I have been throwing around the idea of doing a learn to knit or crochet series. I would post weekly with new tips and tricks, plus different stitches. I would also post a pattern each week that would pertain to what was taught that week. So like a knitting / crochet class, but online.

I know there are a lot of sites that show the basic stitches, but I would make each lesson more involved than I’ve seen. Plus with weekly patterns to do before the next lesson, it would be a great way to learn how to knit or crochet!

Is there any interest in this? Would you like to see this? Would you find it helpful? Please comment!

Been working on a few things. Thanks for your help with this yarn I just couldn’t do anything but a scarf. I know it’s getting warm here too but it is going to be soo yummy this winter. My winter self will thank my spring self for knitting it.

When I bought this yarn I also picked up this ginormous spool of yarn. I was inspired to make Lucy an Easter dress. And here it is. Good thing I had a plan B. Maybe it will just be a summer time dress

For those participating in our Summer Craft Swap, today is the deadline to send off your packages. If you can’t get your packages out today, please let me know (if you haven’t already). We’ll be posting pics of the items that were exchanged and will hopefully have those up in the coming weeks.

For those who missed the sign up, we’ll be doing another swap at the end of the summer, so please check back. We’re not sure what kind of swap we want to do yet and are open to any ideas or suggestions. We were thinking of maybe doing a particular color-theme, or maybe a kitchen swap. Any thoughts?

Brian and I were talking one night about how often he has to take out the trash. Not exactly complaining but wondering if there is any way we can get a bigger trash can. We like to keep the trash under the sink but we had to keep opening the side door to throw stuff away. He was literally taking out the trash every few days cause our trash can was so little.

This is what it looked like.

He suggested we get a bigger trash can and just put a flap up there. You know like a fast food restaurant? We popped the wooden piece out. It was just clipped in and I made a flap that can Velcro in. This is what it looks like. I just sewed some thick fabric together and glued some piece of drywall I had laying around on the back of it to make it close..

Now all we need is a Thank You sign on it. So random, but it works. He was thrilled and so proud of our little trash flap. Love coming up with this stuff with you baby.

My online store is open! Previews are up, and the items will be stocked and ready to purchase at 7pm EST! Right now I’m focusing on baby things, because that is where my interest is right now. Eventually I will expand my stock
