Finished!! Excited to gift this one! Just need to wash and make sure nothing unravels 😅

I love when people have babies and I can try new patterns. It's my first large graphgan project all done in single crochet.

Not for sale, it's a gift 😊

I've been debating how big to make this blanket... But I think it will end up being as big as I can make it before I run out of white yarn and that will just have to be big enough!

Wish me luck in this fun game of yarn chicken!!

Need to finish the blanket this month. But the book I'm reading is really good! But also... TV? And I wonder why I go to bed with a headache 😅

After a rather bad mishap with a baseboard heater (pic #2) resulting in frogging the entire blanket and starting over.... It's half done! (again)

Silver lining - I got to make it wider... And didn't burn down the house 🫣

Finally finished the earwarmer and scarf to match Caleb's toque and scarf. Just in time for warmer weather! 😅

Making good progress! It's not as wide as I planned but maybe I'll add a border 🤷‍♀️

My first attempt at a graphgan (tapestry?) baby blanket. So far so good, but when (if) I make another one I will start by googling how not to get tangled 😅

It's done!! This was the blanket that never ended. So many ends to tie in. Then I thought I was done my bees and forgot bees have wings 🤦‍♀️

Ready for a wash and then to be gifted and on to the next!

Finished a birthday present... A week late. But I am creating again and that feels good!! (and kind of painful, but mostly good - stupid car accident)...

Hat organizer by (and some completely unintentional color pooling, the first time this has happened for me and it's super cool. I can tell why people love it!!)

12/03/2024

Tomorrow me is going to regret staying up so late (and hurt so much) but the ends are all sewn in!!

Finally finished the matching toque to go with his keyhole scarf. And luckily before the end of toque season!!

Now I'm making myself a matching scarf!

While wandering the Dollarama the other day my toddler fell in love with this ball of yarn. So it came home with us and will become a scarf. And probably a toque and maybe mittens as well!

The worst part about this blanket is the ridiculous amount of ends that will have to be dealt with 😭

10/01/2024

Some assembly required 😅

I didn't expect to be invited to the baby shower so I have lost a month of time to work on piecing this hexagon bee blanket together!

For Halloween we are going as Little red riding hood and the big bad wolf 🐺. To save on a costume he'd wear once I made a wolf toque! Attempt #1 is the third picture and it was not a success 🥺 But the third try was a success! Working on a tail now and excited for Halloween 😁

Finally get to post this!! Happy Mothers day to my amazing mom and Caleb's Mama ❤️😊🥰

I have done a lot of crafting, crocheting being my main focus. But I used to write All. The. Time!

I've had some time to jump back in to a different part of my creative world. In 2008 I started writing a novel 📖 (ambitious word for what I started writing). I've poked at it a bit over the years, but am super excited about it now. It's set in a different world with fairies so I have created maps and magic. It is so much fun to write! And I find myself googling the most random things 😂 107 pages and more to come!

Made some silver sparkly hoops!

Can't decide if I want to post them on Etsy or save them all for myself!!

Dragonscale gloves ready for delivery!!

I needed a commissioned piece to get my butt back in gear and creating
