My daughter is really worried about getting pinched today, so I whipped up a little green hair tie for her. Pattern here. Enjoy!
favecrafts blog hop: st. patrick’s day outfit
Tomorrow my daughter’s preschool class is having a St. Patrick’s Day party and everyone has to wear a green shirt. Over the past week, we’ve gone from her insisting on wearing her only green (too small) gumdrop shirt to her requesting an entirely new outfit. She rarely asks me to make her clothes, so of course I jumped at the opportunity.
She really wanted a green shirt and legging combo, but when I found this cute clover/flower fabric in my stash, she agreed that a coordinating skirt might be better. (Phew!) I’ll try to get a better photo of the top tomorrow, as I didn’t finish it until after the sun went down. I think both of these will get lots of wear over the summer, hopefully not always together.
The FaveCrafts Blog wants to know what you have finished on the 15th. Check out other finished projects and post one of your own!

coffee sleeve of the month: lucky shamrock
It seems like I can’t stop making felted wool coffee sleeves, so I’ve decided to start a feature cozy of the month!
March is all about St. Patrick’s Day and basketball. I don’t know much about hoops, but I used to be quite the little Irish Dancer. My Girl Scout troop had to learn an ethnic dance and we picked The Walls of Limerick. I remember that we performed on the stage at Golden Ring Mall.* A few of my friends and I stuck with it until high school. We competed, performed at Irish festivals and even walked in the St. Patrick’s Day parade. So in honor of my “Irish” background, this month is all about green!
Two sleeves are available in my etsy store.
*Sadly, Golding Ring Mall has since been leveled and replaced with big box stores.
