I’ll admit that this post’s title is less than what my creative-quirky writing side hoped, but I’m writing this mostly for myself. It’s for the next time that I think, “how did I make that one hat that actually fit me?” Well, if you have a slightly-smaller-than-average-female-sized-head (roughly 21.5 inch…
My friend Emily gave me this really fun super bulky yarn, so I got to playing with it to try and make something cool. At first, I had a TOTAL FAIL. I gathered all the random bulky and super bulky yarns I had, and made the ugliest bag I’ve…
The title of this post doesn’t have a spelling error – well, I guess this time it’s an intentional error at least. I don’t have time to add silly little letters to words so that I can fully be understood, or un-auto-correct my words so that I am actually making sense.…
I have a longtime fear to share with you, dear reader. Let’s disregard the usuals: trypanophobia (I’ve been known to drop to the floor with a needle still in my arm), arachnophobia (doesn’t everyone have this?), and of course the fear of falling through metal grates (if you do not…

Have you ever thought back to when a friendship began? Or how your life has changed over the years and yet there are people in your life that have grown with you, shaped you, and supported you? I have some wonderful women in my life that have done just that,…
I like to crochet. Actually, I LOVE to crochet. I kind of go through this awful, cranky withdrawal when it’s been too long between sessions of sliding yarn through my fingers. With days filled with the Good Chaos of two little munchkins, it has been a therapy of sorts to…
This past winter I did a lot of crocheting – fun projects, gifts for cool people, and experimented with a lot of yarn. And what do I have to show for it? Well, a lot of unique projects and a whole mess of scribbly notes that even I have trouble…
