Free Printable Mother’s Day Cards

Well, Mother’s Day is a bit early this year, and there is no going out to get cards, flowers, etc as usual! I thought it would be fun to design a few Mother’s Day Cards that you can print and send to your mom or even your Grandma. I keep thinking to myself, “but what are the people to do without a stockpile of craft supplies?!” Relax, I got you! Look through these cards and print what you like! There are a few designs and some you can print black and white and color yourself. Or give to your 6 year old to color, like I probably will! Print these cards on cardstock for best results, fancy resume paper, or even regular copy paper. A meaningful note inside always makes it special!

If you need to make an envelope, there are tons of tutorials on YouTube. I really like this one, though, by Vectoria Designs: it is so straightforward and simple, but looks pretty! Once your envelope is ready, measure to see what size your card must be to fit inside. These cards I’m sharing are a few different sizes: 4in x 5.5in, 5in x 7in, and 8.5in x 5.5in.

I mean, how cute is this one?!

What do you think about a little basic card DIY? That anyone can do? I already have a post written about that, but I’m just not sure about it. I think I need a video tutorial to go with it, which I haven’t branched into! Hm, okay, Mother’s Day is almost here, you go print your cards, write something nice inside, and I’ll go freak out deciding what I’m doing with the DIY card post! AAAAAAAAAND GO!

Follow this link to the Mother Lode Printables Library, where you can find all of these cards!

P.S. If you have any trouble printing these, please let me know in the comments or on IG @motherlodecrafts ! I’ll be happy to help!

Simple Ripples Baby Hat

I’m so thrilled to offer to you my first crochet pattern! I’ve been crocheting almost 7 years. On and off at first and now I am definitely a yarn hoarder. I just kept coming back to it as my craft of choice!

You know, it’s funny, I’m in my 30’s and really just now starting to dream of what I want to be when I grow up. Meaning, I never had much of a career aspiration. I liked French class in high school, so I decided to major in French in college. In college, I planned on getting married and starting a family, so I studied education as well, because I thought it would be a less difficult career to raise a family while doing (haha, oh young Priscilla, who knew nothing.) I intended to teach high school French. That never happened and I ended up teaching preschool, which I loved, but admittedly, wasn’t interested in doing long-term. I’ve now been a stay at home mom for almost 7 years. My little ones are getting older and I’m looking to the future. What am I going to do when they are all at school!?

Now don’t get me wrong, my buddy, laundry will always be around and the little boy pee around the toilets won’t clean itself, but, in between that stuff, I want some kind of creative outlet and some kind of part-time work. As I have grown my crochet skills in the last few years, I am seeing the potential as a career for myself that allows me to hop over to school for volunteering and throw dinner in the crock-pot while I’m at home testing patterns, creating my own, and sharing them on my blog!

I started testing patterns for other designers in January to get some practice. I needed to start understanding how pattern design works on the paperwork end. It’s been such fun being part of a community of crocheters and I’m loving it!

Okay, hold your horses, I’m getting to the pattern! One thing I’ve always made is hats. My boys all wear mommy-made hats, my nieces and nephews, etc. I like making them because there is SO much you can do from the very simple to the very complicated. They are generally a smaller project, too, so you get that feeling of accomplishment sooner. If you’ve ever crocheted and thought hats were hard, you’ve got to make this one! It’s crocheted as a rectangle, then stitched to form a tube, then cinched at the top to make a hat! No tricky rounds to count here! I hope you love this hat and I plan to make it in adult sizes in the fall if you haven’t little ones in your life to make for. The PDF is available for $2 on Ravelry! If you’ve never made this kind of hat before, it is helpful to be able to print the pattern. It has 12 progress photos and more detailed explanations to help you!

Supplies

  • Lion Brand Feels Like Butta yarn in color of choice (samples: Charcoal, Sage, Ice Blue) 2 oz; 130 yds (1 skein) 
  • crochet hook US size I /9 (5.5mm) or size needed to obtain gauge
  • pom-pom maker (optional)
  • tapestry sewing needle
  • scissors

Stitches

  • Ch= Chain
  • HDC= Half Double Crochet
  • DC= Double Crochet
  • SS= Slipstitch
  • BLO= Back Loop Only

Sizing in the pattern is marked as follows:

Newborn (0-6 month, 6-12 month, 1-3 years) Stitch counts marked as { } at the end of the row. Turning chain does not count towards stitch count.

