Dragonfly Washcloths

I love dragonflies. And I’m trying to love knitting. 馃檪 So I thought putting them together might work. I did learn a few things about knitting with this pattern and it was fun, easy, and cute. Maybe some day I’ll post my own knitting pattern but I’m SO not that good at it yet. Until …

Merry Randomness

This time of year I wish I could crochet as fast as this lady can knit. No, really. I’ve been applying some of her tips to crochet, since she knits with the continental method, and am impressed so far. So, if you are crocheting presents and wish they’d go faster… or just want to be …

Crafty Gifty

Last year about this time I was crafting madly. I stayed up till late Christmas Eve still putting finishing touches on gifts! I must have had “go big or go home” stuck in my head… though that was on a budget so it meant lots of making. I loved it. But this year there’s a …

Nursing Cover

So, I’ve always breastfed my babies and always struggled with nursing the hungry baby in public. The typical episode would end with milk everywhere, slipping blankets due to flailing infants, and a baby not very happy with all the time it takes to be modest. I can’t believe it took me until my third baby …

Because Droid got lonely…

Because Droid got lonely… And maybe because I was a wee bit tired of seeing green all the time. 馃檪 In honor of Valentines Day… PINK DROID! If you’d like one of these lady Droids you can order one at my store here. And… I promise soon the twist glove pattern will be up. 馃檪 …

A week of Androids

Just over a week ago I was clueless about what was about to happen. It started when Android Central featured the Droid robot I designed and make. Within the next 24 hours I got more comments, likes, tweets, and orders than I ever expected. It was quickly picked up by 3 other blogs and Gizmodo.com. …

Gloves!

One of my favorite things to design and make has, by far, been fingerless gloves! All I was lacking was the capability to be my own hand model and photographer at the same time. Well, my six year old has became my part time photographer and she loves it! I have to say she doesn’t …

Christmas Candles

So… this is an awesome time of year and I’ve been enjoying creating a lot of things for Christmas. I thought I’d share one of my projects from last year, so that I’m not giving anything away to recipients this year. It was fun and easy and a very versatile project. As a result of …

On Second Thought… And Another Thought

A sad confession. Remember the No-Oven Muffins a couple posts back? Well, turns out they weren’t such a good idea. I retract my statement that you can make muffins without an oven and will stick to quick breads in the bread machine. My crock-pot broke. The ceramic cracked and split with a very small bump …

No-Oven Muffins

My love of fall and winter is usually celebrated with a bout of baking many yummy seasonal things. It makes me feel all warm and wonderful inside to smell it cooking. This year, however, our oven has given out. I’ve found out that I really don’t need an oven much, as we procrastinate about getting …
