Matthew 7:7, Psalm 56:3 and Isaiah 41:10

I found a nice, hidden spot at a nearby park today. In fact, it was so nice that I left three tags at this park! The first two were in this area where a leaning tree has formed a sort of hideout. I can tell I'm not the first person to find this spot, because the dirt underneath has been sifted and trampled a bit. (Forgive the underexposed photos; since this was a last-minute tag, I only had my camera phone!)

I left a bright yellow and white crochet piece on a branch with a tag quoting Matthew 7:7 - "Seek and you will find."

Very close to the yellow and white piece, I attached a blue and pink snuggie tagged with Psalm 56:3 - "I will trust in you."

After watching my son play on the nearby playground and enjoying the sunshine, I decided to leave one more tag in a separate area. It quotes Isaiah 41:10 - "Do not fear." This one was made with a Doodle Loom and a skein of variegated yarn.

I haven't tagged in so long that I've forgotten how much fun it is!

Isaiah 40:29 & Romans 13:10

The winter months were too cold for me to do any tagging, besides the Christmas surprise for my neighbors. I've been slowly working on some tags indoors, and got my first chance to place two of them today.

I placed them both on trees at my favorite building. (Yes, my church!) Please forgive the photo quality. I left my DSLR at home and only had my camera phone.

The blue one is labeled with Romans 13:10: "Love does no harm to a neighbor."

The brown one is labeled with Isaiah 40:29: "He gives strength to the weary."

Can you see it on the tree? Here's a closer photo.

Guess What I Found?

Leftovers, Etc. is one of my most favorite stores in town. On a recent shopping trip, I hit the crochet jackpot! I found pieces already crocheted, so I bought a bag full of them. I have plans to make a scarf out of them (to give to my friend who helps the homeless), and use some of the other pieces in my Crosschet tags.

Romans 13:10

"Love does no harm to a neighbor." Romans 13:10

This was my very first nighttime, incognito tag! And what better place to tag than my very own street?

The first time I read the book Yarn Bombing, I was on the driveway with my neighbors. I showed them a few of the cool photos and ideas. We joked about how I might crochet a cover for one of the trees in my front yard or a mailbox cozy. I said that my husband might have a fit if I did that.

But... I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I tagged someone ELSE'S mailbox. Ha! So I decided to tag their mailboxes instead. I have been working on these four pieces for a week now, and finally finished them yesterday. I can't wait to see what my neighbors say about them.

Psalm 37:7

"Quiet down before God." Psalm 37:7

This was an iffy tag for me: iffy because I'm not sure how long it'll last at its location, iffy because it's my first tag in a pretty obvious place, and iffy because it's a public place too.

On our road trip home after Thanksgiving, we stopped at a gas station right outside of Louisville, Kentucky. I am not really sure exactly where we stopped, other than it was around mile 13 on I-64 heading west. Here's an extremely blurry photo of the gas station as we drove away:

Wanna know where I left my tag? Ha!

And here's the sign that gives me reason to believe the tag may only last a short time in its location:

If the staff clean the restrooms really well and really often, I'm pretty sure they'll remove the tag soon.

2 Corinthians 12:9

"My grace is sufficient for you." 2 Corinthians 12:9


My family and I are on a LONG drive for Thanksgiving, and I made plans to tag some items while we are gone.

Our first stop was at my sister's house in North Carolina. While everyone was getting ready for church and loading the car, I snuck over to a tree near my sister's driveway and placed a tag on it.


I'm not sure if my sister saw me do this. The cat is definitely out of the bag with my husband, though. He watched me do this, shaking his head at me because he thinks this whole yarn bombing thing is crazy. Luckily, he's used to craziness and just lets me do my thing.


I chose this Scripture for my sister's tree as a blessing to her family, that they lean on God's grace and let it blanket them with goodness.

Isaiah 40:1

"Comfort my people." Isaiah 40:1

Ever since I read the Yarn Bombing book, I knew one of the places I wanted to tag was at my church. I wanted it to be inconspicuous so it didn't detract from the building's design elements. There's a basketball goal behind the church and I thought it would be a good place to tag. I measured it this past Saturday before we attended worship services, and worked on the tag last night.

I think the people most likely to see this crochet graffiti are the church staff members, who are the shepherds in charge of guiding the church goers. They do a fantastic job of spreading the Gospel and comforting God's people, so I chose this Scripture in hopes of inspiring them.

I made the tag a little too big, but thankfully I tied strings on different areas of it so I could tighten it a bit.

All three of the tags I've made so far have been too big for their intended spots. I guess I need to scale it down!