Gauge: 16 HDC in 11 rows= 4″ (10cm) OR 15 DC in 8 rows = 4″ (10cm)

Instructions

Ch 26 (30, 34, 38).

Row 1: HDC in 3rd chain from hook. HDC in each stitch across. Turn. {24 (28, 32, 36) HDC}

Row 2: Ch 2, DC in BLO in each stitch across. Turn.

{24 (28, 32, 36) DC}

Row 3: Ch 2, HDC in each stitch across. Turn. {24 (28, 32, 36) HDC}

Rows 4- 24 (28, 32, 36): Repeat Rows 2 and 3.

(Final row should be a row of double crochet BLO.)

At end of last row, turn and SS to seam the short sides of the rectangle with the wrong side (flat side) facing out. Finish off, leaving a tail of at least 12 inches. Use this long tail to sew with a tapestry needle every few stitches around the top, pulling tightly to cinch the top of the hat closed. Stitch back and forth across the top of the hat a few times to be sure the top is tightly closed. Weave in the remaining tail, or use it to attach a pom. Weave in any remaining ends.

Well that’s all she wrote! It’s been a crazy past few weeks getting this together, but I’m so happy I made the jump to do it! What is something new you are going to challenge yourself with?

DIY Wind Chime

Picture this: you’re on the back patio. The sun is warm. The wind is blowing. Your wind chime tinkles. Oh wait, you don’t have a wind chime? Make one!

My mom has an old wind chime that I think was her grandmother’s. I love the sounds of a wind chime! I love the big ones with long pipes that make a peaceful gong kind of sound. I’m sure with time and materials, they would be rewarding to make, but this was a quick and fun project for me and my boys. I only bought one item for it and the rest I had at home! This DIY tutorial is for a chime that makes a little ding and looks cute.

Materials:

  • hot glue gun
  • tiny ceramic pot
  • large glass or wood beads
  • yarn/string and a large tapestry needle
  • floral wire
  • craft paint, brushes, q-tips

Step 1: Paint the tiny pot! I was feeling artsy so I painted a cherry tree branch on mine, but just polka dots, lines, zig-zags would be adorable! I got out q-tips to help make little polka dots along the inside rim of mine. The kids used them for dots on theirs, too! I think they turned out so cute. Let the paint dry before moving on.

Painted pot for a wind chime project

Step 2: Decide what beads to use. Put them one at a time on a piece of string through the hole in the center and swing it against the side of the pot. Pick one based on the sound you like best. Use that one inside the pot and the others as decorations below. String the beads on your string in whatever manner you like. I used a tapestry needle to get mine to hang staggered on the yarn as shown in the following photos.

First, I put this little bell in the middle of my string.
Next, I threaded the bead onto both strands, then threaded one end of the string through a large tapestry needle (If your bead is large enough, you can probably get it through the hole with your fingers.)
Finally, I put each end through the hole of the bead to lock it into place.
TA DA!

Step 3: Use floral wire to create a hanger for the top, as pictured below. Use hot glue to glue the string through the hole at the top of the pot. Put one bead on the hanger, then hot glue the bead and hanger at the top of the hole.

Step 4: Use yarn or string through the wire hanger to attach to a tree!

What do ya think?! I love the way these turned out. This is our second spring/summer in our house and I’m looking forward to tons of time by this beautiful magnolia tree and these cuties!

At Home Activities

I’ve had a few friends message me (since I am a stay at home mom) asking for activities to do with little kids while we are all stuck in the house due to Coronavirus quarantine orders. Since I am a little behind on craft projects I had planned to share with you, I figured I can round up a few of my older parenting posts together with easy activities that you can do. Not everyone is going to be doing five hundred crafts a day or going off to the nearest mountain for a hike right now. Most of us just need a few extra things that are easy to set up and give you a nice feeling of togetherness and maybe even a little learning.

Sidewalk Chalk Activities

I love the versatility of sidewalk chalk! Last week, I used it to practice counting and number writing with my four year old. I drew four apples, then a box. He counted the apples, then I had him write the number in the box. Easy and fun practice. We did shapes and other nature pictures like flowers, leaves, basically whatever is quick to draw. Here is the link to my other sidewalk chalk activities!

