Handmade Halloween 2023

I’m Ken’s buddy. All his clothes fit me. I was immediately struck by Allan in the summer phenomenon that was Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.” I know Michael Cera’s performance and the fun awkwardness of the character played a part. I also acknowledge that Allan’s iconic shirt reminded me of a granny stitch, and that’s probably the […]

Dublin, Ireland

We started our adventure in Ireland’s capital city! We actually added an extra day on to our tour, just in case of travel issues and to have some free time in Dublin, if not. No travel issues, thankfully! Included in our tour was a visit to the National Museum of Decorative Arts (which had a […]

Beverage Goblin Coasters

One to hydrate, one to energize, and one just for fun. The Beverage Goblin needs three drinks to make her brain run! I never really considered myself a beverage goblin, but your girl definitely works on more than one beverage at a time. If I’m full beverage-goblining, I have my water, tea, and something from […]

Woobles Review

I work in social media marketing, so when I see ads on Facebook or Instagram, I tend not to get sucked in. If anything, seeing them helps me do my job. I am constantly looking at them from a strategic standpoint, so it takes a lot to get me to buy whatever the ad is […]

Sunny Daze Crossbody Bags

My friends Liz and Lauren got married last weekend! And about a month ago, one of our friends shared this super fun crossbody bag in our group chat. Since we met at KU, a lot of the group has had a sunflower element in their own weddings. Since the wedding took place in the Walt […]

Recycled Stitch Markers

In many of my travels, I have had a dream. Most hotels have RFID card keys these days, and many of these key cards look so fancy. They could just be plain white cards, but most of them have fun or sophisticated prints on them. What cool stitch markers they’d make, I usually say. I […]

AI Crochet

Like a lot of millennials, I think technology can be so cool. That’s not to say it can’t be problematic, and I definitely thank my smart speaker in case of a robot uprising. Seeing how far it’s come in the years I have been alive is still so impressive. The latest uproar I’ve seen is […]

Crochet in Wednesday

Crochet and Wednesday rhyme… English is weird…. I am super late to the party, but I just finished the Wednesday Netflix show. It was everything I wanted it to be, creepy AND kooky. A mystery that kept me guessing the whole time and finished everything with a bow on top. I realize now why everyone […]

Goodbye, 2022

I hope your year went as well as mine did. Certainly had a lot of love and growth, even if my resolutions didn’t go entirely to plan. I never did publish anything, and I never even got started on the knitting machine. However, I did take some of my winter break to begin setting up […]

Queue Challenge: October Update

I honestly can’t believe it’s almost Halloween… I’ve had to reassess my goals, but fortunately, the Queue Challenge keeps trucking along! My finished queue projects are now at… 20! Three finishes since my last update! That does include my spooky Halloween wreath. The earliest finish was a set of chicken bonnets, which is a sentence […]
