The Rockwood Lane Weekly 34

August 1, 2023

This week’s Rockwood Lane Weekly finds include Spring, Summer and Christmas DIY, decor and outfit ideas.

This post contains affiliate links for Etsy and Annie’s Catalog. If you make a purchase by clicking on them, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support!

In a hurry? Pin this for later when you have more time.

I’m feeling a bit sad that Christmas in July is coming to an end, but I’ve had a lot of fun working up some Christmas items to use this year, though the latest one has taken a lot out of me. I’m hoping to finish it up today, get some photos and finish the video so I can publish it later this evening.

After the C2C Santa Coasters, I shared the Buffalo Plaid Shay Earwarmers, which comes in 4 sizes. It features simple single crochets. I do want to mention though that this crochet pattern is more advanced because of carrying the yarns, but definitely something a confident beginner could do!

I’ve been doing some moving around and organizing in my craft space, and the living room, again – it’s really never ending, hehe! But I finally made a space for and unboxed the Cricut I bought myself for Black Friday last year – yikes! And the Heat Press I got for my birthday earlier this year. I started brainstorming ideas, and I can’t wait to start using them!

If you’re in need of a dinner idea – I got you covered! With this Bacon Burger Mac and Cheese Skillet recipe, you can take a box of mac and cheese to the next level, but still have dinner ready in just 20 minutes. This dish is a regular dinner in our home.

I’ve recently added this 18 oz Red Lobster Tail Back Hurricane Glass to my eBay shop. Both smoothies and mocktails are perfect in this hurricane glass, or any cold beverage in between. It would also make a cute vase with some coastal themed floral pieces and/or picks, or as football decor for the upcoming season.

As well as some DIY Suncatchers, that are ready to paint, like this Sea Turtle. Suncatchers are the perfect craft for anytime! Hang from a sucker cup on the window, or string up and use as an ornament. I added a bunch – would be happy to combine a few and ship for one price!

If you’re interested in either of them, or any other items in my shop, I do accept Best Offer, so feel free to send me an offer, and mention you’ve popped over from this post.

In case you missed last week’s edition of The Rockwood Lane Weekly 33. Thank you to Maggie of Crochet Happens for helping out with the photo collage!

      Are those coasters just the cutest?! I NEED to make myself some! This year I added a new St Patrick’s Day welcome mat so perhaps I will add the coasters next year.

    Such a fun way to celebrate Christmas in July, Alexandra. The Santa coasters and the buffalo check ear warmers were so cute! I can wait to hear what you think about your Cricuit and your craft space. I know several people who have them and they love them! Thanks so much for sharing my Sweet Shop-themed Christmas tree. I really appreciate it. Hugs, CoCo

      You Sweet Shop themed tree was just too cute not to share!! I haven’t posted any updates in quite a while, but I absolutely love my Cricut machine! I have the Maker 3, and while I’m very much still a beginner and have only been doing this with paper, it was so easy to set up, and has been so easy to use! And I love that I can use Canva, which I’m very familiar with, and then upload my designs right into the Design Space. I just got a sublimation printer a couple weeks ago. Still in the box currently, but I have some blank items coming in, and I can’t wait to use it with my Cricut together! I’m having a blast with it!
