Like many crochet enthusiasts, I have quite the collection of patterns both paid and free. I keep them all stored in binders with plastic sheet protectors and love to just flip the pages and decide which one I will try next. Many of the patterns I end up buying are for commission work from friends …
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I’ve had a lot of things weighing on my heart lately, mostly in regard to my career and life passions. I have no doubt in my mind that all of this stemmed from the fact that I’m almost 30 (why me??). It’s no secret that I have a passion for …
Ahh! I’m so excited, because today I completely sold out of my caterpillars! I started making them as a way to use up some of my scrap yarn, and they turned out to be a hit! It’s crazy, because I don’t put a lot of time into my Etsy shop. Don’t get me wrong, I …
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!

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, …
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 …

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 …
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 …
