BottomsUpOrange – Circle, Cat, Bunny!
By: Christine Cardimen I started making a circle, since I like making circles and this yarn works well with circles, double crochet, and fpbp double crochet. Well I decided a prettier scrubbie would have a ruffle fringe going around, so I started with 2 ‘ruffles’ and saw it right there…..a cat! I fixed kitty up […]

BottomsUpOrange – New Ideas!
By: Christine Cardimen I can relate to Jessica @JeweledAgainByJessica and her dolphin…I have had so many dolphins! And I’m sure many of us have changed our minds mid-project only to end up with something completely different than what we set out working on. Sometimes it’s a little frustrating, sometimes it never works out in the […]

BottomsUpOrange – Mannequin!
By: Christine Cardimen Well I did it. I’ve been thinking about it. I’ve been mulling it over. I’ve been worrying that it’s too expensive, too much of a formal ‘I’m doing this’ commitment (even though I’m actually doing this), too big, not sure exactly which one to get, white or black, fabric or wire….my worries […]

By: Christine Cardimen https://www.etsy.com/shop/TOBISYARN?load_webview=1&bid=HiOK0DfaVUY48vuoEKiWFCFsk96V I love Tobi’s Yarn! I use it for making scrubbies, and I’m taking a lot of scrubbies to the Lavender Festival on 7/30. This yarn is nice, soft, flexible, shiny, and the colors are so pretty! It works up well with a 3mm crochet hook. I found it on Amazon, but […]

BottomsUpOrange – Purse!
By: Christine Cardimen So I made a purse! Yay. But I also wrote the pattern! Which is very cool and not something I could have done last year. I wondered before how on earth do people write patterns? And I think the answer is …. just start & try & write it down & cross […]

BottomsUpOrange – Memories!
By: Christine Cardimen I saw this at my mom’s house and I said “I’m taking this”! She didn’t argue. This was my grandma’s sewing machine that she gave to my mom, and we all used it at some point or another when we were younger. Mostly my mom sewed our ballet costumes and made us […]
