Friday Finds

As I try to get back into the habit of blogging, I thought it would be fun to start something new:
Friday Finds
Here I'll share some of my favorite patterns (new and old), fabric, shops, ideas, and/or other crafty stuff that catches my eye.

First up, check out these BEAUTIFUL creations from Crocheting With Altitude! In addition to baby items, she sells hats, blankets, decor, and more. I originally spotted her work on a FB group for items handmade in Colorado. Her page notes that she also welcomes custom orders.


And here is my favorite bag pattern: the 241 Tote from Noodle-head.com (and on FB)
I've made at least 6 of these bags (here, here, and here). Pictured is the one I kept for myself. I made it over 6 years ago and it still looks great. The pattern is easy to follow, because Anna does a fantastic job of explaining each step in the process. I think it's suitable for beginners and can be made in a weekend (or less).


If you're looking for beautiful, one-of-a-kind, lovingly handmade greeting cards then check out Tatiana's Corner on Etsy. It is run by my sweet friend, Tanya. I've purchased many of her cards since she opened her shop in 2016. Here are few of my current favorites...
I love the bold, fun colors on this 3 pack of birthday cards!

And look at these butterfly Thank You cards (set of 10).
