In my last post, I wrote of “slowly finding a way to put the broken pieces of my life together to create something new.” Well, life has taken a very quick turn instead, throwing more broken pieces at me while also providing more ways to create something beautiful.
It’s hard to believe that I started this blog almost 8 years ago. And with only a handful of posts and nothing new added in about 5 years, I am surprised and grateful that you guys are still out there, visiting my little site, and using my tutorials for your own projects.

But too often, crochet scarves turn out awkward and stiff, lacking the nice drape and softness of knit. Determined to make a warm, soft, beautiful crochet scarf, I set out […]
Hey everyone, Looks like it’s been about a year and a half since my last post, and also a year and a half since my last pattern. I think I’ve officially taken the top spot as ‘Worst. Blogger. Ever.’ I’m glad to see people are still visiting my site though, I’m still here behind the […]
