Once I decided to crochet some stars for a garland, I started seeing stars everywhere. Isn’t it funny how that happens? My favorites are these totally adorable granny stars.

I’ve ditched my Chromium Blanket stars for these. They work up a lot faster and are so much fun! If you crochet, [...]

In my creative space today is an unfinished tutorial. I was hoping to have it posted this week. (Sorry, Amy!)

If you follow me on Facebook, you know that was feeling a bit like a mending rock star last week when I figured out how easy it is to add [...]

My friend Cathy loves bags, loves fabric and loves cats. When she saw my faux leather bag, she wanted the same thing, only bigger and with two handles. She’s going to use this to store and transport her mini swift and yarn winder. (Yep, she loves knitting, too!)

finished: granny square scarf

By On November 17, 2009 · 2 Comments

Yay for pictures! I was so excited that the sun was out today, as we were expecting more rain. It’s still kind of chilly — perfect scarf weather.

Some squares were a little smaller than others. I’m not sure if it was daily life that messed with my tension [...]

It’s one of those cold, autumn days where it feels like snow, but all you get is rain. It’s not a very good day to be taking crafty pictures for the blog, but it’s perfect for cuddling with my daughter and reading lots of books. Our favorite one right now is The Apple Pie [...]

I’m not sure what’s cuter: watching her write the word Dad or noticing afterward that she turned it into a smiley face.

disclaimer: I helped with the letters S and N.

reuse-or-recycle package labels

Usually I just handwrite this message on my packages, but sometimes I forget when I’m rushing to get things in the mail. Now I have labels! I printed them on the back of already used paper and just slip them under the packing tape. I suppose you could print stickers, but that’s [...]

I think this picture of my creative space might be a little misleading. I’m not really in the Christmas spirit yet. November is my favorite month and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It’s just that I have finished up a lot of the projects on my needles and found myself with nothing [...]

Remember this scarf? It’s finally finished! I gave it to my mom for her birthday and she loves it. It’s my first lace project and I’m very pleased with it.

I wanted to knit a lace scarf for my mom, but she can’t wear wool. It took awhile [...]

Actually, I have this little “niece” in Florida. She just turned eight and I know she used to like Charlie and Lola when she was younger. We’ve just recently discovered Charlie and Lola. I checked out some paperbacks from the library, but my daughter’s favorite is this pop-up book from her “Aunt Lisa.”
