Favorite Posts of 2014

Well, it’s that time of year when all the little bloggers in blogland wrangle up their top/favorite/most popular posts of 2014. These happen to be some of my favorite posts, so I had to do one too!

So, drumroll please…. I present the top ten most popular posts from this year!

Number 10 – 15 Copper Pipe DIYs Roundup

I was surprised to see that this one made my top ten posts, but those projects are all really amazing.

Number 9 – The Blog Hop Crochet Along Intro

One of the most exciting collaborations was involved in this year was the Blog Hop Crochet Along. It has been so fun to see everyone’s completed squares and afghans in our facebook group, and if you aren’t a crocheter, you can come back next week to enter to win the completed afghan! 

Number 8 – Gilded Watercolor Artwork

I love the way this little St. Patrick’s Day inspired artwork turned out, and it is super simple to recreate your own.

Number 7 – Watercolor Valentine’s Printables

These Valentine’s Day printables were some of my very favorites from this year. I just love that gem heart.

Number 6 – Textured Stripes Infinity Scarf Pattern

I really like the texture this scarf has. I think I need to make another!

Number 5 – Foundation Single Crochet Tutorial

The number five most popular post is a step-by-step photo tutorial for the foundation single crochet stitch – this is a great stitch to add to your crochet arsenal! 

Number 4 – Simple Slouch Hat Crochet Pattern

This is one of my simplest patterns, but it also happens to be one of my favorite hats – so win, win!

Number 3 – Free Watercolor Textures

Everyone loves freebies, right? These watercolor textures are free for personal use.

Number 2 – Nail-Themed Gift Tags for Christmas

Be sure to pin these for next year’s teacher/friend/neighbor/babysitter gifts!
And the number one, most popular Persia Lou post of last year:

Number 1 – Chunky Feather and Fan Afghan Pattern

If you are looking for a quick, chunky, pretty afghan pattern – this is the one! I gave this one to my mom, and I really do need to make another one of these for myself.
And that’s it! The top 10 posts of 2014 here at Persia Lou. Yay! I don’t know if you noticed, but there’s definitely a crochet and watercolor theme going on. 
Okay – so those are the top ten according to views, but I just had to add on just a couple more honorable mentions – some of MY favorite posts:
I’m still pretty crazy about the way this DIY Geometric Art turned out.
My son’s ice cream themed birthday party was kind of awesome. I get really happy just looking at these photos!
Finally, I have to add my craft room in there. I miss it!! My new craft room will be great too – I just have to finish it!
And that’s it – which is your favorite? Did I miss one that should have been included? Thanks to all of you for being here! Really, truly – thank you! Happy New Year to all – here’s to a great 2015!

    So. Alexis. You make seriously beautiful things. I can't even.. I saw like two of your posts and wanted to yell "Who are you woman??!". All your wonderful projects make me SO HAPPY. And over the top inspired. (Those two go together). I do a lot of crafting and painting and decorating and writing myself. But I don't even know where to begin from here! Wow. I just want you to know