Inside Physical Movement Activities

Parents of the world who are living in metro areas without easy access to the outdoors right now: my heart goes out to you! It is so hard to keep it together with little ones cooped up inside, particularly this time of year when we are coming into the Spring and ready more than ever to play outside. These activities are great for indoors with toddlers and little kids. Check out the yoga, I annoyingly tell everyone about it. It’s so fun and relaxing for mommy and daddy to do, too! We’ve done so many, that now I know enough poses to make up a story myself and lead them.

NATURE

I can’t keep out of my garden right now. Spending time pulling at the weeds, basking in the relative quiet as the kids play in the backyard is truly helping me stay relatively calm during this uncertain time. (Seriously, we were out for an hour earlier and we’ll probably do another hour soon!) This list has simple nature activities for your little ones that take very little to set up and can spark rich conversations.

Toy Clean-up Tricks

I don’t know about you, but having the kids at home ALL THE TIME right now is causing an explosion of toys. With my oldest in Kindergarten this year and preschool for my 4 yr old, I had gotten used to it being less of a mess! I set up part of the playroom to be our schoolwork space and put a few extra toys in the basement to help with that. This post has several tricks to getting little ones to help put away toys. (Sidenote: why can’t they just listen the first time? Heck, I will gladly take the second time!)

Okay, parents of the world. I like to be honest, you know. This SUCKS. I know there are plenty of worse things people have gone through in their lives. This, though, is so wrought with the unknown that it’s scary and weird, and are we doing the right thing? Are we just throwing the economy in the toilet? Is any of this going to be worth it? I DON’T KNOW. I’m going to remain hopeful and take my advice from Frozen II and “do the next right thing” for my family and loved ones and anyone that I can. Right now that looks like staying at home with three little boys and doing my best to love and educate them. Give yourself the space to be upset about this. Then, move forward, do your best, and we can get through it!

Hugs to you all during this crazy time and shout-outs to the doctors, nurses, food service workers, police and first-responders, janitorial/housekeeping staff, social workers, scientists, factory workers, government employees, news media employees, and countless others whose jobs provide necessary services to our communities that we can’t function without. Prayers of health, safety, and peace during this (let’s face it) VERY HARD time.

DIY Crochet Flower Wreath

The very first crochet item I ever made was a wonky scarf for my mom. It was uneven FOR SURE. I ended up crocheting a flower to add to it, and it did help it look a little better. It was still bad, though, haha. With practice comes consistency, and the last several larger projects I’ve made have really shown me how much muscle memory my hands have gained in keeping stitches even in size. So, if you are just starting out, or creating a project here and there, know that with practice and time comes consistency to make a beautiful piece!

In the meantime, there are many crochet flower patterns that are easy to follow and require only a few simple stitches. They are very forgiving since they are attempting to mimic real flowers, which aren’t uniform anyway. You can easily master a few different flower designs and work them up in your favorite colors to adorn anything! They are popular on headbands, pillows, and occasionally garments. I’ve seen a few wreaths out there that are entirely made from crocheted flowers. I wanted to mimic that but with a little less time and a little more simplicity.

Read on for how I created this Crochet Flower wreath!

stick wreath with crocheted flowers

I bought this gorgeous Lion Brand Yarn called Coboo made from cotton and bamboo. The colors are so pretty and it’s very silky soft. I bought three colors from JoAnn Fabrics to create this bold spring wreath and I’m so happy with how it turned out. The stick wreath form I got at Michael’s for like 5 bucks, and since I just attached the flowers with wire, I can use the wreath form again if I want to create something else!

Step One: Choose your yarn. Any yarn will do for making flowers. For these, I wanted smaller, tightly stitched flowers, so I used the Coboo yarn which is a weight 3 yarn. Coordinate your hook with your chosen yarn. Again, I was going for smaller with mine, so I went down a hook size from the recommendation on the yarn package. (I used an E hook.)

