Here is a walker tote bag that I crocheted using red, white and blue yarns. I found these cute buttons at Walmart that I thought just looked right for this patriotic themed project.
Here is the link for the free walker-wheelchair tote bag pattern. This is an easy pattern that is crocheted using half double crochet (HDC) stitches and is worked in the round. The finished size for this walker carrier bag is 9.5″ long by 11.5″ wide.

I finally got my Mojo back after several years and crocheted two Mother Bears. Each month over at the Mother Bear group on Ravelry, they feature a theme. Wonderful women was the theme for March. I crocheted Diana bear in honor of my SIL who passed away and who was such a wonderful, warm, and loving person. Here is Diana bear dressed up using the free Mother Bear flower dress pattern.
Next is Aurora bear for the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. This Red Heart Stripes yarn worked out just right for reflecting this month’s theme of sky items.
Introducing the latest of my recycled bags. This is a wheelchair or walker tote that is crocheted all in recycled plastic bags. Some people also call them a wheelchair carrier as you use them to carry things such as books, newspapers or tissues.
This recycled bag was crocheted using the free puff stitch wheelchair tote pattern. It features a red, white and blue striped theme. As it is hard to find these special colored bags, I only crocheted the puff stitches on the front of the tote. Each puff stripe row used less than 2 colored plastic bags made into plarn to crochet.
I used a K (6.5 mm) crochet hook to work this tote bag. Final finished size is 10.5 inches wide by 9 inches long with 6.75 inch straps. I added
I am sharing a wonderful little crochet project called bobble pocket prayer squares. These squares are about 3″ by 3.5″ and use around 11 to 12 yards of worst weight yarn to crochet.
The free crochet pattern for the bobble pocket prayer square is found here at Jamie’s blog. Quoting Jamie, “this hand-held prayer square gives you something to hold while praying and the cross itself is a beautiful texture that is soothing to hold.” The squares are a wonderful little item to give to someone who may be going through a difficult time or just as a small gift of comfort to provide to a person.
Here is a poem that can be added to the bobble prayer square that is used with permission from Nana48532 from Ravelry.
This project uses a recycled milk jug ring as a base for a towel topper. It’s a simple crochet idea that I created as I needed a ring to hang up a towel on a hook in my kitchen. So I used a milk jug ring and crocheted it onto my towel topper using a kitchen towel folded in half.
Here is a closeup on the crocheted towel topper.
