Hello blog friends.
I have another crochet project to share with you.
I have another crochet project to share with you.
I recently made some crochet towel holders.
 |
I made these to donate and sell at our annual crochet and knit sale we host each year at our church. Our church sale will be held the weekend before Thanksgiving.
I know these are retro but I thought these towel holders would make nice gifts for the holidays or to use for stocking stuffers. You can pair them with a holiday towel and they'll look festive.
 |
I had fun making these with different colored yarn. The fun part is they are a quick project to crochet. You do not need a hair rubber band to use for the ring on this towel holder.
CROCHET TOWEL HOLDER
DETAILS TO MAKE CROCHET TOWEL HOLDER
YARN: Any worsted weight yarn in any color you like
CROCHET HOOK: US size I
PATTERN: This pattern was found on YouTube by crochet designer Nautical Moon
I hope you visit Nautical Moon on YouTube and crochet these fun towel holders.

1. Celebrating My Blogiversary
I can't believe today is my 7th-year Blogiversary! I am amazed that I've been blogging for this long. I continue to blog because of you and you keep me inspired and motivated to be creative. I look forward to your blog visits and your sweet comments. I like the blog friendships I've made with you and I'm thankful that some of you have even made my recipes and crochet projects. I appreciate you and cheers to blogging with each other.
THANK YOU!
2. Thanksgiving Recipes
I like looking at the recipe ideas in my magazines. I hope to try out a few for the holiday season as I will be hosting Thanksgiving at my home this year.

3. Apple Pie
I enjoy making an apple pie for Thanksgiving. I posted on the blog a few years ago this Semi Homemade Apple Pie recipe. It's so easy to make and perfect for the holidays.
4. Monarch Butterfly
I spotted a few weeks ago this monarch butterfly. I was surprised that it stayed on the ground for such a long time.

5. Fall Vignette
Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I recently spotted this pretty fall vignette with the pumpkins, mums, pansies, cabbages, and corn stalk. Some of you might remember this photo on my Instagram @brklynhousewife.

6. Recent Visit
We visited our college girl a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful fall weekend.
We were also happy to see John Legend perform for her college. He is such an amazing singer and performer and we LOVED seeing the show.

We had breakfast the next morning at a popular cafe. I enjoyed my pretty latte and egg on a croissant sandwich.
7. Recent Book
I just finished reading Meet Me in Monaco by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb. I was so interested in reading this book after it was given 5 stars and recommended by the Preppy Empty Nester. It's the love story of a perfumer in Monaco and an American journalist. It also involves Grace Kelly's wedding. I'm sure you'll enjoy reading this book too.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a happy Friday and weekend.

Hello blog friends and Happy November.
I usually have frozen chicken cutlets in the freezer to thaw for a weeknight meal. One day I didn't take out of the freezer the chicken cutlets. Instead, I decided to make this chicken dish using the frozen chicken in the Instant Pot for a quick meal.
I was amazed at how this dish came out tasting so fresh and delicious. I also made Instant Pot White Rice as a side to go with this meal.
This chicken dish reminds me of Chicken Stew. If you like using the Instant Pot, I hope you'll try out this easy weeknight meal.
