Super squares Saturday: Hobobag and Tunisian sampler squares

Granny square project!! Who loves squares projects??
So easy so versatile for so many different items.
 Recently in a Facebook group I saw they had started a square along project.. any kind of squares! Being primarily a crocheter I immediately think of the granny square but I don't feel like a granny square blanket... 
so I disregard starting anything but then I see someone making granny squares for a tote!!!
And well,, I always want need a new bag! Perfect! I remembered some cute bags in magazines I have ( I'm hopelessly addicted to magazines!) and here it is. From the magazine For the love of crochet , My squares project..

A hobo bag!! How stinking cute is this bag!?
And so simple..Blue denim color yarn  with off white and brown tweed yarns! Perfect bag for fall or winter.. should it take me that long to get it done. The holidays tend to slow down 'all about me' projects! 
I have 8 more white squares to make then I can start the flowers. Need to find the perfect lining , add some pockets.. and a leather handle. 
I'm very much looking forward to having this bag! Been along time since I made myself a handbag.

And as my obsession continues with Tunisian crochet I've found my next squares project... when the hobo bag is complete ( I will Not start a new squares project until that one is complete ... I mean it!! 🙄)
Click link above for the pattern. 

I'm currently doing a Tunisian stitch scarf sampler and really like how it's getting me quickly used to this different way of crochet or knit .. it's kinda both. Like a hybrid of crochet and knit. I think after a blanket like this I'd have a good handle on the Tunisian stitches! 

Working on another new Tunisian technique now! More in that Tuesday though!

I hope everyone has a blessed weekend and takes time to give thanks for their amazing creative abilities. 
God has blessed us all with many and different gifts! I know I'm so thankful! 
Have a blessed , productive and creative weekend!

Lots of new stuff!!

I LOVE this bag.... Its another Ellen Medlock pattern. Its called the Karma Bag! My mom and I both took a class at the sewing expo 2 yrs ago and made one... but I didn't like the fabric they gave us so I gave it away.... and after 2 yrs I finally get around to making another one... In fabric I do like! This is vintage fabric from the attic of my great aunt in Nashville.... Mildred. The inside is lined with some adorable Scottie dog fabric I bought at Jo anns .... left over scraps from a wrap I made my mom for Christmas one year. The EXTRA awesome thing about this bag is its exchangeable because of the way the hardware is made.... just twist off two of the little tips... slide this purse off another on... twist caps on and you're off with a different bag! Now I gotta make some different bags to go with this! Which should help my ailing purse wardrobe.... cause I really love this bag! My B-day was last month (big 36!) and this is what mom gave me.... An adorable and much ne

New Donkey milk soap!

A new soap coming soon! This is Rosemary Lavender Donkey milk soap! Made with therapeutic essential oils, and premium ingredients like grape seed and sunflower oil! Purifying Clay and minerals give added benefits and pretty colors! I’ve been making homemade soap for several years now. I’ve always used the cold process method but after much research decided to try the hot process method. Mostly because with it I don’t add my milk until the end after the soap is cooling, the ph is balanced and the chemical lye is gone. Leaving behind correct ph pure soap.. which I then add my precious and highly skin beneficial donkey milk too. Looking forward to trying it and seeing it there is a significant difference!!  On the crochet front.. I’m pretty much crocheting everyday again now that I’ve decluttered all that fiber!!  So now I’m trying to get a handle on my supplies and organize.  I love being organized!! I’m not one of those people who can stash yarn in plastic tubs or under the bed! I’ll fo
