I'm completely in love with house plants these days. Anyone else? I think we all went a little crazy with our hobbies over the past two years. 

Air plants are especially enticing because they are super easy to care for and don't take up much space in my home. I have four tiny air plants that were scattered around my house which made it hard for me to remember to water each one. 

To solve that problem I've written this pattern for a tiered air plant hanger. This pattern is extremely easy to customize to fit all your air plants or just a few. You can even display fake plants in the tiny baskets if live air plants aren't your jam. 

What an easy gift for any level of plant lover! Make it in any color your to match your decor or add a pop of color to a corner of your home.

My daughter fell in love with the Chirri & Chirra series of children books after a trip to our local library. We checked out Chirri & Chirra, The Snowy Day. I was drawn to the beautiful art style and my daughter loved reading about the adorable twin sisters' adventures. 

Of course we bought the entire series and have continued to enjoy the newest release Chirri & Chirra, Underground.

There were no toys with their likeness so my daughter asked if I could crochet a set of dolls. I thought they turned out so cute and wanted to share.

I've tried to make the pattern as simple as possible for all skill levels. If you have never made an amigurumi doll here are a few links that might come in handy.
