During the last few weeks I’ve been slowly working on a few new patterns. They aren’t my usual baby blanket patterns. They are crochet animal patterns. I’ve been making knitted and crochet animals for a few years now and a while ago I realized that I can easily create my own. I’ve made some monsters for my Etsy shop so …
Socks…I Think I Love You
It’s taken me a while but I finally got around to knitting myself a pair of socks. And I think I love knitting socks. Well I have yet to come across any knitting that I don’t like. I’m trying to think of a knit project I didn’t like and I’m coming up empty. Regardless, sock knitting is awesome. I don’t …
Crochet Animals Available
The last few weeks have been hectic. I somehow got it into my mind that I should be selling some crochet animals. And selling their patterns (but more on that in another post). I’ve crocheted a handful of animals before and I understand the basics of shaping, so why wouldn’t I create a whole range of animals (and their patterns) …
James at 8 Months Old
These last 8 months have flown by. In the moment, it felt like it would never pass. I thought the newborn stage was never ending. When you’re in the middle of it, it sure feels never ending. But now at 8 months I can safely say that I miss that newborn stage. At the time all I wanted was a …
5 Things Knitter’s (and Crocheter’s) are Tired of Hearing
If you’re a knitter or crocheter it’s a safe bet that you’ve heard all of these at some point or another. At first, it’s not so bad. People are curious or interested.

7 Months Old
It’s been 7 months since James came into our lives and turned everything upside down (I should say right side up). Now that he’s 7 months old he’s more active and mobile and always wants to be on the go, life has gotten quite hectic. A good hectic. Sure there are days where I’m sure I’ve given birth to the …
Update on 2016 Goals
It’s already April and I’ve made slow, very slow progress on my 2016 Goals. I’ve been debating modifying my goals as I’m sort of changing my mind about some of the items to make. But I’ll discuss more when talking about each of my goals. So here we go. 2016 Goals 1. Create 6 new blanket patterns to add to …
WIP Wednesdays
I skipped last weeks WIP Wednesdays, not because I didn’t have any projects on the go, but because I was having troubles with my computer. Something with an update that wasn’t letting windows log in or something along those lines (tech issues are my husbands department :)). Actually I’ve skipped a few WIP Wednesdays because I hadn’t started new projects, …
Easter Craft #2: Wood Canvas Art
Next up for Easter Crafts is a Wood Canvas Art. I’m not too fond of the name but my husband and I have been having a hard time trying to describe this craft. Regardless of our naming issues, it’s still super easy to make and such a cute craft when finished. Wood Canvas Art Supplies: Canvas (3 of them 5×7) …
Easter Craft #1: Footprint Easter Bunny
It’s almost Easter and that means it’s time for some Easter Crafts. And this year I get to incorporate baby (and kid) crafts into the mix because I have a baby to use. So first up I made a Footprint Easter Bunny and as you probably guessed I used James’ footprint. This could really work for any baby or child …
