New! Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern and More ☀️

Hei Reader, I'm staring down the last week of school before the kids are officially on summer break. You know what that means, right? More daylight, fewer schedules, and a bit more breathing room for our crafty endeavors. I've been eagerly waiting for this "me time" when I can set aside the hustle of early-morning school dropoff and relax with some personal crafting. Because, let's be real, summer is the perfect season for some just-for-me crochet projects. Now, let's get down to this week's...

Well, it’s been seven days, and guess...

Hello Reader! I trust this newsletter finds you full of inspiration, with a crochet hook in one hand and a glass of iced tea in the other.

Last weekend, my husband and I packed our bags and embarked on a whirlwind adventure to celebrate our anniversary. Destination? Nashville! And the cherry on top? We were going to see the one and only Taylor Swift in concert. (Yes, feel free to swoon!) In the midst of...

Hi Reader, Now that it's almost May (can you believe it?), I've been daydreaming about sunshine, warmer temperatures, and of course, planning some summer projects. I was sipping an iced coffee and rummaging through my yarn stash this morning, wondering what to knit or crochet during these warm weather months. I mean, seriously, how many of us are still cranking out scarves and mittens in May? I'm curious - can you still find the motivation to work on cold-weather projects in the heat, or do...

Hi Reader, Serious question - how is it August already? For some of us, that means back-to-school season: new classes, new teachers and new school supplies (my favorite!) This year, I'm using my Cricut to customize my kid's school gear, just to make it a little more fun. Do you have a Cricut? My Cricut machines are some of the most powerful tools in my craft toolkit. I use them all the time to make a wide variety of crafts, including custom t-shirts, greeting cards, stickers, and so much...
