It’s been a hard year, I’m not going to lie about that. It could have been so much worse and that’s something that’s not far from my mind. I’m so very grateful for my spouse, my family, and my community of crafters who are there. With all the ups and downs I’ve gone through this …
I love witches (I think I’ve said that before on this blog). I just really do. They might be my favorite supernatural creature, because they’re so often depicted as badass ladies. In a lot of lore, witches were scary to people (especially men) because they were often women who just didn’t care (or were old/ …
Happy Fall-o-ween everyone! The months of Fall-o-ween run from September to right before Thanksgiving (like, the day before).If you’ve been a frequenter of this website you know that I’m all about Fall/ Halloween (hence the name of my favorite season being the portmanteau Falloween) and… alas, the best month of the season also happens to …
You might have guessed from today’s post but… Falloween is super underway. Sure, I posted some pumpkin designs in the month of August, but now we’re cooking in a cauldron and it’s time for Halloween patterns. I wanted to get started on Halloween designs this month because I’ve got a couple different blog hops going …
Last post of August!?! I know it’s cliche and I say it all the time, but I can’t believe how fast the month went by. I mean, I’m 100% ready for Fall, pumpkin, and cozy clothes but I can’t believe that it’s almost September. I love looking forward to things and when they finally arrive, …
Happy Fall everyone!Ok, what, it’s not quite Fall yet? Psh, it is in my house! Especially because I have this big and squishy pumpkin sitting on my coffee table. I’ve spoken at length here, at the grocery store, on social media, to my therapist, to plants… to anyone or anything that can listen that I …
Wow, it’s already the second Tuesday of the month! Where does the time go? With all my second Tuesdays of 2018, today’s post is another #2018TSAP square. I have been having a ball creating and releasing these squares but I don’t know how much everyone else is getting out of them. Do you want to …
Hi everyone!Wow, I took last week off and it was very nice but I think all that relaxing messed up my brain because I just feel like this week is dragging so much and it’s only Tuesday. I keep meaning to get up, get stuff started (finishing patterns, starting new ones, grocery shopping, etc) but …
So… it’s happening! The Fall is coming, eventually.Here where I live now in SoCal the weather is still dancing around between a 80° to 100° but I’m pretending that Fall is in the air. I’m going to get out some cinnamon candles and I’ve already watched Practical Magic once. If you’ve been following my blog …
Lately I’ve been ruminating a lot on the nature of kindness. Kindness is free, it’s easy, and it’s something everyone can do but at times it seems fleeting and that makes me sad. I have always been a person who wanted to be tough, to have that hard outer shell that people got the sense …