Step Two: Crochet flowers in varying sizes, about 6. Here is an easy pattern by Crochet 365. This tutorial from Love Life Yarn I used for the larger carnation flowers. Then crochet two leaves to go with the flowers. You can find a simple leaf pattern from MamaChee. Weave in the ends of everything and cut the excess yarn.

crochet leaf

Step Three: Arrange the flowers and leaves on the wreath so you can plan which shall go on first and which shall overlap on top. Attach the leaf at the top using floral wire. Cut a length of floral wire of about 8 inches. Bend in half and feed part of it through the back of your leaf. Once it feels securely part of the leaf, weave the wire onto the sticks of the wreath as you would a Christmas pick. For the flowers, I bent a bit of the length of wire at the top, then I stuck it through the center of the flower at the back sideways and bent it in the center of the flower, so as to have two lengths of wire coming from the center. These lengths I wound together and then placed into the wreath and wove a bit around the sticks. Continue attaching each element until your desired effect is achieved!

I hope you liked this project! I’m already envisioning a sunflower one in the height of summer, wouldn’t that be lovely!?

Simple Sewing Patterns for Beginners

So to let you know that I am not a sewing genius: my original intention for this post was to be a pattern/tutorial of my own! Alas the finished product does not look awesome, so it will be back to the drawing board, er sewing machine. In the meantime, I want to share these simple patterns that even I thought were easy! They can help you learn some sewing skills and feel the rush of accomplishment from making something yourself. (A feeling I am not having right now!)

First is this versatile and easy fleece hat pattern. I’ve actually even made it with a knit fabric once for a costume and it turned out nicely! This pattern is so easy to follow. The pattern pieces print on four sheets of paper. You trim and tape the sheets together. Then cut two pieces of fleece and follow the directions for sewing. It is a VERY forgiving pattern and one of the first things I ever made. I was making Pokemon costumes for my sons about 3 years ago and the pattern called for a complicated hood. I was having trouble with it and decided to hunt for an easy hat pattern and landed on this! There are many cool things you could do to personalize this hat. I just made a 101 Dalmatians one from fleece for my 6 yr old and it is becoming a favorite for wearing under a hood when it is very cold outside. The fleece website the pattern is from has many options, too!

Next is this pattern for an adorable super hero cape for your little one! I had so much fun making these for my kids. The first one I made out of an old Virginia Tech shirt of my husbands and it was so cute! Since then I made a few for my nieces and I just made one this past Halloween to dress up my 4 year old like Batman. It was so cute and he just told me the other day he wants to take it for his next show and tell at school.

Baby items are fun to make and personalize them with funky fabric. I made a Mickey Mouse lovey blanket for a family member and it was very simple and one of my favorite makes. I also liked making this pacifier clip for my own baby and I think we actually used it with my third one as well. I liked the clip on it because it was strong but not easy for them to get pinched with.

My kids still love this tiny pillow I made for the first long car ride when they were little! It’s so easy and cozy. They play with their stuffed animals with it, sleep with it occasionally, and we’ve used it in the car many times. Somehow I’ve managed to not make anymore of them, but we are heading to the Outer Banks this summer for vacation and that means at least an 8 hour car ride so I think I better get busy!

My last one to share is a heat pack! I love this pattern and I’ve made so many. You can make them in all different sizes. In the fall, I made a new one for my dad and with the leftover scraps, I made two little bean bag sized ones for when my boys get an ear infection. My 3 year old won’t sleep without it right now as he and I both just can’t kick the sinus congestion from a cold!

Printable Medicine Tracker

My kids have been sick on and off since December 31st and I am OVER it. At one point there were three different people on antibiotics. I ended up buying like 15 new toothbrushes so I could keep changing the kids toothbrushes due to strep. We’re finally mostly healthy.

Since I am forgetful, I write everything down. Everytime I gave someone a fever reducer, I was scribbling on scrap papers to know when the next dose should be. I know families with medical issues keep records in planners, etc. I didn’t need that. I needed something to just keep track for the few weeks that everyone was sick. This medicine tracker is made to conveniently write down when each kid had fever reducer so you don’t have to try to get your fog-brain to remember at 2am when someone is crying.

printable medicine tracker
So easy to keep track!

This printable is made to be used in a couple of ways. I have a little 3M laminator. I laminated it, stuck some magnets to the back and next time I need to track the kids medicine doses, I can easily keep it on the fridge and use a dry erase marker on it. You could also put it in a plastic sleeve protector and dry erase on that to re-use it. I created the document so that it wouldn’t be too wasteful to use a new one each time, because you can track four days on each sheet that prints. If you are extra earth conscious, you could even print on the backside and get 8 days on one sheet of paper.

