This month we wrap up the 2020-2021 school year for PTO and planned for 2021-2022! I am going into my 3rd (and final) year of being the PTO President for my kid’s elementary school. Every year we have a big planning meeting in June for the next school year. Gifts are my love language –…

Just a little update on my crafty endeavors (other than party printables)! The reason I started crocheting was because of crochet cuties aka amigurumi. This book is what originally inspired me to ask my Mom to teach me! I write more about how this book changed my life here! (ok I just went down an…

I gave a lot of handmade this Christmas, so I wanted to show some of it off! I love gifting and getting handmade crafts. With the gift of time this year, I was able to make quite a few gifts! This is the (I think) 6th quilt I have made this year. I used fun…

My son has a small obsession with pufferfish! Thanks to the Nintendo switch game Animal Crossing! So for his birthday I decided to make him his very own Pufferfish crochet stuffie! I found this awesome pattern for a Pufferfish crochet stuffie by Vanessa Mooncie for FREE on Ravelry! It is written in British crochet terms…

More projects to show off! I know quarantine has been hard for so many, I feel fortunate that my kiddos (almost 11 and 9) are thriving and enjoying being home with the whole family – and I am getting projects done that I have been wanting to do! Here are some of my recent completions.…

My quarantine crafting projects continue! I recently finished this fun one with a pattern from Crafty is Cool! I used her Bear Cub pattern and did a few mods (thanks for the suggestions Crafty is Cool) to create baby yoda! If you haven’t seen Allison Hoffman’s work – you are in for a treat –…

One good thing about this quarantine is all the time at home to finish projects! While I didn’t dive in and start making masks to sell (like the rest of the world) I did make them for family and friends. Here is my crew in their cute masks! I was also able to get some…

Fall Kids Clothes Week was last week – and while I didn’t get to all of the projects that I wanted to, I did manage to get a few things done for both kids! I have been wanting to upcycle a few of my husband’s shirts into shirts for the little man.  I used the…

Time for the August Stuffie of the Month!  This month I am featuring a crocheted stuffie pattern!  Princess Aurora by Ohana Craft. Since I actually started crocheting stuffed animals before I was sewing them, I thought reviewing a crochet stuffie pattern (also know as Amigurumi) would be a great addition to my stuffie of the…

My favorite stuffed animal designer is also an amazing craft business blogger –  Abby Glassenberg of While She Naps.  She is currently running a series on her blog talking to sewing/crafting people about the Pattern that changed their life!  This got me thinking about what my inspiration was for getting all crafty and diving into the…
