Craft finds including a homemade dog treat recipe, a festive pair of earrings, an embroidery hoop floral wreath DIY, free armwarmer crochet pattern, and free girls sewing pattern.
I have been doing my finds themed (Valentine’s Day, Spring, etc), but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue with Spring now that Easter is over, or not, so I just decided to pull finds from the top of my lists in the five categories.
I always love to share awesome patterns, tutorials, and finds with ya! If you would like to see a review on any of them, feel free to drop me a line!
Tasty Find – Homemade Chicken and Wild Rice Dog Treats from A Cultivated Nest:
Yes, my tasty finds are usually for people, but I have had this recipe on my list for a while. Any dog lovers out there? This is an excellent, healthy option to store bought treats. I have a cat, and I don’t think he’d eat these, but perhaps I will bake some, and give to my dog loving friends.
Jewelry/Beauty Find – Harlequin Romance Earrings (Free Jewelry DIY) from Facet Jewelry:
How cool are these festive earrings?! I love the quirky, randomness of these earrings. Perfect for Mardi Gras, or really anytime of the year! They are sure to be a conversation starter, AND, there is a matching necklace DIY available too!
DIY Find – Floral Embroidery Hoop Wreaths (Photo Tutorial) from Craftaholics Anonymous:
Ok, so this tutorial shows how to make a very easy embroidery hoop wreath, but what I fell in love with more than that was the set up. I love the frame behind it – imagine a flea market/thrift store find framing your handmade wreath!
Yarny Find – Vintage Style Arm Warmers with Thumbholes (Free Crochet Pattern) from Whistle & Ivy:
This crochet pattern is a remake of her original Vintage-Inspired Armwarmers which is simply that – arm warmers. This redesign includes includes to make them with armholes so they will be more secure, and cover more of your hands. Either way, gorgeous design – I love the feminine shell edge, not to mention those buttons!
Stitching Find – Girls Stay in Place Turban Towel (Free Sewing Pattern & Photo Tutorial) from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom:
This turban towel is such a handy make! It’s available in girls sizes, and especially perfect when it’s cold out. I kind of like the idea of this in a gift basket with other similar items for a girls birthday.

I am IN LOVE with the fact that that beautiful wreath is on a window! I can’t wait to go to the flea market to find me one to upcycle.
Your daughter sews? That’s awesome! If she gets a chance, I’d love to hear feedback on the pattern. I would like to make one for my little cousin (my sewing skills are very basic).
