Project Packing: Disney Edition

Here soon, I’m going to head back to my happy place: Walt Disney World. That’s right, I am that childless millennial that’s out here to ruin your Disney vacation (this is a joke, for those who didn’t already know!). I’m so excited, ’cause I haven’t been back in a long time and so much has […]

WIP Challenge: October Update

This isn’t a huge update, but I know that shocks no one. While I haven’t been finishing a lot of projects lately, I’m not starting a lot of new ones, either. Good and bad, so I’ll take it. Current WIP Count: 49. No change from my last update. Queue Projects: 10, still no change here. Squirrel Projects: 13, […]

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 […]

The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest

I was only out one day last weekend, but it was a lot. On Sunday: A fairy with black paint all over their hands and arms came in and started to touch the yarn… A couple of teenagers started spinning the wheel in-between demos. My middle school voice came out: “Don’t touch the spinning wheel, […]

Spin Together 2021

Spin Together was back in it’s full force this year! Which means I was able to spin on my home team: the Yarn Barn Twisters. My goal is almost always to spin a mile of yarn, and I think I’ve achieved that goal once. My moral victory goal is to spin every day of the […]

WIP Challenge: September Update

Bet you thought I was done with this! Emotionally, I kind of am, but dang it, I said a year and I’m seeing it through, for better or worse. It helps that I’m really tackling my WIP spreadsheet; way less daunting when Google counts for me! Current WIP Count: 49. So, I’m up three from our […]

Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: Fifth Weekend

I never thought I’d say this, but I am ready to be done at the Renaissance Festival. Sure, I am trying to enjoy my last few days out there, because it is enjoyable! This last weekend was just full of really belligerent people (including one very nasty cop), and I know a lot of it […]

The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: Fourth Weekend

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled block of Renaissance Festival Madness™. I need to talk about my spinning this week. You may recall a breed study I wanted to partake in over the summer, and then life got the better of me. Well, no time like the present. I grabbed the Shetland and went out […]

KC Yarn Crawl

I didn’t win anything, but it’s about the yarn purchases I made along the way! If you are unfamiliar with the KC Yarn Crawl, it involved four local shops all bringing out their best exclusive colorways, fibers, and designs. Of course, I had to participate in some capacity, but I was unsure at first with […]

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, […]
