Crochet Reusable Easter Egg Bags 🐣🧶🪝

Easter is just around the corner, and if you are anything like me, you are looking for ways to make the holiday a little more sustainable, and a lot more handmade. There is something special about a gift that does not end up in the trash five minutes after the egg hunt is over.

These Reusable Crochet Easter Egg Bags are the perfect solution. They are not just gift wrap, they are a keepsake. Whether you are filling them with treats, tiny toys, or even a special crystal or stone, even 'yarn confetti' will work, and they will add a layer of 'magic' that plastic eggs just cannot match.

Why you will love making these:

They are Eco Friendly:  Skip the plastic this year and give a gift that can be used year after year. Quick & 

Quick & Satisfying Project:  Just like my recent Crochet Cross Pattern, these are designed to be a one sitting project. You can whip up a doze while watching your favorite movie.

Versatile Pattern:  They make great party favors, classroom gifts, or even a little pouch necklace for the kiddos. Make with ears for fun Bunny Bags.

Cherished Memories

 In honor of loved ones recently passed, I am reflecting back on precious family memories and cherished moments.

Two very special people that were near and dear to me were my Grandparents. Their love helped shape me into who I am and showed me many wonderful and beautiful things in this world. They were married my whole life and together to the end.

Together they would create these beautiful gifts for friends and family. My Grandmother with her beautiful crochet work on the dolls and my Grandfather in his shop, designing and building wooden and glass cases for the dolls to live in. What a wonderful, thoughtful and cherished gift! 

The doll with the green dress was created for me about 20 years ago, and the other for my youngest daughter, they are both so lovely! The detail that my Grandmother put into them was something that got me excited about crochet all those years ago. The idea that crochet wasn't just some doily lying around, but that it could be fun, this idea was very exciting!

What a blessing to have my Grandparents share such love!

My Grandmothers love of crochet, her talent, and her desire to make things for people have always been such an inspiration through out my life.

Striving to keep traditions going and growing!

Thank you for stopping by.

May you find joy and inspiration!

Best wishes and happy crocheting!!

Dolls and cases created by Elizabeth Ann and Hugo Phillips.

We recently lost Allen, adopted son of Elizabeth and Hugo, too Covid. Along with Elizabeth's best friend Cathrine. They will all be dearly missed. Hope to see y'all again someday ♡ Much love!

Crochet Dog Puppet Scarf

Scarf with adorable crochet puppy puppet mittens~ 

❅❄❆

Little boys can be difficult to crochet for, so when I came across this cute scarf, I quickly printed out the pattern to get started for my little guy. Although this was for my son, my daughter ended up modeling for me and wanted one for herself. 

If you notice the ears are different from the pattern, that is because I decided to go with long floppy ears for our dogs. Floppy just seemed cuter and more the kind of dog we would want to have.

This free pattern by Red Heart is available to download at Yarnspirations

What a fun way to keep your hands warm!
