear of the Month. The Bear of the Month Crochet Along is a year long crochet along that I am doing this year where each month, on the first of the month I will be releasing a new little bear crochet pattern. Each bear will be themed to the month that I am posting it. The January Bear was a little Winter Bear wearing a hat and a scarf. For February I decided it needed to be a Valentines themed bear, so this month's bear is...

Friday Five: 5 Projects to Crochet for Valentine's Day

 

I haven't done a Friday Five yet this year, the first Friday I think I just didn't get one up, and then last Friday I was in the middle of the Bitty Blizzard Crochet Along so I skipped that one. If you are new to my blog and aren't familiar with Friday Fives, they are a way for me to reshare some older projects. Each week, or I guess most weeks is more accurate, I will share 5 projects that all fit a specific theme. It may be a holiday, project type, craft type, a specific stitch, or something else that all of the patterns have in common. I have been blogging for more than 10 years so I have so many projects and patterns and last year I realized that there were a lot that I had completely forgotten about, but that I still love and wanted to find a way to reshare them. This week I decided that with Valentine's Day just around the corner I would share 5 crochet projects you can make for Valentine's Day.

January Bear of the Month: Winter Bear

    -This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases. I receive a small commission at no cost to you when you make a purchase using my link.- 

Today is the start of the 2026 year long Bear of the Month Crochet Along! I am excited about this crochet along because it is something new that I haven't done before. Each of the bears in this crochet along with be themed to go along with the month that they are released. Whether that is a holiday, a season, or some other event or activity that is associated with that month. I had a few different ideas I was debating between for January, but the one I ended up deciding on was a Winter Bear.
