Weekly Dose On Rockwood Lane 6

February 23, 2021

This week’s features include how to make a Dr. Pepper chocolate cake, how to make hammered wire earrings, how to make a floral embroidery hoop wreath, free crochet pattern for lightweight shawl and free sewing pattern for girls peasant dress.

I don’t know about you, but today, our “winter” high was practically 80 degrees. For some of you, this is Summer, but here in Florida, it’s pretty typical, so I am in full Spring mode. Enjoy these finds!

In case you missed it, I also shared a casual St. Patrick’s Day outfit idea.

On my EyeLoveKnots blog, I shared a free crochet pattern for how to crochet an easy corner to corner a leprechaun hat washcloth.

Dr. Pepper Chocolate Cake (free recipe) from The Kitchen is my Playground:

This cake looks so soft, moist, and delicious. I feel like once I try the chocolate icing, I will want to add it to all of my chocolate cakes! My husband doesn’t drink soda so perhaps I will try this for our next family dinner in case he doesn’t go for it. Hmm…

Hammered Chandelier Earrings (free jewelry DIY) from Crafts Unleashed:

The gold tone finding you see right there in the center is made with a jig. I want to get a jig!! You can do so many awesome things with them. I love the sweet little green bead on the bottom – this screams Spring to me!

Floral Embroidery Hoop Wreath from Craftaholics Anonymous:

Confession: I am in love with this new trend, but I have been too intimidated to try making one myself! Shame on me. Linda shares a photo tutorial, and it seems so quick and easy to put together.

Spring Leaves Poncho (free crochet pattern) from Be a Crafter:

This poncho has been on my list for quite some time. The leave pattern is just incredible – perfect for Spring or Fall depending on your fiber choice. Work it up in a solid color, or use a fun cake yarn with the subtle color changes.

Border Print Peasant Dress for Spring (free sewing pattern) from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom:

This dress is gorgeous! Though just a peasant dress, the fabric choice really makes it. This free pattern has many different versions (long sleeves, bell sleeves, ruffled, etc.), so definitely stop by to check them out, and don’t forget to thank Jamie for all her hard work!

    Ok I’m going to have to check out that cake. I’m glad you shared it because I would NEVER have thought to look up putting pop in a cake!

      Recently, I saw a whole post on different soda flavors you can pair with different cake flavors to make whole new flavors, like orange soda with vanilla cake mix! I bought the ingredients to try.

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind On Rockwood Lane and EyeLoveKnots! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

I've been shopping for a noodle bowl with chopstick holder for my niece. I really like this design.

Black OUGES Top (aff link)

Black OUGES Top (aff link)

When I received this black Ouges brand top in my September Amazon Wardrobe box, I was pretty happy. I have a similar top that I received in an earlier box that is the same brand, and I love the fit of it. I think the raglan style gives me a sort of confidence. I am a 42″ bust wearing the size Medium. There are several other colors available too!

It's lip balm season, and these lip balm holders are excellent! They come on a swivel hook that can be attached anywhere for easy access, and to make sure you don't lost your lip balm at the bottom of your bag. I personally have one of these. The quality is great, and Candace is lovely to work with! PLUS they come in 11 colors!
