About

Hello! My name is Cortney, I am a knitter, quilter, and sewist (and sometime crocheter, spinner, etc) living in Maryland. I share a home with my wonderful partner, his kid, and a very cuddly orange cat. We’re all originally from the south and have been in Maryland for a few years.

My making journey has been going in fits and starts since childhood. I learned to sew and cross stitch from my mother and had a brief try at quilting back in 2009. I taught myself to knit about twelve years ago and fired up the sewing machine a few years after that.

I started the blog back in 2017 to chronicle my year of making: a commitment to spend at least some time creating each day for a year. It was a wonderful journey, I learned that even a few rows on a sock relieves stress and that I can spend time being creative without having 4 hours to spare.

These days I am using this space as a bit of cozy diary to chronicle my making. It’s the perfect spot to grab a beverage of choice, read about crafty adventures, and maybe even find some inspiration.

Happy making!
