To celebrate the holiday weekend (maybe I’ll actually make it a 3-dayer myself!) I’ve put all of the crocheted items in my etsy shop on SALE. To sweeten the pot, if you buy between now and July 10th (midnight mountain time, let’s say), you will be entered in a drawing to win a signed copy [...]

This week I’ve been crocheting my fingers to the bone working on a new hat pattern. I love making hats, I really do, and this might be my favorite one yet. Why it’s never occurred to me to write (and sell) the pattern and to make multiples from the same pattern before now…well, I don’t [...]

I just added this sweet summer clutch pattern, the Picnic Purse, to my Ravelry Store and Etsy Shop.

PDF Pattern, $5.50

In case you couldn’t tell, this design was inspired by summer picnics. One of the things I loved about living in NY was going to central park and lazing about with friends for a potluck picnic! [...]

I’ve been making and hoarding these little flowers, squares and circles, and this weekend I finished weaving in all of the ends and attaching the embellishments.

They’re awaiting transformation– some will be earrings, some hair pins, and some necklaces. I’m hoping to actually put them in my etsy store instead of dropping them off locally since [...]

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 [...]

I went ahead and activated my etsy listings so if you’re awake, you can start shopping now! Remember, you’ll get free shipping within the US from now until Monday, December 1st at midnight mountain time (2 am eastern). There’s lots of cute stuff for everyone on your list– or maybe you want to nudge someone to shop [...]

Yesterday I felted some rocks just for the heck of it. I was felting something else, something to be revealed later, and I already had all the materials so I knew I had to try it when I saw this tutorial. And a good tutorial it was! I had a couple of problems, mainly smacking [...]

I know it’s a little early to mention the f-word. You know, fall. But it is on its way and I’ve whipped up some very special hats for the season, now available in my etsy shop. These are not my typical chunky fast hats, these are lighter versions that are perfect for crisp temperatures (made [...]

It’s snowing outside. A lot. GAH. Can’t a girl catch a break? I don’t actually need to go anywhere, but I thougtht maybe I’d go to the coffeeshop and type instead of sitting at home. Oh well.
I started a little quilt this weekend. I’m not sure who it’s for or how big it will be [...]

Yay, my luggage came home at 7:30 this morning, with all the contents safe and sound. 
Once I get a chance to take some good photos, I’ll be adding three more cake hats to my etsy shop. These three are special because they flew to Edmonton (Canada) and back just to be with you. Fun. I [...]
