This video has been making the internet rounds lately, so you may have already seen it, but I just had to glorify it here as well. It is such an inspiring story about the creativity and imagination of one little guy, and the chance encounter of a filmmaker who stumbled upon him and recognized that [...]

There’s A New Baby In Town
May 13, 2011
As my satisfaction has gradually dwindled away over the cuteness level of my last doxie crochet project, I decided to up the ante when I found these mini-tiny dog noses at Knittn’ Kitten. I designed a little pattern for them, and since it’s a fairly quick project, I want to make a bunch and sell [...]
Krafts For Boyz
February 15, 2011
As I’ve said before, I make every effort to hand craft all my gifts. This doesn’t exclude boys, and it definitely doesn’t surpass Valentine’s day. Rian is actually really easy to craft for, now that I have narrowed down his two favorite things: video games, and dachshunds. This plastic canvas “gameboy” ipod holder I made [...]

Fleece Penguin Hat

I would estimate that about 75% of my projects start out as a seedling for a great idea. The other 25%, well, they are usually the fruits of a silly idea or a half joke, half challenge. (Case in point: my boyfriend sent me a facebook comment: “you up for this challenge?” with this photo.) [...]
Nice, Zowie
January 11, 2011
Over the summer, I went into overdrive buying bags of crochet thread at Goodwill, to stock up on colors for amulet bags. The problem with the way it’s sold is that it’s rolled onto a huge cardboard tube – with a ton of wasted space in between, it’s really hard to store in bulk. So [...]
The Good, The Bad, and The Downright Frightening
December 31, 2010
Every Christmas, you know it’s inevitable – you will get at least one handmade gift. Most crafters rejoice during the holidays, they get an excuse to spend countless hours perfecting gifts for everyone in their family. Sometimes it’s a way to save money on presents, and other times it’s an excuse to spend money on [...]
You’re A Wizard, Harry!
December 31, 2010
If you know me even a little, you know I’m totally dorky. That along with the lethal combination of being able to “totally get into things” is the entire basis for this craft project. Early October, my friend from work mentioned that she was planning to take her younger siblings to the midnight premiere of [...]
GTL or GTFO
December 22, 2010
Unlike other years, this Halloween I had been planning my costume for a while. I knew for a while that I wanted to be the infamous Snooki from MTV’s monstrosity of a reality show, Jersey Shore. When the show first came out, I was pretty disgusted with it and avoided it completely. It looked so [...]

…Another brilliant and inspiring work of literary genius, brought to you by Goodwill:
