Project Of The Week

Hello all you wonderful peeps out there in the crafting world and beyond. How are you all this week? First let me apologize for not having a sneak peek this week. I was experiencing some technical difficulties with Wi-Fi but we are back up and running again. 

So are you all ready for this weeks installment of the Project of the Week?? 

I'm excited. I've been wanting to do this project for awhile. It just took a little longer because I was searching for just the right pieces. 

And reveal.........

Spa sets/pieces. There are 4 pieces total and I will explain each along with a link to each pattern used. I am in love with these pieces. ;) 



This is a Soap Sack. I just love the look of this. I for one never liked using a bar of soap because the facecloth thing just drove me crazy. But this could be my answer. Best part....its reusable. When your soap is gone just toss it in the wash with your bath laundry and voila its clean as a whistle. Awesome!!



Next up is the Nubby Spa Cloth . I havent used this yet but I could see while making it just how great its potential. This is a great loufa type cloth. I cannot wait to try it out. Completely washable and dryable. 


















Then there's Cotton Facial Scrubbers which are just awesome. So instead of buying disposable make-up remover pads these little beauties take the place and they are completely washable and dry-able. And they work just as well. Use them for make-up removing or for applying your daily stringent/cleanser. I'm sure those who wear make-up and those who stick to a daily cleansing ritual will find many wonderful uses for these. And they are adorable.












Here's the first piece I made which fed my desire to create spa sets and led me in search of other items to go with the Mini Cable Face Cloth. I absolutely love this pattern. And it looks so elegant. 




















So there we have it folks. Build your own spa set for yourself or as a gift. These would make wonderful Mother's Day gifts. (hint, hint, hint)  What mama doesn't want to take a luxurious bath? This one certainly would. ;) 

They are available in any color you wish also. Make them all the same color or chose the colors that match your current decor. 

I hope you have enjoyed this weeks Project of the Week. Be sure to tune in next week for another exciting project. 
I hope everyone is gearing up for egg-hunts this weekend. Have a Hoppy Easter. 

Happy Hooking

PROJECT OF THE WEEK!!

Hello there yarnies, crafters, hookers and all, I hope you are ready for this weeks Project of the Week.
I saw this set on a Bernat pull (you know one of those papers that hangs in the yarn isles with awesome cute patterns). Anyway I searched and searched the Bernat website but I cannot find this pattern. But they do have other great patterns available. 

Anywho here we go.......this weeks project of the week....is Tray Liner and Coasters.....







So I did three sets and I love them all. But this is my favorite. Offspring #1 actually chose these colors. And I think he was right on. 










I really liked this set too. Sometimes variegated yarn is so nice to work with. I like to see the patterns they create. You can use the same variegated color scheme on different projects and get such a different look with each one. 


























Now this 3rd set I did Offspring #3 said she liked this one the best....and I'll admit it has some spunk to it.....



These tray liners measure approx 11"x14" and the Coasters are approx 4" square and they are made with 100% cotton so they are washable. I think they add a lot of style to a typical try liner.

I'm hosting a Tupperware Party in my home in a couple weeks and I'm thinking this will be a great way to spice up the table. Problem now being deciding which one to use. I think they all look wonderful.

Well there ya have it friends. I am working on a table runner/place mat set but I didn't finish it in time for tonight's post. I found another great pattern that I wanted to try but I changed a few things and decided to try my hand at making my own design. So I will show you all that in a few days.


I hope you have enjoyed this weeks Project of the Week.
Do you have a project you'd like to see me make one week? Please feel free to comment below and tell me. These sets will be available in the Etsy Shop later on tonight. Don't forget you can custom order any color scheme you want.

Till next time
Happy Hooking
