Who doesn't love popcorn? Hot, buttery, yummy...even plain, or caramel corn is amazing!

I designed two different sizes, along with a bowl to keep them in, for a fun addition to kitchen play for kids, and we've got them all~plain, buttered, caramel, and even extra butter!

Yes~We have jumped on the viral (again!) Hackysack craze!

I love the neon look, so I decided to create a couple neon styled sacks to play with, and I love how they turned out!

Even better~they can be created in any colors, with your leftover scraps, hence-the name "Scrappy Sacks" ;)

NotJUSTforPencils`FREE~TriflesNTreasures

It's back to school time!! I couldn't let that pass without commemorating it in some small way~lol

Of course, when you have teens, sometimes they are just "too cool" to take Moms crocheted creations to school with them, so I designed my pencil pouch (which I think is absolutely cool enough for school!) to put my spare hooks in! Hence, the Not JUST for Pencils Pencil Pouch was born...

Who else has noticed an abundance of wasps suddenly appear at their homes?? I'm all for nature doing its thing, but I really don't want aggressive stinging critters that close to my front door!

I have seen other decoy nests, and heard they work wonders, so I decided to design my own, and I really love how it turned out!

36MinuteMask~Modeled~FREEPattern~TriflesNTreasures

Yep~another face mask! Nope~that's not a typo! It literally took me 36 minutes, from first stitch to last to whip this up for a friend <3
Of course, I made sure to have a pocket, for the disposable filters, but you can also make it with just one layer, for a mask cover, if you prefer...

PleatedFaceMaskWithPocket~FREE~TriflesNTreasures

My son and I~looking "tough"... :D

I hesitated publishing this pattern, because these are NOT medical grade face masks...They will NOT stop the coronavirus...But, if you want to protect yourself and others while on a quick run for necessities, or out walking with your family, they do offer some level of protection, while saving our limited supply for medical personnel :)
These masks have a pocket built-in on the back side, for you to use your own removable, disposable filters. Please be sure to throw the disposable filter away, upon your return home, and then just pop the mask into the washing machine!
