Something that I have had to come to grips with over the years is that there is a part of me that is contrary and rebellious. It’s a quiet rebelliousness, one that generally goes unnoticed, but there is a point where I can recognize it for what it is. In school it followed me through […]
First Friday Fiction: Assessment Day
This is another short story I wrote, only about 450 words so it should be a quick read. The picture above is a rough idea of what a groof would look like, but I’m not terribly good at drawing animals. Hopefully the general idea comes across well. I hope you all enjoy this short little […]
What to Choose for Color
Similar to the last post this is a bit more introspective rather than focussed on a specific craft. I want to talk about colors, specifically favorite colors and how they play into crafting. Over the years I’ve had plenty of different favorite colors. When I was younger it was sky blue, then cherry red, grey […]
A Ramble on Expectations
I have to confess that I thought today was the first Friday of February, not the last Friday of January. As such I had to scramble to make this post in two days. With nothing made / no crafts in progress that I hadn’t already talked about, this post is looking at personal crafting expectations. […]
Digging up Dinos
I touched on this just briefly in my “Amigurumi Army“ Post, but I wanted to take another post to wax poetic a little bit more, specifically on amigurumi dinosaurs. Growing up I loved dinosaurs. My favorite stuffed animal was a little brown triceratops. The Land Before Time movies were fan favorites (at least the older […]
An Oldie but a Goodie
As fun as it is to try something new and exciting, sometimes there are old recipes that you just have to go back to when you’re looking for some comfort food. Some of them are true oldies, recipes you’ve gotten from your grandparents or great grandparents. Some are recipes you found years ago and have […]
Mid-Month Middle Earth 4
I’ve been working on the top left corner for the project and I’m slowly but surely making some progress. I decided to print out the two pages I’m working on rather than work from the PDF off my laptop (I didn’t want to print the PDF because it is like, 80 pages long, that’s way […]
Baby Blanket: Cherry Square
Because I have no chill, and I have the yarn, I have decided to work on another baby blanket. You will probably recognize this yarn from before when I was making the tulip lace baby blanket last year. I had so much yarn left over from that one I decided to try and make another […]
On a Wing and a Prayer (Shawl)
I got a book of prayer shawls called “Knit prayer Shawls, 15 wraps to share” shortly after I graduated from college in 2017. I have slowly been working my way through it making different patterns and I decided to make the prayer shawl “Sunny Days Ahead” last year. Despite getting the yarn for it I […]
Cute and Casual Cables
Perhaps a little counter intuitively, at the start of the new year I’m looking way back into my past to talk about something I did back in High school. Most of the memories of those days are getting fuzzier the more I move away from them – except for those really awkward memories we all […]
