Dove in the Window Patchwork Pillow

This is Day 2 of my week of book inspired crafts. Yesterday I started with a picture book I like when I was really little, so for today I am moving up to a few year later to a book, or rather a series, that was one of my favorites when I was elementary school age. The book/series I have chosen for today is the Little House on the Prairie series.

About a week ago I shared on Instagram that I had a project that I was working on for later in the month, and this week is the week! This Thursday, March 2nd is Dr. Seuss's birthday, also known as Read Across America Day. This week a lot of schools have read-a-thons and other reading activities. I know my kids schools often have a spirit week with different dress up days themed around books and reading, sometimes parent and family reading activities, and usually a school wide read-a-thon. 

Crocheted Leprechaun Bear

Over the last year and a half or so I started making some crocheted teddy bears dressed up for different holidays. I thought it would be really fun to make some for all of the holidays and seasons, but so far I have only gotten a few done. I decided maybe it was time to get around to making another, and with St. Patrick's Day coming up in a few weeks I thought a little leprechaun bear would be fun. 

Mossy Blocks Crochet Dishcloth

It has been a long time since I have posted a new dishcloth pattern. They are one of my favorite things to make. They are small and simple, work up fast, they are useful, and they are a great way to try out new stitch patterns. 

Glitter Heart Shaker Cards

I have to admit glitter is not my favorite craft supply to work with, but sometimes it is worth the potential mess. I have been wanting to make some glitter shaker cards and Valentine's Day seemed like the perfect opportunity to give it a try. I have had this project ready to share for a couple of weeks and now that it is actually Valentine's Day I am finally getting around to sharing it. Better late than never I guess. 

Game Day Blanket

The Chiefs are my husbands favorite football team, so when we found out they would be going to the Super Bowl he was pretty excited. A day or two later I was shopping at Walmart and I passed a display of blanket yarn on an end cap, and a couple of colors popped out at me and I immediately knew I wanted to make a blanket for my husband. 

High Five Printable Valentines

I have one last printable Valentine card to share before Valentine's Day, which I can hardly believe is just around the corner. This time I am collaborating with Team Creative Crafts as part of their monthly challenge. The theme for this month's challenge is Printable Valentine Crafts, so it was the perfect opportunity to share this last card design.
