My Summer Bucket Hat

I'm super excited to finally be starting this project that I've been holding onto for months now! This will be my first time using a pattern with crochet symbols rather than words--hopefully it will go as smoothly!

This is a free pattern available on Ravelry if you are a member! Here's the link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/amicomo4-1-bucket-hat

If you crochet or knit but aren't a member, I encourage you to join! It's a wonderful place for patterns and connections with other crafters! AND, it's free to sign up!

Crochet Peeps!!!!! So Easy, So Cute!

Peep-O-Boo! These crocheted bunny "peeps" are perfect for Easter, and to top it off, these are sugar free, calorie free, and guilt free!!! They don't take long to crochet at all, and are super adorable! I made two and sent this pic to my mother, who promptly texted me back and 'ordered' them from me :) Mom will always be my biggest fan and business supporter ;) 

This pattern is available for free from Whisker's and Wool - you should go check it out and download it! 

Happy Easter 2012!!!

Safe Easter Candy for Gluten Free Folk-- In a LIST!!!

Thanks to myglutenfacts.com, you can look up your favorite Easter candy to see if it's on the 'safe' list, or, you can download the whole list as a PDF! There are technically two lists, one for candy and one for jelly beans (yummy!). This list is also available for both the U.S. and Canada (for products sold in that individual country). So go check it out!

And PLEASE remember that even with lists such as these, there is always a chance of change in ingredients, etc., so ALWAYS READ THE INGREDIENT LABELS, EVEN ON THE 'SAFE' PACKAGES! ALWAYS!!! JUST DO IT!!

Have a Happy Easter! <3
