I was at Target last week and saw these beautiful pillows that looked like they were made out of old sweaters, so I decided to take a look at what I had in my stash. I had some sweaters that I had previously felted (washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer) so...

I think my nesting form of choice has been knitting. There is just something about it. I am self taught so each project I complete is like a little celebration for me. Every time I go to the knitting shop I soak up bits of new information. The last time I went I...

This weekend I had a wonderful time creating. I made this very simple fall table runner in a jiffy to get my quilting fix in…the rug continues to grow…and the baby vest I started just needs a few wooden buttons to finish it up. I’m thinking this...

Below is my first video blog… I hope to do a few more of these in the future. This one is an update on my wool braided rug. In my pregnant state I didn’t have the energy to put myself together before the shoot, so you’ll just have to enjoy a very...
