Welcome to My Workbasket!

Let me give you a tour!

The website has a blog-style set-up with craft projects, tutorials, and patterns. It was recently redone and is still being edited. After years of running this site, it got really bloated with unused posts and they were removed to make way for the new. The blog is the place to go for patterns, and if you prefer reading to watching videos. The Blog will occasionally be updated with only a few posts per month. 

If you want absolutely nothing but FREE Patterns of all kinds, then click the Free Patterns Button.

Prefer videos? Want to hear me chatter? Check out my YouTube channel, where I regularly vlog my craft endeavors.  I try to post multiple times a week of behind the scenes crafty fun and chatting!

Hi All!!In this video, I show off my "Magpie Jar" aka cute glass jar of random wibbly bits. I also show off some recent papercrafts and explain a bit about how they are done. In editing, I realized the camera doesn't always have the best angle or focus, but unfortunately, if I re-record it then I've already seen the Magpie Jar and you don't get to see it for the first time with me. So I decided to just go with it. Here is the link to the stand-up card Template:https://craftworld.com/cms/free-stand-up-card-template/Unfortunately, I can not find the Little Women papers still available anywhere. You could perhaps check eBay, or various buy/sell/trade groups. Thanks for watching!

Recently I bought several handmade afghans at the thrift store and one needed some repair, so I decided to share my knowledge with you and show you how I repair blankets. I hope this helps you rescue some blankets as well and helps keep more handmade blankets stay in use. Thanks for watching!#repair #afghan #crochet #myworkbasket #blanket
