#CraftBlogClub Secret Santa 2018

Hello readers! As a crafter, I am happy to say that the holidays are OVER! This year I took on the challenge of crocheting blankets for some of my family members. As someone who used to hate making blankets, I'm surprised that I finished four blankets and had them ready well before Christmas day. (And … Continue reading #CraftBlogClub Secret Santa 2018

Mimikyu Crochet Hat: Free Pattern

#ThrowbackThursday: Meowth! That’s Right!

I'm currently dating someone who loves Pokemon. While I'm a fan of the series, it's obvious I'm way more casual about it. Anyway, since we moved in, I have thought it would be fun to turn our home into the Poke Center. It'll be a lot of work on my end, but it gives me a lot of creative freedom. I decided to make Meowth first since we do have a cat in the apartment and I was also thinking of one that I made back in 2010.

Mother’s Day Wreath: Free Pattern

You're never too old to give your mother something handmade, though at some point you both outgrow the loom band potholders.

Happy Monday, everyone! I'm still riding the high of a craftastic weekend. Finished up some canvas projects, started a blanket, and worked on some more charity items. I also binge watched A LOT of Criminal Minds on Netflix. Pinterest was a big help to me over the weekend as I looked for inspiration and patterns. As I … Continue reading Plant Something You Can’t Kill (free pattern)

Why You’ll Never Succeed at Crochet

"Oh wow! You're really fast at that!" "I wish I had your talent." "I could never make something like that." These are just a few of the comments I continuously hear when I crochet in public. And I usually reply with something positive, like, "Crocheting isn't as hard as it looks." "I wouldn't mind teaching … Continue reading Why You’ll Never Succeed at Crochet

Power to the Uterus

If you follow me on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), you may have noticed an abundance of pink last month. And not the usual hearts and flowers associated with Valentine's Day, but a little something more.....(re) productive. February is generally centered around couples in love, but it's also the month of V-Day. And no, I'm … Continue reading Power to the Uterus
