This is probably one of my favourite patterns I … Continue reading Free Beginner Crochet Pattern – “The Benjamin”
You’ve probably heard many people use the term “slow fashion”, but I’m guessing you are not totally sure what it means.

Can you tell fall is just around the corner? I can't. The weather where I live has been atrociously warm. In fact, today we broke a 66-year temperature record, which is insane.

The last post I made anywhere was on May 18th, which was just over 3 weeks ago. I didn't … Continue reading Miss me? Here’s a quick little update on my life.

Hello again, and happy December! Wow, we've made it almost to the end of 2016. I usually lose track of time this time of year. I've had a running "to-do" list since about the beginning of November with "Finish Marvel Squares" on there, and all of a sudden, woah it's December.

You might as well go to your local yarn store and buy a ton of yarn right now, because I can guarantee you will not be able to stop making these.
