I’m a little obsessed with weaving right now, which is going to show over the next few days of challenges. I love weaving because it’s so simple. You can do it with any sorts of materials, as we are going to this week. The motions are simple, repetitive, meditative. It’s something we probably all tried […]
Meet Your Resolutions with Craftsy Classes
I’m kind of obsessed with buying Craftsy classes (and I’m an affiliate, by the way, so if you follow any of the links in this post and buy something I’ll get a little kickback). The only problem is, I usually don’t actually watch the Craftsy classes I buy, or I start them right away but […]
Scribble Time

Make Something You’ve Been Putting Off
We’re one week into the craft challenge, and I’m pretty proud of myself for doing all the things and posting so much. (If it’s too much for you to keep up with, I started a newsletter for this very purpose. The first one went out today!) Because so much of this week has been about […]
