Shop update 5/20/21 Update to the shop. I was looming some pretty cat eyes but wasn’t happy about how they were turning out. Instead of using a pattern, I should have free-handed the art. It’s funny how I can see something, but can’t translate it into the end product I want. Not because of lack of ability. I have that….
Color Choice in Crafting Matters Lately, I have been playing a game on the phone that requires you to decorate part of a home. It has a description of what the client likes and wishes.

I would go to her house quite often and sit and talk with her. She would give me coffee with lots of sugar and cream. We would…
Irish Rose This pretty rose can be used as an embellishment for hats, purses, clothing and granny squares. It is rather simple to make and once you get the hang of it you can make dozens of them while watching your favorite shows. Irish Rose is a terrific way to use up leftover yarn. I used little bits of leftover…
Not Cool Yarn-Bombing is the act of covering objects in yarn using either crochet or knit. It is usually unexpected items, such as trees, benches, lamps, bicycles, and other items. There have bombardments inside, but mostly one finds them outside. It turns the landscape into a colorful wonderland. Typically the events have been to raise awareness for some cause or…
