Wherefore art thou, mojo?
Is it just me or has January been a bit of a blur? I’ve had quite the perfect storm of work stress, video game addiction, and just all around lack of mojo. I’ve not really felt like crafting most days and so have fallen back into a certain game over and over. I’ll confess, I…

Bait and switch: 2021 Year of …
So here we are, 2020 is in the books and we have a fresh and shiny new year ready for the taking. After I wrapped up my Year of Christmas last week, my thoughts turned to my next “year.” I’ve been mulling over ideas for a while, looking at stash and around the house for…

Catch-all.
As I’ve started thinking about my end of year review and next year’s plans, I realized that there a few projects that never made it to the blog. Some are finished objects and some WIPs and a few gifts that have now been gifted. Back in the dim and misty receses of the past, one…

Little by little.
At work, it honestly feels as though the end of the year is just careening towards me and there is still so much to do. It’s been a host of busy days, so I am making a concerted effort to slow it way down in my personal space. In most years (feels like I’ve been…

Palate cleanser.
About a week ago, I had really cleaned up and cleared out. Preparing for holiday making and the end of the year, I had it all planned out. I’ve got my little end of year to do list all written up, yarn caked, fabric pulled. Spoilers, the list has no check marks – I’ve needed…

Tying up loose ends.
It’s that time of year again, my friends. The air turns crisp (sort of, it’s Maryland after all), we’ve got pumpkins galore, and Christmas and New Year’s are nearly here. Now I know that sounds a bit crazy at the beginning of October but bear with me. I tend to try to accomplish two goals…

Happy Christmas Quilt
I really like pretty much everything I make. I know I throw around a bunch of loves, amazings, and gorgeouses around here but buckle your seat belt – I’m really about to gush. Could it be better? I am honestly in love. This is the penultimate holiday quilt to me. I’m really pleased with how…
