Du Livre: Book Review: Mechanica
http://dulivre.blogspot.com/2015/07/book-review-mechanica.html
Book reviews with a French flair! Friday, July 31, 2015. Young Adult / Magic. August 4, 2015. Nicolette’s awful stepsisters call her “Mechanica” to demean her, but the nickname fits: she learned to be an inventor at her mother’s knee. Her mom is gone now, though, and the Steps have turned her into a servant in her own home. With a technological exposition and royal ball on the horizon, the timing might just be perfect for Nicolette to earn her freedom at last. A big plot point is that Nicolette makes her...

Creative Aspirations: I adore this pattern!
http://djcstitches.blogspot.com/2013/07/i-adore-this-pattern.html
Handmade gifts by DJC Stitches. Saturday, July 13, 2013. I adore this pattern! A while back I stumbled upon this super cute starfish dishcloth pattern. By Lily Sugar'n Cream and I just love how it works up. It is so easy and is made mostly with single crochet so the stitches are small and close together. I hate dishcloths that have big holes! The best dishcloths don't have holes that your fingers can slip through, they have small, close together stitches that create texture for scrubbing. A week of starts.

Handmade gifts by DJC Stitches. Thursday, September 25, 2014. Coffee Filter Basket Crochet Pattern. The basket is made to fit a 200 count package of 8 to 12 cup coffee filters but it can also be used to hold tea bags or sugar packets etc. This crochet pattern is now available on Ravelry. I also made this other one to list in my etsy store. This one I embellished with flowers and leaves. I didn't use a pattern for the embellishments; I just made it up as I went along.

Top Shelf Text: Have Courage & Be Kind {Celebrating Cinderella}
http://topshelftext.blogspot.com/2015/03/have-courage-be-kind-celebrating.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Have Courage and Be Kind {Celebrating Cinderella}. Remember how I mentioned recently that I am a lover of fairytales? Well, I mean that in a big way. Nothing captures my heart more than a classic tale of a princess and the triumph over evil forces. Sometime long, long ago, I drank the Disney juice, and I haven't been able to get enough of the fairytale culture since. You can watch the trailer below:. Simply magical, right? Normally, when I curate a booklist, I stick to one main...

Creative Aspirations: December 2014
http://djcstitches.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Handmade gifts by DJC Stitches. Sunday, December 28, 2014. Anyhoo, I've been hooked on the show Bones. A few months back I started to watch the series again from the first season and now I'm almost finished with the 7th season. I'm addicted! Of course it is almost impossible for me to follow a pattern without changing something. The pattern calls for sock weight yarn but I used Caron Simply Soft in Gray Heather. Since it was bigger I called it the Fat Skeleton Scarf. Here are the changes I made. Rw 4 (an...

Handmade gifts by DJC Stitches. Saturday, July 20, 2013. A lady from my ravelry group that makes dishcloths posted this pattern for a Liquid Dish Soap Apron. I love it and couldn't wait to make one! It is a nice, easy pattern too with so many fun ways you could change it up and various details. Here is mine sitting by my sink. Cute huh? Links to this post. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. An apple a day.

Creative Aspirations: An apple a day...
http://djcstitches.blogspot.com/2013/07/an-apple-day.html
Handmade gifts by DJC Stitches. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. An apple a day. I've been loving this apple dishcloth crochet pattern. I have made two and they turn out so cute after blocking. They tend to cup a little as your making it but after blocking they lay nice and flat. I've made two so far and on the second one I decided to learn the bullion embroidery stitch that is used to make the seeds. I found a video on youtube. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Handmade gifts by DJC Stitches. Sunday, November 9, 2014. The textured stitches work well for scrubbing in the kitchen and also help clean acne-fied skin. Everyone seems to like them.
