Wow it’s been a while since I’ve added any content! Life sure does keep me busy, but guess what? I’m back! The past few months have been a wild ride. My family and I moved from California to Texas for a few months where I did some Army training, and now I’m in Maryland at …
Getting Settled Into Our New Place
It isn’t easy moving a family of four (plus a dog) halfway across the country, especially when driving two cars in the southern part of the United States…in the summertime. It’s HOT down here y’all! Our family just left our home in California, and now we are finally settled into a cozy apartment in Texas. …
Moving Day is Approaching
Ah, moving day. It’s approaching rapidly. Tomorrow the movers are coming to haul all of our stuff away to a far away land, known by many as the state of Maryland. Unfortunately for my family, we won’t be going to Maryland just yet; we have to make a 4 month pitstop in Texas. The hardest …
Vlogging, Moving, and Crochet (of course)
Yikes! The past few weeks have been a wild wild ride! I FINALLY graduated from this language training (thank you, thank you), after having to be in an extended 8 week class in order to pass my final test. I have to say, the time just flew by! It was all worth it though, because …
Shop & Life Update
Wow, these last few weeks have been CRAZY! As you may have noticed, I haven’t been around much lately. Sometimes life hands you things that need your full attention, and that is exactly what happened to me. A dear loved one of mine got quite a scare, so I spent some time traveling and helping …
Finances and Fumbles
Priorities. Passion. Which matters more? That’s where I am. I’m stuck between priorities and passion, and it’s driving me crazy. I didn’t make a post last week because nothing happened last week. Simple as that. I had four days of testing in school, so I was busy with all of that. Not much crocheting happened, …
What I’ve Been Up To & Etsy Update
This weeks blog post is brought to you by the number 3! It has been quite the week here! I started 3 more projects, finished three more, took pictures of my resin items to add to my Etsy shop this week, and purchased another 3 patterns! Weee! I’ll jump right in by showing you what …
New Product Photography
One of the biggest issues crafters have when trying to sell their items is photography. If you don’t have an attractive shot of your item, people can’t imagine its potential. Product photography is something I’ve struggled with for years. YEARS. My photos would come out blurry, or blown out with light. My backgrounds would be …
A Yarn Problem
Y’all….yarn is taking over my house. This beautiful pile of fiber is taking over my living room. Believe me, I’m lucky that I’m able to have this corner. Just wait and see why… These lovely mounds of yarn are taking over my craft room. Now, I must clarify…these are just the …
My Favorite Stitch Right Now: The “V” Stitch
Ah, the “V” stitch. When mixed with a worsted weight yarn and J hook, you can have a project finished in no time. I just love how something as simple as a double crochet, used in a slightly different way, can produce such beauty. I mean, just LOOK at it! It gives the project a …
