I was in the Dollar Tree the other day and had brilliant idea. I had been looking at foam craft pieces that you use pins on to block your crochet/knit blocks. They are pretty pricey for you square. I found these in the kids education items at Dollar Tree. This block is approx. 12 inches…
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! What a last year was and what a great year this is going to be! Everyone starts the year off with great plans, ideas and goals. One of my goals this year is to post on this blog at least once a week. Exciting and new for ChrisCrossCrafts so far? Well after…
So while I am in bed last night trying to get to sleep, my smart-elic husband sees this last night and asks “Can you make this?” Now don’t get me wrong, I know he is a HUGE Mario fan, have seen this a few times, just did not think he would want one. I…
Valentine’s Day is just over a month a way. So, what better time to start crocheting for the holiday than now? I wanted something that would work up fast, but be practical to for a gift for family or a friend, maybe a Secret Cupid gift. This little heart works up in about 15 minutes…
