Jumpseat Therapy Kits

I work in marketing. It’s not super often I see one ad and buy something immediately, but that is what happened when I saw these Jumpseat Therapy kits. What got me so quick on these was the company’s origin story. It’s a fairly new company started by a former flight attendant who really struggled with […]

Fiber Arts in New Orleans

In addition to a lovely fiber shop, I found a variety of cool fiber arts things on my trip to New Orleans! When I did my Disney College Program, I had a fabulous roommate: Chelsey. She grew up near New Orleans, and found her way back after our program. She’s currently working at the fabulous […]

IKEA Tromma Clock

Yarn Social made me do it… Which stands to reason that some peer pressure can be a good thing! This was the first place I saw the Tromma clock from one of my all-time favorite places: IKEA (your girl loves meatballs and clever storage!). This $3 ($3!! I love IKEA) clock has holes punched in […]

Zelda Belt Bag

I’m going to be honest: I have not crafted much recently. There’s a few reasons for this, but one is the recent release of the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game! I haven’t been so excited for a game since I was a teenager, which also means it’s eating the majority of my […]

On The Mend: Visable Mending

I said this would be the year of apparel sewing, and I’m not wrong yet! So far, it’s just been working on apparel that is already made… but they were a handful of perfect opportunities to try visible mending. I’m thrilled with the results. First up was a pair of boot socks my mom made […]

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 […]

Year of Stitch: September update

Okay. The title is a bit misleading. Year of Stitch is on sampler #7. I am not halfway through samplers #4 and #5. However, I had a big reason to improve my embroidery skills this year. If you’ve been reading along, you know that two of my very good friends got married last weekend. This […]

Year of Stitch: June Update

This post is very late. I’ve had a rough go of it the past couple of weeks, but I’m doing better now and am ready to give you a little update on my Year of Stitch progress. The tablecloth was my ultimate undoing, I think. It’s a super cool project, but not necessarily a quick […]

Year of Stitch: April Update

This post is a bit belated, but for good reason! I’ve been hard at work, and now there is more I can share. Sampler #3 is done! I’m not as happy with it as I am the other samplers. I probably should have stuck with one color for the bird, but I wanted it to […]

Year of Stitch: March Update

Year of Stitch sampler #2 is all done! I did struggle with these stitches more than the first sampler. That’s good, though. It means I’m learning new things! Rather than deal with the stress I endured putting a back on the first sampler, I decided to try something new. I left the piece in the […]
