It turns out, I have some wild and indecisive hair. Is it curly? Is it straight? Naaaaaaah, it’s usually some kind of modulation between the two, although it never modulates in the direct in which I want it to go. I regularly toss a coin to use a flat iron…
In about two months, I will transform into a Crazed Yarn Lady, spitting yarn scraps from my mouth, living on minimal sleep, and drinking more cups of coffee than blinking throughout the day. Just kidding – I’m already that lady! But seriously. Come October and November, I will become a Craft Sale Prepping…
Want to know what gets me super pumped? Messages that start with, “Do you think you could make me a…” or, “My daughter would love to have a…” The fun part about being a crochet and general yarn addict is being able to put that obsession to good use and…

Here’s the deal. There aren’t many days that I feel content with my body, or well put together, or get anywhere near the feeling of being “lovely”. My usual look is wedging clothes on that kind of fit my little torpedo belly, showering is definitely optional, and I generally have…

Among the many pattern notes floating around my house, I have my go-to hats to make for my kids and friend’s kids. Either leave the earflaps where they are for an aviator style hat, or pop some braids on the ends of those ears for fun added color. You can…

Well, summer is long gone and we are soaking up the goods of fall. I’m still way behind on my Summer of Patterns Series (maybe I should just call it the Four Seasons of Patterns Series, ha!), but I’m still plugging away at the patterns I have scratched out in…

Don’t get me wrong – I love me some red, white, and blue, but sometimes you gotta appreciate your own country’s history (and who might have influenced them). I’ve talked about our love of The UK’s Top Gear, so it should come as no surprise that I like a lot…

A while back, I mentioned that I have crafting urges from time to time, and am especially a fan of yarn and yarn related projects. Instead of typing tons of words to tell you all about why I love making things, I thought I’d just share some photos of some of…
