Hooks and Stitches

Ruth’s field trip to ! She’s a huge nerd, so she had a blast with and was excited to meet and David Tennant!

Ruth went on a field trip today at where we met… !!! Super cool to have met and spun a yarn with you! Also we have a new little friend and he is so cute and squishy!! 🥰💛🐙

I found this cutie while antique shopping and was floored by this price. 13.99$ ?! Absolutely not. She is worth far more than that. Handmade work is worth far more than that. Don’t sell yourself short.
Pricing is difficult but we have to stand by our work and our worth as artists.

Recycling a bunny to make a turtle and I likes putting this little bonnet on the shell. New project idea? Sure why not lol

Thank you for a wonderful market day!

TODAY IS THE DAY OF THE SOLAR ECLIPSE! Do you have your glasses? Do you have your coasters?
Pattern by .and.stitches (see pinned posts)

April 8, 2024 is the solar eclipse and the path of totality falls on the DFW area! I was so excited I made these coasters and I hope you enjoy them!
Feel free to leave comments and share your coasters!

Some random bobble plants. I’m sure I’ve seen someone else do this but I cannot remember the name. It’s super easy to do and fast to work up while you watch your favourite show!

I’m loving these potted plants!!!

With the 2024 North American Solar Eclipse on the way, I wanted to make something to commemorate! I’ll be working on publishing the pattern here on Instagram very soon! ☀️🌙

First day of spring and I’ve gotten into the craze of crocheted plants 😂 I wonder how many I can make this season?

These two went to their forever home this weekend!!! I’ve gone from a kid that loved watching Pokémon to an adult that lives making them! 🥰

Ahhh that new project smell…

National Crochet Month is underway and it started for me with this togepi! A commission for a new friend and her sister will be finished before weeks end.

This is perhaps the fastest commission I’ve ever done. It was requested Monday, Legs finished by Tuesday, Body finished Wednesday, Nothing done Thursday, Arms and shield done Friday. Saturday morning everything was assembled on the way to and then a few hours later, given to .

Sometimes I forget the power creativity has and the reminder comes in the swiftest ways.

Stay creative.

Happy Pokémon day!!
I’m a lifelong Pokémon fan and can never get enough of them!

Poll question!! Have you tried to catch ‘Em all?

The Money Man was a gem this weekend and every suit we saw was Fanchaztic!!!

This is Gear. He is my new precious dragon friend and I love him!! 🥰💛

A special gift for the Red Ranger !!

Do you like sour candy? I do and i love these freeze dried candies by

You can follow Lauri Paine at Facebook under Lauris Farmhouse Fudge!

and meeting the artist and vendors along the way!

Finally using a yarn I’ve had for nearly 4 years!

How long have you had that special yarn you haven’t used yet?

I jumped on the bandwagon and I love this yarn so far! My tension has always been a little tight so getting the colors to match up is a little difficult but it’s nothing too bad and I will be using more of this yarn.
Have you tried this yarn out? How did you like it?

January was a crazy month. Maybe February will provide more stable temperatures.

What is your favourite weather?
☀️🌈🌦️⛈️❄️🔥

How do you feel about cables? This month, I’ll be diving into them to gain a better understanding and might even try designing something with cables!

Also ignore the mistake please 😅💛

I had the opportunity to decorate a nerdy tree and I made a tree skirt for the first time and … I wanna make it a yearly tradition, or at least as often as I can since it was so much fun.

Looking for a quick, easy and attractive piece of decor to add this Christmas season?
You can download the Christmas Bobble Tree pattern from my ravelry for free! Check the linktree in the bio.

Field trip day and the weather and I’m getting some craft ideas!

So I decided to do a thing! I’ve been crocheting a total of 12 years, but I’ve already learned not only something new but also how I can explain it better to others.