I added this printable PDF to my Google Drive and you can print it there! Just click the photo below and you can access it. I hope this sheet is helpful for your family, because it is ROUGH when the kids are sick and the last thing you should have to worry about is overdosing on the Ibprofen! Let me know in the comments if you like this as is. I prefer the smaller size to take up less room, but I do have a larger size I could share, too. I just went with what I felt would be useful and usable for me!

DIY “Beautiful Stuff” Bird Feeder

DIY bird feeder
My DIY bird feeder made of recycled materials!

One of the things I love about our home is the trees in our yard! We have such a variety and I love how it feels like a forest in parts of the yard. I also really enjoy the birds! We’ve seen woodpeckers on the pine trees in the front yard, blue jays, chickadees, robins, and cardinals in the backyard. We’ve even had wild turkeys in our backyard! In the fall, the kids made pine cone bird feeders at school, and we used almond butter, pine cones, and birdseed to make some more to go with them. They look cute hanging from the magnolia tree in the yard. They are all nearly empty, now! It’s been great to watch the birds from the windows.

What seems like forever ago, I taught in a daycare in Virginia. The school was “Reggio-Emilia” based, which is similar to Montessori. We had a great art teacher there who taught me about “beautiful stuff.” This is a teaching idea from the book Beautiful Stuff: Learning with Found Materials by Cathy Weisman Topal and Lella Gandini. The gist of it is that found materials in nature, leftover scraps, recyclables can all be made into beautiful stuff: art, usable items, sculpture. I had students making cars from cardboard with milk top wheels, teachers used drink caps to create mosaics with their classes, etc. I loved it then, and I still love it. I am in the habit of keeping what I think of as beautiful stuff. Basically, if it can be hot-glued, painted, or colored with Sharpie markers, I will keep it for a “project.” (Honestly, I’m lucky my husband doesn’t throw my “beautiful stuff” out when I’m not home.) I love to make things out of old packaging like yogurt cups, soda bottles, clementine boxes, cardboard, etc.

burlap

So my love for the birds and beautiful stuff collided this week to make a cute bird feeder! Last year I made a bird feeder from a soda bottle and a spoon and it turned out decent, but it didn’t work perfectly. This week, I made a better one! The kids and I used old yogurt cups to hold the bird seed, and the top from a plastic candy container (those hard plastic Ferrero Rocher ones.) It turned out so cute and it lets the bird seed out better. I’m hoping it keeps the birds coming and my boys happy as we watch them having a snack.

Materials list

  • empty, clean, yogurt cups (2)
  • bottom from Ferrero Rocher chocolates (anything that you can use as a tray for the birdseed to spill onto)
  • burlap (probably about a 12×12 inch square piece
  • hot glue gun
  • x-acto knife (you could probably use a box cutter razor, too, if its very sharp.)
  • sharpie markers
  • sequins
  • picture hanging kit pieces, yarn
  • birdseed
sharpie marker on yogurt cup
My little one’s Sharpie art. These picture hangers worked great for this project.

First, I let the kids draw on the yogurt cups with Sharpie markers. While they did that, I hot glued the burlap along the bottom and up onto the “tray” where the seed will spill. I didn’t worry about it being neat, as the birdseed will cover it. Once the kids were finished with their drawing, I used an x-acto knife to cut two triangles on each side of the bottom cup. The top cup got one triangle cut and bent instead of cut entirely out. This is where you can refill the feeder. I used picture hangers because that is what I had, but you could also cut small holes in the top and string the yarn through. I hot glued the bottom cup to the tray, then the top cup on top of that! I finished by hot gluing some big sequins that I bought simply because I have no self-control at the craft store. The kids immediately wanted to feed the birds, so we filled it up and went outside to hang it! I strung it between the branches so hopefully more birds will eat it and not just the fluffy tailed rats, I mean, squirrels. Have confidence in your crafting and you can DIY anything!

