I Choose 2016
I have a real love-hate relationship with New Year's Resolutions. I love the possibility but I hate the mega high expectations (and 9 times out of 10, in my case, the eventual letdown). That never stopped me though! I'm hopping on board the One Little Word train this year and... Continue reading

Oh, Hello There
Hello again! I decided to take a month long break from blogging in February and ended up taking off 9 months + deleting my entire 3+ years blog history. And, damn, it feels good to start over. I don't have any plan for what goes here. There is no end... Continue reading

PROJECT 4/30 : GIANT WEAVING
Moving right along with MAKE&GIVE30 project number 4! I knew if I wanted to get through my yarn a giant weaving was in order. Weavings are perfect for scrap yarn because even if you have just a few yards of something you can make it work as a small accent. I'll warn you though, something thi...

I love that blanket!! Thank you for the chance to win it (it snowed 6 inches in Iowa last night so it'll definitely be put to good use here!)
I started reading your blog about 4 years ago. I had moved from Iowa to Nevada and had NO IDEA what I was going to do with my life. I started reading your blog and a few others and got so inspired. It's still the blog I look forward to every morning and I save it until the end so it's the last one I read- please excuse the super nerdiness :)
One of my favorite posts this year- and I'm sure I'm not alone here- was the How to Tackle Huge Projects. I'm a big idea person and a trying to be better detail/ action person and this really helped.
Thank you so much and I can't wait to see what else you come up with!

the 30th knit blanket
Last year, while I was knitting my 29 blankets, I knitted one extra (I think it was number 19). I didn't have enough of two yarns colors at the house and I was wanting to knit so I just started adding scrap yarn together. Of course, then I ran out of scrap yarn and had to go buy more to actual...
I love the look of this + I SO want to make a joke about it being a nice day for a white weaving (I'm 94% sure that if Billy Idol were to remake White Wedding, this is what he would sing about)
Oh! And the archives look great!

a giant white weaving.
It's been a LONG time since I've made something just for fun for the house. This jade ampersand was the last official project. (PS, thanks to my new archive pages that post was SO easy to find). The podcast and MAKE29 have me in a bit more of a "business" mindset mode than craft project mode...
Love this so much! I think it's so fascinating to see different people's different motivations + strategies when it comes to business. Also, as someone who works making kits at a quilt store, I can tell you- people LOVE kits!

thoughts on the MAKE29 project so far.
I am now one-sixth of the way through my MAKE29 crafting adventure. Two months down and ten to go. Because transparency is good, I want to write more today about this project...where it came from, what I think about it presently and where I see it headed. MAKE29 was conceptualized very quickly...
I would love to print all of the photos of my family! We're not all living in the same place anymore and it's hard sometimes! Having more photos up would make me so happy!!
