Good afternoon! I am very excited to share Esther Dijkstra’s new book, Mix and Match Mandalas, with you. Most of you will know Esther from her very detailed video tutorials on It’s All in a Nutshell. In this capacity, she is linked to, and has provided videos for, a staggering number of very popular crochet-alongs […]
Stitches, Stories, and Heartfelt Things
Hello, hello! It’s been a hot minute. Life has been life-ing lately (as it does), but I’m well, the family’s well, and the weather has been surprisingly lovely—so no complaints from me this morning. A couple of weeks ago, I had the joy of being interviewed by my friend Christina Hadderingh for her podcast, Mind […]

Today is a huge day for me—Charlotte’s Universe is now available for sale! What began as a crochet-along in 2021 has now become a beautiful, tangible book, and I can’t wait to share it with you! I’ll list the resources before I tell you more about the book. Resources Buy the Book I will update […]
Crochet Gerbera Daisy Pattern {Free}
I am so excited about sharing this Crochet Gerbera Daisy pattern with you. As you have probably guessed, I LOVE flowers. ALL. THE. FLOWERS. Gerbera Daisies (or Barberton Daisies, as I know them) are very high on my favourite flower list. I want to say they are top of the list, but I feel like […]

Hi guys! I have a simple crochet Oxeye Daisy pattern to share with you. It is the first flower in a series of flowers. Some of them (like this one) can be used as embellishments or even turned into motifs if you are adventurous. Others are three-dimensional and possibly less practical unless you intend to […]

Extended Unseen Mandala – The Journey
This is an extension for the Unseen Mandala I shared three years ago. The words I spoke then ring just as true now: “During these last few months, I have thought a lot about the hidden (unseen) things people go through; some of them temporary, and some of them life-long battles. Regardless of the extent/seriousness/duration, […]
Crochet Christmas Tree – Part 1
Well, this was one of those spontaneous makes I haven’t experienced in years. I made this crochet Christmas tree for our Advent window. I made it without bothering about how the stitch patterns interacted or whether it was ‘good enough’. I made it without bothering about the maths (too much). I just MADE something. It […]
