Year of Finishes 2022 – January Check-In

Brief relatively unimportant note: I previously said I would be posting a final, fourth "everything else" category for my Round-Up posts, where I fit in my crafts that weren't quilting, knitting and crocheting, or cross stitch. I've since decided not to write that post. There are so many projects I have laying around that aren't…

Year of Finishes 2022 WIP Round-Up – Knit/Crochet Version

Hello again! Time for another Round-Up! So around the beginning of 2021, I picked my yarn and needles back up after what felt like a really long break and started doing a lot of knitting and crocheting again. In fact from February to November 2021, I finished a total of 26 projects - which was…

Year of Finishes 2022

Hey everyone! I'm keeping myself pretty busy (or as busy as I can when needing constant breaks) these days, but I wanted to very quickly pop in and let you all know I'm doing Year of Finishes again this year! So if you don't know, I participated in a thing called Year of Finishes around...I…

What A Mess – Cleaning and Chronic Illness

Here I am, airing my mess again on the internet. At least this time it's my actual craft room mess, not my...um...inner mess. (Long and picture-heavy post warning!) And there it is. Slightly blurry picture from shaky, chronic trembly hands and all, my mess in all its glory. Oh, hi there Milo! I've been blessed…

Toxic Positivity (and the Value of Normalizing Negative Feelings)

Roll call: Who's been in this situation before? You're on Facebook. You're movin' and groovin', checking out what your friends are up to, viewing your 500th fake news article and your 1000th vacation or kids photo that you didn't ask to see, rolling your eyes at the fact that your auntie still doesn't understand that…

What’s Up?

I know! It's been another minute since I've made a post. What can I say? The reality is that my life is chaotic sometimes, and I go through long periods where I don't know what to post on the blog/I don't have the spoons to do anything new with the blog. I also get wrapped…
