Several weeks ago I got the idea of making an advent calendar. I wanted to make mini mittens and hang them on a line. I decided not to crochet them though because I wanted my son to help, so I opted to use felt. Cut to shape, sew, hang. I was going to share the […]

I am so behind on this page and my projects for this page. It’s awful. I promise you I’m around, I’m alive, and I’m working. For the last week? Two weeks? Three weeks? I don’t even know anymore, I have not been to sleep before 2 am. I am SO tired ya’ll. Yesterday I spent […]
Weekly Workbasket October 23
This post is coming a bit late, but it’s here, and that’s what matters right?? I don’t know about you but I have been SO busy the last month and a half. So busy that I have given up on my hilarious Halloween costume idea, because I know I won’t have time to make it. […]

Weekly Workbasket- September 24
How was your week last week? Amazing I hope! Mine was okay. I did some good stuff, was fairly productive, had some fun. Here’s a visual example of my week : If you haven’t seen yet I released not one but TWO free hat patterns last week. The 1967 Beret, and the 1967 Ribbed Beanie! It […]
Weekly Workbasket for September 17- Mount Vernon and More!
How was your week last week? Mine was simply delightful! Well, mostly. A little bit of stress and annoyance with my neighborhood, but let’s focus on all the good stuff instead! I had a pretty productive week craft wise, although I have several projects I want to finish today in order to be on my […]
County Fair Crafts
Every year I swear I’m going to enter items in the county fair. Every year it gets away from me and I don’t. Sadly, this year was no different. I picked up the book several weeks ago, got my items to enter figured out. Item registration was Sunday, Tuesday I said “Well darn! Guess I’m […]
Weekly Workbasket- September 3
I was fairly busy last week. Several days of leaving early and coming back in the late afternoon or evening. My husband had some weird hours at work, and some evening plans so our days were a bit wonky. I did manage to craft, but it’s all for stuff I can’t show yet. So this […]
Weekly Workbasket- August 27/28
Last week was a bit of a mess. My son and I both were fighting a bug at the beginning of the week and just dragging along, and then I had a headache for about 3 days at the end of the week. In fact I didn’t write this post yesterday because it was the […]
Weekly Workbasket- August 13- Life is a Marathon
First let me talk for a minute about life. We are expected to balance WAY to much in this life. Have a green smoothie every day, BUT don’t always use kale or it can mess up your thyroid. (Plus, kale is disgusting.) Eat plenty of fruit, BUT be careful it contains so much sugar! You […]
Sewing Goodies & Gadgets Show Off
I said that I wanted to show you my recent ebay purchase with all the sewing goodies. I kept putting it off because it would take SO many photos to show you everything, so instead I decided to make a video! I’d love to hear your thoughts (I know the video could be better) and […]
Weekly Workbasket- August 6
It’s that time again! Let’s talk about life! Parenting- I don’t usually say to much about parenting, because honestly this blog is to give me something else to think about, talk about, and focus on, BUT this week. I swear my child has not shut up for at least 7 days straight. I locked myself […]
