Featured Patterns!
At Crochet Memories I have lots of patterns, but unless you’re looking for something specific, few people have the time to simply browse. It’s never too early to start on Christmas projects. Fun Christmas crochet designs that should be on your must-make list!
North Pole Elf Kitchen Set
This fun and festive Tea party set of elves covers everything from the tea pot cozy and on. Jingle bells and the crocodile stitch come together in creating fun collars that are just so Christmassy! Yes, that’s a word… even if it’s not in the dictionary. But seriously, the little ones will love hot chocolate served up in this festive set for breakfast or late night!
Ice Crystals Lace Christmas Stocking
Christmas for me wouldn’t be Christmas without stockings. And even before I had a mantel or a fireplace, I hung them around the house from knobs of every sort. They can be beautiful to just plain fun. The Ice Crystals Lace Christmas Stocking would be ideal for baby’s first Christmas – complete with a crochet frame to hold his/her photo! And the thread lace cuff is just beautiful! With or without the frame, this would be a great stocking to include in your repertoire.
North Pole Express Tree Skirt
Any family would love to have this whimsical tree skirt for the foundation of their Christmas tree. Showcasing panels with a train from box cars to the engine, each displayed with a Christmas theme. And fun candy cane “connectors” will just add to the whimsy! Cars with windows for photos are ideal so one can include children, grandchildren, or even their pets. So many options and variations make this a unique tree skirt that can be exclusively yours to become a family heirloom!
Crochet News – say what?
Okay, none of us want to be this for Christmas… or maybe?

This Week’s Menu Plans:
If you’ve followed the blog much, you’ll notice I publish my upcoming menu plans for each week. Why? Actually this is to keep me on the up and up. I tend to get busy and before I know it, I’m out of steam and if I don’t have something planned, it’s the same old question that plagues many households at around 6:00 in the evening with; “What’s for dinner?” “I don’t know, what sounds good…” until eventually you’re ordering pizza or running through the drive thru at McD’s. Here are my menu plans:
If you’ve been reading my blog for long you know I enjoy cooking and I LOVE collecting recipes and cookbooks. I’ve done a couple of other cookbook reviews before but decided it was time for another. You can read my first cookbook review here and my second; here You can find this cookbook review; here!
Crushing on Amazon
Who doesn’t love to shop? And who doesn’t love to save money. I’ve found that often when comparison shopping, Amazon has the best price and being a Prime member, means no shipping charges. These are what I’m looking at now…
Having read all Goldie Schulz culinary mysteries by Diane Mott Davidson; I’m all in on this cookbook showcasing recipes throughout her books, her family life and so much more! Sounds like a great read and the recipes are to die for… is that metaphorically or literally?
Tuesday’s Trivia!

We recently purchased the tripod grilling rack which is nothing more than a rack that’s held up with chains on a tripod. We purchased it to grill over an open wood fire while camping. But then I found this cookbook that sounds to be the ideal accompaniment!
