Hey There!

I love bright colors – so it makes sense that I love rainbows!😉😉 One of my favorite things to craft is keychains. I think they are a great accessory that you can put on multiple things: keys, backpacks and purses, wallets, and more! And so, I was recently inspired to make a rainbow keychain!🌈🌈

I started by cutting 4 white pipe cleaners to the length I wanted. Then I wrapped them thoroughly with different colors of yarn and knotted the ends:

I then bent them to make sure they fit inside one another. Next, I simply hot glued them together. The last step was adding a jump ring and keychain extension with pliers. Ta-da!

I wanted to make this keychain because of the colors, but also for a more important reason: as a token of remembrance of God’s promise:

“Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures on the earth.”
Genesis 9:14-16

Hey There!

Crocheting is an enjoyable hobby, and very useful. We recently got an aloe plant from a friend, but it turns out that aloe is poisonous to cats! Since we have a very active cat who loves jumping everywhere, we weren’t sure where to put the plant so she wasn’t in danger. Then my Mom had a great idea – she asked me to crochet a hanging planter for it!

I made up this pattern as I went along; customizing it for the vase we planned to use. I used a thin rope instead of yarn, because I didn’t want to take any chances of the yarn breaking and causing the vase to shatter. I had a lot of fun with this, and am very pleased with how it turned out… and now our cat isn’t in danger! 😉
