I’m a knitter and yarn crafter, so I end up with a lot of little bits of yarn. Not just odd balls left over from projects, though I have a lot of those, too. I’m talking about the little bits that are left when you weave in ends on a project, or when you trim […]
A Quick Dress for Valentine’s, or Any Time
It occurred to me the other day that the girl didn’t really have anything special to wear for Valentine’s Day. Her class is having a party, of course, and I thought it would be fun to make her a dress or something. I worried that maybe I didn’t have anything in my stash that said […]

My #yearofmaking So Far
I’ve told you about my little word for the year, but I also decided to take on another challenge for 2015: a year of making. Like it sounds, year of making just means that I commit to making something, anything, every day this year, as well as documenting what I’m doing on Instagram. This idea […]
