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 […]

Spooky Halloween Wreath

Y’all. I am thrilled. Long time readers know Halloween is my favorite holiday (which I find mildly ironic for a person with a GAD. That’s my secret, Cap. I’m always scared). The idea for a seasonal wreath resolution actually started with my idea for this wreath, and I think it turned out even better than […]

Felted Witch Hat

“Your wretched little lives have all been cursed, ’cause of all the witches working, I’m the worst.” Winifred Sanderson My love of Halloween is no secret (Heck, I picked a spider to represent my brand), but I’m always trying to mix it with my love of all things fiber arts. Let me take you a […]

Come Out to Socialize

It’s been a rough couple of weeks, friends. We’re still in the middle of a Pandemie. The school year is starting, so work is picking up. I’m also working at the Ren Fest, which is a joy, but something else I have to make sure I’m able to do. On top of all of this, […]

However, one Halloween-loving bubble friend and I decided that even if we were just sitting on a couch, we were still dressing up this year. We had to […]

Happy Halloween!

Halloween is one of my all time favorite holidays. And sure, now I hand out the candy instead of ask for it, but I love the movies, the treats, and most of all, the costumes! Of course, fiber artists are usually pressed into service to create the perfect costume. I do have one handmade costume […]

Craft Days and Pumpkin Nights

It was time, once again, for the annual trek to Branson, Missouri for the Silver Dollar City Harvest Craft Festival. They switched it up a bit this year, though, and we’ll get to that later. There were still less fiber artists than I would like, but more than last year! Fellow Kansan Von Rhodes of […]

Christmas is Coming…

I hear you. “What do you mean Christmas is coming? It’s not even October yet.” People who hand-make their gifts understand though. I’m already late. It always starts with great intentions: buy the yarn and at least start them in August, work on them here and there, and be done around early December so you […]
