River V-Stitch Crochet Blanket

Last summer I decided to create my second crochet blanket with a V-Stitch pattern I found on Ravelry.  I chose pretty blue, green, and brown tones that I already owned in my stash to perform more stash-busting. 😁 The V-Stitch is so easy and soothing due to its repetitive nature, and I enjoyed working on…

Announcement

I know it's been a long time since my last post...so much has changed in my life during that time.  I hope to start posting more frequently as school comes to an end and summer begins. In the meantime, I felt it was appropriate to rebrand myself as I begin a new adventure - starting…

Stash Buster Granny Square Crochet Blanket

What do you do make when you have a rainbow array of yarn that you want to use up?  It's not Ghostbusters, it's not Mythbusters.......It's a Stash Buster!!  One of the best pros to making a stash buster is that you don't need to go out and buy lots of new yarn (which can be expensive for…

Working on My First Quilt!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that if I am visiting the library, you can always find me in the craft book section: poring over patterns, planning an infinity of projects, and exploring new techniques. I walk slowly down the row, head tipped sideways as I run my finger along the colorful spines of books…

Pondering

Belike, 'twas she, the maiden all forlorn, Went pausing in her walk and roaming on That show of such an exercise may color A picture of perfection now proved to be true. And lonely as it is that loneliness, Bright was the sun this loveliest of mornings, And filled the broad lap of the world…

Potential

I love to recycle, to take ordinary or unwanted objects and find new, creative uses for them. Junk mail? Let's make paper beads! What about those bottle caps and that funky plastic packaging? Challenge accepted! Fabric scraps? Bring it on! I find great joy in searching for potential in the smallest things and transforming them…

Happy Halloween!

My family went pumpkin picking at a local farm last weekend to select a few festive autumn decorations and have fun together. And of course, I had to take a picture of this pumpkin flower, which reminded me of the magic golden flower from Tangled  😉 Since it was so late in the season, most…

Camping, October 2018

One of the biggest perks of owning a camper is that you can go on lots of vacations throughout the year.  Every year in October, we go to our favorite campground: the first place we ever went camping in our first travel trailer.  I enjoy camping in the fall because the weather is nice and cool,…

Autumn Walk Photography

A few weeks ago, I went for a walk through my yard to enjoy the natural beauty of the autumn season.  Since the weather was moist, little mushrooms were springing up all over the place, and I couldn't resist snapping a few photos. I was really excited because I stumbled upon a large circle of…

He’s Holding this Moment

It all started on an ordinary day.  I was sitting in my craft room, tinkering away and listening to music on my new Josh Wilson Pandora station.  A few songs went by that sounded familiar, then a catchy tune came on.  I clicked the volume higher and was blown away by what I heard next. …
