I can barely sew a straight line. Oh sure, when I was younger and struggled to make ends meet, I did make myself a few skirts for work. And, I have to admit, they turned out well enough for me to wear and not be embarrassed. Sewing, however is my least favorite craft. So, discovering […]

DIY | Nautical Rope Vase Today’s Monday Mini Project is brought to you by Krista A. Jones. I like the flexibility offered by this project. Don’t happen to have a coffee can? How about a soup can, a tuna can, an Alpo can? Don’t have rope, how about pretty yarn, maybe some lace or ribbon. It […]

Spring is alllmmooosssttt here! It’s here officially of course, but with a bit of snow last weekend and more on tap for this weekend, she’s just been teasing us! I took advantage of the not so great weather and curled up on the couch with my crochet hook and voila–visions of baby hats danced in […]
I did a Google search for folks who craft 365 days a year and there are a ton of you! It sounds insane when you say it out loud, but I think I’m actually part of the “365 Club”, if you will. I don’t think there is a day that goes by that I’m not […]
