Ever have the urge to start a new project, but you can’t quite figure out what it is that you want to do? Or maybe you have a bunch of projects already started, and you can’t decide which one to pick up and work on. Maybe you have spent hours doomscrolling through Instagram and now…
Hey, we survived another week! If you are anything like me, you weren’t sure you were going to. I think we all need a prize for surviving! So have a cookie: Those are peanut butter and marshmallow fluff cookies. Ever had a fluffernutter sandwich? That’s what these cookies are based off, and I have to…
What makes handmade items so special? Why do people turn to handmade items? Why do people enjoy creating these items? I think there are a multitude of reasons, and let’s look at some of them. Imperfections Listen, this might come as a shock to you, but I’m not perfect. (Cue the gasps of horror!) I’d…
We made it through another week! Here’s to surviving and thriving as March does its best to make that a challenge. (Only me? Oh.) I’ve spent a fair amount of this past week making a wish list of things to grow. I have limited space, so I try to make the best of what I’ve…
If you’ve been a crafter for any length of time, you most likely have some unfinished projects lying around. Around here, we call those UFO’s – UnFinished Objects.

Can you believe that it is March? In some ways, this year is flying by, and in other ways, it’s creeping along. It’s crazy to believe that spring is coming and winter is on its way out. (I say that, and winter will come roaring back in, just wait and see!) I’m spending some time…
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from gardening, baking, sewing, and all the other “old-timey” skills I love, it’s this: you’re going to mess up—A LOT. And that’s okay! In fact, it’s necessary. We live in a world where we expect quick results. We see flawless quilts on Pinterest, perfectly frosted cakes on Instagram, and…
All right friends, how are we feeling about life this week? Same. Hard same. But we persevere. Or you know, go cry in the corner for a bit, and then just do the best we can. Just me? In addition to *waves hand* everything else going on in the world, I’m also making the attempt…
I got some questions about the adorable pup from my weekly check in post this past week. So here’s a formal introduction! This is Disco. He’s a chocolate Yorkie, and he has a lot of sass. Here’s the thing, I’m very much a cat person. But there was just something about this little dog at…
Well well well, another rainy day. Rainy days in the winter seem just a tiny bit more dreary than rainy days any other time of year. It’s not even like fun rainy, it’s borderline freezing rain and maybe we’ll get a snowflake or two kind of rainy. The gross kind! So I’m staying inside, snuggling…
