The Iron Craft Challenge for this week was to craft something with or inspired by Peeps. I already knit a Peep Rabbit this year, and I was planning to knit a chick. I had the yarn, and I took it with me to BlissDom and … didn’t knit a stitch. Surprise, surprise. So I decided […]
Building My Crafty Stash at Target
Yesterday there was a threat of snow and ice, and I needed to get a birthday present for a girl at the Bit’s school, so I headed out to Target after dropoff. I knew I could get some essentials (bottled water and candles, in case the power went out) and a fun gift (some awesome […]
