Apparently it’s been a while since I’ve shared any of the crafting projects I have been working on. I found oodles of pictures – some back to Christmas time! In an earlier post, I talked about the socks my sister received before Christmas. I love making hats and I find they’re an easy gift to […]

Crafting #bizwins
I can not begin to tell you how much I have learned in the last 10 months about business in general, craft businesses, marketing and promotion! Sometimes my head is swimming with all that I’ve learned – and how much I realize I still could learn. One of my business guru “idols” is Tara Swiger. […]
WIP-frenzy
I’ve had cast-on-itis lately. I keep starting projects and not finishing many. I also haven’t posted much here as I tend to only post my Works In Progress (WIPs) on Instagram and not here. Part of my crazy beginnings have been due to changes in my schedule. This is how I currently have my whole […]
Potato Lake 2016
I’m exhausted. We just returned from a 4-day camping trip. I find it hard to believe that we used to do this for up to 9 days at a time! No more – 4 is my absolute max. That’s not to say we didn’t have fun, because we did. I mean, how can you not enjoy […]
FO Friday – designing up a storm
I haven’t posted a Finished Object Friday in quite a while and I didn’t want you to be alarmed. I still have hook or pair of needles in my hands practically every single day. I’ve also been working on some other non-fiber projects. I signed up for a swap in April. I swore I wasn’t […]
FO Friday – Peacock bag, cards and WIPs
I’ve been reluctant to show one of my Designers Challenge projects. It’s actually from a couple months ago, and I suppose it’s worth showing my failures as well as my successes. The challenge for July / August was to make a bag in either knit or crochet, using mitered squares and it needed to be […]
FO Friday: The week for WIPs
Last night was the first official NFL game of the 2015 season. Which means the Pigskin Party over on the Down Cellar Studio Podcast group on Ravelry also kicked off. The Pigskin Party is a unique knit/crochet-along that runs all fall and winter and ends when the Super Bowl is played in February 2016. I […]
FO Friday – Checkerboard Textures Throw
Remember last year when I suddenly got the urge to work on not one, not two, but THREE different afghans at the same time? Yep, crazy. Well, I finally finished one of them. I started off making three of each of the different squares for the bi-weekly patterns. It seemed fun back then. This […]
FO Friday – quick projects
Before I get into what I finished, have you seen these guys before? It’s been over a month since Arne & Carlos came to my favorite local yarn shop – yarnology all the way from Norway! I wasn’t able to attend the class they hosted but I did make it to the book signing. I […]
WIP Friday – secret projects
I have nothing finished this week. It seems like I’ve been hard at work. I’ve been pushing hard to get Little Chick’s “Anna” cape finished. Miles and miles of stockinette mean that I can only work on it for about 30 minutes at a time before I start to go stir-crazy. I’m currently working on the […]
