Crocheting already...?


(Coffee Cozy - $12.00)

As I sit here crocheting through a nasty rain storm, I am reminded of autumn temperatures & cozy moments sipping my latte'.  Fall will be here before we know it!  Time to plan for the holidays - yikes.

I will be adding a few new colors of Coffee Cup Cozies to the shop soon.  This Speckled Tan Cozy is soft & has a simple bow attached.  A great gift for your coffee buddy or co-worker!

Chunky Coffee 'Costume'...?

Thick & Chunky Bark Cozy
These Thick & Chunky Cup Cozy's have become one of my favorites.  And when I say "Thick", I really mean it!  They have oversized flowers made of organic cotton & my new wood bark buttons - so cute!  This is the perfect gift for fall, as we start to 'dress-up' our coffee cups for Halloween!  The adults need to have fun, too.  Enjoy the chilly temps with your favorite drink.

Fun for Fall....

Thick & Chunky Sweet Beans Cup Cozy's are on their way!  Oh my - These Chunky Cozy's have stollen my heart with their fluff.  You know you are grabbing something thick & snuggly when you hold one of these.  I can't wait for you to try them.  Working on Butterscotch, Bark Brown, Harvest Pumpkin, Fisherman Cream, etc.  Most of them will match the new Sweet Chunky Neck Cowls that are being added to the shop.  Get 'em now, so you won't be left holding a steaming hot (naked) cup of coffee!!!  Do you like them with the flower & button or not?

Morning Mug Wrap

Well, these are a ton of fun.  This MUG Wrap Cozy is meant for your morning mug of coffee.  The Mug Wrap Cozy is a bit longer than a cup cozy, to accomodate the width of a breakfast mug. 
Most of these new designs are being made from my stash of Wool Yarns. They are easy to wash & keep ready for your next hot drink!  I hope you enjoy these new additions to my collection of Cozy's.

Mug 'Wrap'

Yes, they are finally here! I've been wanting to do a Cozy Mug Wrap for the longest time. Everytime I make one that fits over the handle of the mug, it's a bit too high for my liking. This is a wrap around style that will button around your mug & the height of the Cozy shouldn't interfere with your lips! These Mug Cozy's are flexible enough to fit a few different mug styles. The button fits snuggly into the stitches & allows you to get it as tight as you need it to be.

Of course, this is a great way to decorate your morning coffee mug, differentiate your mug from the others in the office, & absorb the little sip spills that dribble down the mug - but it will also protect your hands from the heat of the boiling hot mug (if you are the type to hold on to the mug instead of the handle...?) However you use it, it's a fun addition to your morning addiction! Change up the color to be seasonal.

To clean, simply hand wash in warm water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry in order to retain shape.

To-Go-Cup Cozy 'Wrap'

 This is one of my new 'wrap' designs for your To-Go-Cup. I have fallen in love with this idea & hope you enjoy it, too.  The Cozy simply wraps around your cardboard cup & the button fits snuggly through the stitches to adjust where you need it to.  The one in this picture is made from a Faded Denim Wool Yarn with a Coconut Button - very sustainable!!

I hope you enjoy this new style - It will match the new Cozy Mug Wraps that are coming soon.

Rainy Day Experiments!

Today is a rainy, dreary 'crochet day' - I've been experimenting with all the yarn stash & crochet needles I have!  I have recently fallen in love with any type of wool blend yarn.

This is a Shorty Bow Cup Cozy made from Royal Purple & Heather Gray Wool Yarns.  I really like this new bow & will probably make some more to add to this lonely creature!










Walnuts Again?

It's fall again.  There are so many wonderful things in my back yard right now - The walnuts are plentiful & I couldn't help but chuckle at the amazing color similarity between this wool yarn & the outer shell of these walnuts!  Photo opportunity.  I love this Lemon Grass Wool color even more now & feel very inspired!  Where are you finding your inspiration?

Chocolate Mocha

Well, this new Shorty Cozy couldn't be any different (for my style)!  I found this Chocolate Acrylic Yarn at the bottom of my grandmother's yarn basket & started crocheting a Coffee Cozy with much hesitation.  For some reason, I just wasn't sure about the color or type of yarn.  Now that it's completed, I couldn't love it any more - It's very chocolately & warm with the brown on brown color - Perfect for your cup of hot chocolate or cafe mocha drink!!  The yarn is a substantial acrylic that will hold up for a long time, as it tirelessly protects you from hot liquids in your cup.  This Shorty Cup Cozy is accented with a leather button I've been holding on to from the button box.  Not sure that I'll be able to part with this one!

Bright & Cheery

Two new bright, cheery wool yarn Shorty Cup Cozy's in the shop - Robin's Egg Blue & Lemon Grass Green - wow!  There's something about these bright colors that make me feel energized, although I'm finding my cozy feelings still wrapped up in the colors of fall right now - we are having many brisk cool nights that bring on lots of snuggling!  These vibrants are a perfect compliment to each other.  Enjoy the buzz without all the caffine!

Mommy & Me...

We do our share of visiting the local gourmet coffee houses, as I love my coffee!  My kids have always gotten the 'Kids Drinks' off the menu, simply because they are the right price as well as the right portion of Hot Chocolate or Vanilla Steamer.  Each time, I can't help but fall in love with the petite little cups they are served in.  These coffee shops do a fabulous job of making sure the kids drinks are the perfect temperature.  But, I couldn't help but think it would be adorable to have a Cup Cozy for these little petite cups - not to protect their hands, but to match Mommy's Drink Cozy!  Your little one will be excited to have a Cozy, snuggly wrapped around her drink to look just like Mommy's!  I'll have to work on this idea a little more.

Celebrate Fall

I'm not sure that I'm ready, even though I've been thinking about it for weeks - Fall is coming quickly.  Next week to be exact - September 23 - Yikes!

I enjoy picking pumpkins with the kids; snuggling;  roasting marshmallows;  sitting around the fire on the patio;  hayrides;  sipping yummy hot drinks to keep me cozy warm;  colorful leaves falling in my back woods;  finding acorns all over the ground;  warm spicy apple cider;  pumpkin pie with chocolate drizzle & extra whipped cream; one last mow of the lawn;  crocheting in my bay window - and all of the many things that my mind evokes when thinking about the cooler temperatures.  But, now I'm a bit saddened because the summer is leaving us again for another year.  Let's get on with the snuggling!
