What's that? You thought I was on a yarn diet? Yeah, me too. *sigh* Vacation yarn doesn't count, right? ...Right? The first store I visited with my long-suffering husband was The Yarnery. I've had family in St. Paul for years and this was the first time I'd been there--shameful! It was a friendly store in… Continue reading Twin Cities Yarn Haul
You may have noticed I've been a bit quiet lately (whether you care is a separate issue ;)). It's summer, we're outside a lot, and most importantly, my toddler has dropped her nap. I miss that nap, guys. I miss it. Anyhoo, I'll still be posting content as time allows throughout the summer. The good… Continue reading Update and Hello!
It finally feels like spring here in Wisconsin! I mean, provided you ignore the mornings with 30 degree weather. Which I do. The only snow left is the massive parking lot mountain at the grocery store. Woo! I haven't had much of a chance to work on anything lately. My toddler was sick, and then… Continue reading Spring Has Sprung! Sort Of.
Guys, it's cold. Like, so cold. Stupid cold. It's currently 1 degree F, with a wind chill of -11. My project of the moment is a lace-weight silk and mohair scarf, but I can't stop thinking about afghans. Both in a "will someone please cover me up with one" way, as well as a "I… Continue reading Brr!*
In writing this, it's become clear to me that my goal for 2019 is to be more intentional...
I was fortunate enough to get several custom orders this month, and that's taken up a lot of my time. I mean the time not spent wrangling a two year old, which isn't a lot. I'm halfway done with my last custom crochet order, and I'm looking forward to working on some new projects. I… Continue reading Whew!
Step one: Finish creating my goals. Yup, it's November 7th (oops, now the 9th) and I haven't solidified my creative goals for the month. I have ruled a couple things out, though, which I guess is sort of progress. I'm not going to do NaNoWriMo. I'd still love to try this some year, but it's… Continue reading November Creative Goals

This month has been all about baby blankets! I'm working on an order for two custom baby afghans, as well as one that I'm designing for my Etsy shop. You can see pictures of that one in progress on my Instagram. I've mentioned this before, I think, but baby blankets are probably my favorite projects.… Continue reading What I’m Working On
Today's my birthday, and to celebrate, everything in my Etsy shop is 10% off through the end of October! Plus, free shipping! Also, fun fact: I am terrified of balloons popping. It's right up there with opening tubes of refrigerated biscuit dough and uncorking champagne (not that I really have to contend with champagne-based fear… Continue reading Birthday Sale!
