Crochet Hand Sanitizer Holder

I was reading Turtles All the Way Down by John Green the other day, and it inspired me to crochet a hand sanitizer holder. For those of you that have read the book, you'll get why. For those of you that haven't, well you really should! Anyways, here is the pattern. It's pretty simple, though you will…

100% Whole Wheat Vegan Orange Juice Waffles

I've been wanting a waffle maker for quite some time, so when I saw this mini waffle maker for $10, I knew I had to buy it. Now that I've played around with it, I wish I had bought a larger one. With the mini waffle maker, it's quite tedious to make each individual waffle…

DIY Fruit Bouquet (without cookie cutters)

We've all seen those ads for fruit bouquets, but they are really pricey.  $50+ for some fruit of questionable quality. For my dad's birthday, I decided to try to make my own. I already had bamboo skewers at home, and I got some fruit from Costco. I forgot that I needed a jar to put…

Crochet Amigurmi Chicken/Rooster Pattern

What's a chicken's least favorite day? Fry-day! Bad pun aside, happy Friday! I just crocheted this little dude today, and I can say he's pretty adorable. It took me around an hour to make, but that includes the time I spent fiddling around with the pattern. It's made in continuous rounds, so no slip stitching.…

Therefore, this recipe will be focused around the making of the roujiamo bun, as that is the traditional part. If you're interested…
