I'll be spotlighting shops and makers on my blog! I like finding new people to follow, and I hope you will, too. These won't be reviews, so don't expect hard-hitting investigative journalism. Just fun overviews of of things I enjoy.

Etsy Search – 5 of 3/4ths
This go-round, I used the search term "metal flower".
Yarn Diet – February 2019 Review
As I talked about last month, I've put myself on a yarn diet for 2019 in order to use up some of the excellent and tragically neglected yarn that's already in my stash. So, how'd I do in February? Great! I didn't buy any yarn or craft supplies of any kind (at least since Feb… Continue reading Yarn Diet – February 2019 Review
What I’m Working On – March 2, 2019
This week's project is baby beanies. I have several balls of very nice yarn (merino/silk blends, that kind of thing) that are too small to do much else with. They'd make a good striped scrap scarf project but I don't have enough yardage to complete one and I'm not interested in hoarding them for a… Continue reading What I’m Working On – March 2, 2019

Guys, it's cold. Like, so cold. Stupid cold. It's currently 1 degree F, with a wind chill of -11.

Both in a "will someone please cover me up with one" way, as well as a "I… Continue reading Brr!*
Etsy Search – 5 of 3/4ths

My kid has approximately 40 billion books. And, I have a small house. A lot of my books are stored,… Continue reading Pattern Book Chaos

Etsy Search – 5 of 3/4ths
Search results. We've likely all typed in a simple phrase and been overwhelmed by the response. That's par for the course on Google, but what about Etsy? Depending on what term you use to search, there's often an embarrassment of options to choose from. I don't know about you, but I don't have the time,… Continue reading Etsy Search – 5 of 3/4ths
