So, most people think I’m joking when I tell them that I am one of five children, which I get. Not many people want to deal with that kind of crazy. But my mom did, and so did my grandma. That’s right. My mom is also one of five biological siblings; she also has two…
My mother was a quilter. She made each of her five children a quilt at one point or another. I still have mine (it’s seen some wear and tare and doesn’t look even half as nice as when she gave it to me when I was seven or eight, but I still have it). When…
For anyone in the United States who has been to Aldi’s, you know that you need to bring your own bag. If you don’t live in the US, or have never been to Aldi’s, then here’s your warning. You need to bring your own bag. Now, I generally make sure to have my own reusable…
The crocodile stitch can be used for quite a variety of projects. Here, I was attempting to create a dice bag for my Magic the Gathering dice. (Side note, say hello to the turtles! Leo, Mikey, Raph, and Donna.) The first attempt at making the dice bag ended up a LOT bigger than I thought…
This is probably one of my favorite hats that I have made. I’m not french, and I have never really been into the whole “Paris, Eiffel Tower, Pink, and Cream” phase (no offense meant to anyone who likes that sort of thing or anyone from France; just not my cup of tea). But I was…
The big thing when it comes to winter hats the past few years has been the slouchy hats with the opening in the top for a pony tail or bun to be pulled through. As a challenge, a friend at church asked if I had ever made one. When my answer was no, that obviously…
When I moved out on my own, I had literally two store bought potholders for in my kitchen. Anyone who has worked in a kitchen knows that that can get to be a little difficult, especially if you have a hot pan sitting on them on the table, and you need to take another pan…
Most houses I have been in have had some kind of dish towel draped across the handle of the stove. How about your house? Well, in the houses I grew up in, we had these. My grandma has them, my mom has them, my aunts have them, and it was the first gift my aunt…
Originally, when I found this Crochet pattern from abc-knitting-patterns.com, they had it labeled as a Chestnut leaf. While I do see the Chestnut in the pattern, I think it looks a little more like a Sycamore? With the help of a Google search, you can see a Chestnut leaf on the left and a Sycamore…
In December of 2019, I had the honor of receiving my Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry. For the graduation ceremony, we were allowed to decorate our caps. Now, knowing what you know about me, you know I was not going to let that opportunity go by. I debated being artsy with mine and trying to use…