5 Beginner Crochet Patterns

1.5 Hour Beanie by Make and Do Crew

I love the patterns from Make and Do Crew! They are fun and this one is so quick, you won’t believe it! I did change it a bit to use Caron Simply Soft yarn instead of the bulkier yarn that they used in the original pattern. This did make it take longer for me, but it was still quick to me! I usually make hats in the round which sometimes feels like it takes all of forever.

Waffle Dishcloth by Hooked on Tilly

I love this dishcloth as practice for Front Post Double Crochet. Since it is a dishcloth, I feel like the pressure is off to be perfect with your stitches, so this project is great for learning the Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC.) When you progress to making more complicated projects, particularly hats in the round and sweaters, the FPDC stitch is wonderful for adding ribbing at the edges, and is commonly used. I’m working on the finishing touches on my own hat pattern right now that has ribbing and it is turning out so cute!

Waffle dishcloth by Hooked on Tilly
My curated Instagram post, haha!

This one that I made has two extra rows of single crochet to make it a little bigger. I made it for my mother-in-law and she likes larger dishcloths.

Velvet Scrunchie by RthingsCreations on Sierra’s Crafty Creations Blog

Love these scrunchies! Velvet is definitely having a moment again and these scrunchies are a great way to wear it. I’ve made several and they are a quick, satisfying project. I will say that they are pretty tight on your hair when you make them with a regular hair-tie in the middle. You can make them a bit more loose by tying or sewing a length of elastic instead for the middle. That’s what I did. I actually intended to give them to my niece, but they are so comfortable, I may have to make more for her because I keep wearing them!

Chi-Town Crochet Cowl by Kathy Kelly (crochetbird)

I adore this pattern. It is so easy, particularly because gauge is not important, so if you are just starting out and learning the right tension, it is a great pattern. You only need two stitches: double crochet and single crochet. Another reason I like this pattern is that you can really use any yarn to make it! Seriously, I’ve used Lion Brand Homespun which is a bulky yarn as well as the Caron Simply Soft with lovely results.

Love the bright colors on this cowl. This yarn is from a Caron Cake.

Crochet Triangle Wrap by Mama in a Stitch

This wrap is a great starter pattern. The gauge isn’t super-important and the stitches are easy. It is one of those projects which after a few rows you don’t need to look at the pattern anymore. (These are my favorite kind of patterns!) This wrap looks wonderful in a variegated color yarn. I also made one as a stash buster, using several leftover colors I had in the same type of yarn. I made two wraps this past fall and loved the way they turned out. One of them I made fairly small, then seamed the back to create a cowl and it turned out so pretty.

Granny triangle wrap
LOVE the way this one turned out. I particularly like the tassels, I have one more skein of this yarn somewhere and I want to make a matching hat!

This is one of my favorite yarns (Lion Brand Homespun) and I had several small balls of it leftover from various projects which turned into this soft and beautiful cowl!

The Tooth Fairy

Well, it happened. My oldest started losing his baby teeth and my husband and I started losing our minds that the kids are growing up.

A couple of months ago, the first one started wiggling. As the weeks went on and it became more loose, my 6 year old became more anxious. He often experiences nerves for unknown firsts like this. He was nervous that it would hurt, wondering when it was going to come out, etc. In order to turn his fears to excitement, my husband decided that the tooth fairy would bring our son a special “ticket” for a sleepover at my in-laws. I remember explicitly saying, “Oh is she?! Wow, that’s a pretty cool tooth fairy.” As I was inwardly thinking, “Well there has been neither consultation with the tooth fairy nor my in-laws on this ticket thing!” I will say that this did seem to calm my son’s fears and he thought it would be so awesome to get this “ticket,” which he mentioned repeatedly in the following weeks.

The tooth loosened even more, and one day my son came home from school with a little tooth locket necklace from his teacher. I knew my evening would now be spent on the computer to make sure the tooth fairy could bring him this “ticket.”

A week later, he lost his 2nd tooth and was rewarded with another “ticket,” this time for a trip to the park with his dad to play Pokemon Go. (You see what that tooth fairy did there, turning it back to the dad.)

I’ve decided to allow the tooth fairy to continue bringing “tickets” for teeth. (She also leaves a dollar.) I think it’s something that can grow with my children and can be easily done at the last minute which is in my wheelhouse! If you think the tooth fairy might want to bring your child a “ticket,” too, you can get the PDF, just click the image below!
