I’m not going to lie, things have been quite stressful around these parts. But at least there is this little guy to keep us all smiling:

He’s wearing the Fleece Baby Wrap from Stitch Magazine (I sized up the 9 months to a 12 months size, but the 9 months probably would have fit better. Oh [...]

Y’all, it is cold here. So, so cold. Cold in the way that if I went outside and sat there for a while, my tissue might actually freeze. So I’ve been a bit cooped up in the house, and going extra crazy in that pre-holiday way. Fun times. I did get around to making this [...]

Sorry for all of the quietude here.. just trying to wrap things up (well, not literally, thanks TSA) before we leave for Texas next week. And, in my defense, it’s been 20 below for the past few days. Not inspring. Just punch-you-in-the-face cold!  But here’s a really simple crocheted ornament tutorial I posted at CraftStylish–  [...]

Just a little reminder that midnight tonight is the latest that you can order from my fundraising etsy shop. 5 amazing (and amazingly priced!) Knit.1/Vogue Knitting/Knit Simple sweaters remain.  And these adorably cute elf hats have been price slashed to $12–c’mon, I really want someone to put these on their cute babies! And remember, there’s still free [...]

It’s never good to wake up to this:

Especially when that’s just the snow that happened to blow into the stairwell. And technically that pic was taken 2 hours after Paul had already shoveled it once.
Since it’s literally ZERO degrees outside, I’ve cut the cost of shipping to ZERO as well- for everything in the shop. Good [...]

We now interrupt this blog for extreme generosity. My former (and sometimes still) employers at Soho Publishing have been so very nice and have donated seven-7-seven sweaters seen on the pages of Knit.1, Vogue Knitting and Knit Simple magazines for me to list in the Hope For Jasenn shop. These sweaters are priced so reasonably that [...]

It’s about time for another procrastinatory (to me)  blatant self promotional post. I’ve got a few projects out in  books and magazines available now, and I wanted share. First off are some lovely holiday items in the latest issue of Sew Simple, which is on newsstands now. I really had fun making these adorable house ornaments, [...]

#2! That’s Debra Cooper. Debra, I’m sending you an email to get your address so the Sukie Iron Ons can be sent your way. And for those of you who didn’t win, the Chronicle Books sale has been extended through Wednesday (enter code: FRIENDS at checkout for 35 percent off and free shipping!), so you [...]

What kind of ornaments are you making this year? I always like to do at least one set per year, and I usually participate in a swap.

I’ve participated in various ornament swaps over the years, with varying results. I wanted to dig in and really take the time to make some nice ornaments this year. [...]

I opened up my mailbox last week to find this really cool new product from Chronicle Books– it’s a pad of iron on transfers designed by Sukie. The pad contains all sorts of fun designs (some of which I will show you below)– animals, letters, buildings, trees, flowers, butterflies, and more. Of course I had [...]
