About
Are you crafty? Not the sly, cunning kind of crafty (though maybe you’re that too, I don’t judge). But do you like to CREATE, to make art with your hands or perhaps just use it as a tool for stress relief or meditation? Again, I don’t judge – the quality of your finished projects isn’t really the point of the journey. To quote Miley Cyrus (sorry, not sorry), “it’s the climb”. I’m an amateur crafty person, fitting it in around life, work, kids. My primary loves are textile arts – knitting, crochet, embroidery, but I don’t label or limit myself. If something speaks to me, I try it. Some of my projects are FUGLY, to be honest. No one “masters” a new skill on their first try. But a long time ago I set myself a goal to learn just one new skill, however small, each year. Sound silly? The key to any success is persistency; some years I only managed to learn one new knitting stitch and some years I picked up a whole new craft. Either way, my journey develops at its own pace, year after year.So who AM I? I’m a middle aged (yikes) mother-of-two, living in the suburbs of downstate NY. B O R I N G. Yeah, I know. BUT, I’m also a self taught knitter, crocheter, general crafty person who has learned through years of trial and error and LOTS and LOTS of dropped stitches, mistakes and ridiculously lopsided sweaters.Why do you care? I dunno, maybe you don’t and I’m ok with that. But just maybe you want to learn some new skills, for funsies or whatever, and I can help speed you along your journey. I’m just getting started on this site, but eventually my goal is to create a one stop shop for all of the tools, tips, tricks, notions, patterns, calculators and anything else you might need on your creative journey. Eventually I’ll add more and more types of crafts (if you have a suggestion or are a master crafter in your own right, throw it my way and I’ll see what I can do to promote it). And maybe we can all have a laugh as I try new things and share my foibles with you so you can avoid the pitfalls (or commiserate)! So let’s get crafty together!!

Put some BLING on it Cowl
A good friend of mine, who I consider to be quite the chic fashionista, adores the color purple. She asked if I could make a cowl and I immediately went on the hunt for a rich purple with sparkles to add bling. It’s so wonderfully gratifying when you can match a project so perfectly to …
“let’s go for a drive” blanket
I started this blanket when I was expecting my son, using a kit from Mary Maxim. It took me five years of starts and stops to finish – not because of difficulty but because…babies. They’re so selfish, amiright? LOL. However, I was pleased with the end result and by the time I finished my son …
sweet sundae bear
I made this sweet bear when I was pregnant with my daughter and had visions of hundreds of handmade toys that my children would cherish forever. If you have kids, you know how utterly absurd my fantasy was! I have made other toys that are chewed, stained, unraveled (a particularly favorite game of theirs), but …
