YOP 2023: 1/52
Ahhh- smell that FRESH NEW YEAR smell. I have some new YOP goals to keep me motivated to create. Some are rollover goals, like use 100 balls of yarn and use enough craft materials to keep everything in one spot. Some are NEW: Cricut projects!! One is just a checklist to release a HUGE backlog…

Good-bye 2022
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Wellllllll. 2022 was the worst and I’m glad to see it go. The latter half was a giant struggle and the year felt like non-stop loss punctuated with disappointment. I’m looking forward to the new calendar year, and a recommitment to myself and my projects.…

Holding Patterns
Literally and figuratively. I’m sitting on a small pile of patterns. STILL. Sorry. AND I’m designing NEW stuff. Because why finish something you’ve been working on for 6 months when you can start something NEW AND EXCITING. Yes. I have a TON of fun stuff coming down the pipeline- straightforward with a twist shapes. I’m…

Shoddy Seamstress Adventures: FrankenFabric
And finished pouches. My sewing machine got a WORKOUT today! I’ve been piecing together FrankenFabrics for a while now. For the longest, I was just piecing pieces, but was inspired by my SUPER talented friend over at Medusa Raptor to use decorative top stitching. It really leveled up my work. Additionally. I’ve made SO MANY…

Plush Bias
Hi. Welcome back. I spent a lot of time spinning my wheels on patterns that have YET to be released. So I came up with this palette cleanser. No charts. No difficult techniques. Just a quick knit, with an easy to memorize pattern, decedent bulky yarn, and speedy big needles. Not everything needs to be…

A Lost Month.
That cliché that life comes at you quick? Applicable. Since July, lots of things beyond my control have been happening. Its been difficult. For me and others associated with these events. I don’t want to elaborate. I don’t want to talk about it. I’m trying to radically accept the things that no one can change.…

Me. And My Big Ideas.
When I get an idea in my head. I CANNOT shake it. I won’t say I OBSESS about it, but I do plan on how to bring it to reality. I’ll research and plan and price my vision. This time, I’ve got my sights set on my first floor powder room. When we moved in,…
