I know, I’ve been here and gone and here and gone and it’s been a while since I was here again. Honestly, I have really struggled with deciding what I wanted this page to be, where I wanted it to go, and what my goals were for it. I would regularly do this and then […]

I’m BACCCCKKKKKK….
Wait- Isn’t there a scary movie that says something like that??? Anyway, You guys, I AM BACK! Do you know what is THE WORST? A craft funk. You know what is even worse than a standard craft funk? A craft funk at a time when you are trying to run a craft website. Especially when […]
Bad News- Good News
I’ve got some bad news. (Whomp whomp waaaaaa) nothing terrible, but I made this video to explain and to try to make it up to you. If you’d rather read than watch: I had some sickness and life stuff and the first issue won’t be out at the date I originally announced. I’d just rather […]
New Year, New Workbasket
I’m not a New Year’s Resolution kind of person. I am more of a constant thought and self-improvement, change as soon as you need it type of person. This year a few changes that I need just happen to coincide with winter break, then with the holiday happenings are easier to implement in the New […]
It’s Clown Hair!
Really, what else can you even call that??? The best part is that it didn’t get dyed in that stripe pattern, that happened as I rinsed it. It was dyed in clusters of color. I’ve had my dye pot going constantly for the last few weeks. I pretty much start a batch in the evening, […]
Lately…
I’m not sure if I mentioned over the summer what our school year would be like. In June we (my son and I) attended an open house for a new homeschool center. It was a dream come true, the same idea I have been wanting to build for years. I jumped on board the same […]

It’s Okay to be Type-B! Perfection isn’t real and messy is okay
If you read my post yesterday maybe it resonated with you, but maybe not because you need to relax, maybe you’re like me and are probably TOO relaxed. Maybe you were saying “Alicia, I’m TOO Relaxed- Just Like You!” Well, that is the other part of what I try to do here! Photo by chaithanya krishnan on Unsplash […]
If I’m not Type-A, Is There a Type-B?? aka Just Relax
I know the “Type A” idea, I’m not it, I don’t entirely understand it, but I know it. If you’re not Type A, are you Type B? Is the opposite Type Z?? Featured Photo is by Daniel Spase on Unsplash One thing I’m hoping to do with this website is to rub off a little of my extreme […]
Finding Time in the Woodchips- Fitting a Hobby into a Busy Life
I’m pretty sure that I’ve mentioned (probably many times) that I grew up in a crafty family, or at least surrounded by crafty females. I remember at a young age reading a story in a craft magazine that has really stuck with me. Keeping in mind that I may not have even been double digits […]
Savage Mill- Part 2- Antiques !
I told you yesterday all the details about the Yarn Party, but today let me tell you about the other fun I had at Savage Mill!! Besides the Great Room where the Yarn Party was, Savage Mill has multiple other fun stores. They are almost all a more artsy style. One gift store was a […]
Goals, Time Management, and Surprising Kids
You guys, I am SO bad at time management and getting stuff done. I have serious time management problems. I can easily spend time making lists, planning, creating a system, but when it comes time to implement it sits. I have so many old planners that I find and throw out because a single page […]
About Me- AND This Site
Hey Guys!! (Not literally, though hello to any guys reading this as well!!!) I realized last night that in reality, you don’t know me. Not just in a “this is only a website, and we’ve never met in person” kind of way, but in the fact that I am holding myself back from you. I […]
It’s February, but there is no new issue…
If you’ve been a reader for awhile you may be waiting to hear about February’s issue, but there isn’t one. I’ve decided to make a change starting this month. No More Monthly Issues! I will no longer be picking a single issue every month to work through. That was the idea what I started the blog, […]
