This literally makes me cry. I dreamt of visiting them in person to see all the gorgeous yarns not available here. I am so sad that will never happen. As much as I appreciate the convenience of ordering online, it […]

I love this! I’ve been attempting to sell off my yarn stash via etsy, and I’ve sold a few things. But not a lot. I don’t knit as much as I used to, so I want to downsize the collecting significantly. I will […]

Actually, I did a whole video on how I selected my pieces AND how I installed it. IKEA is a little light in terms of installation instructions, so I show exactly how I did it. I’m doing one for my bedroom next to […]

I literally just put in my first IKEA pegboard from the SKADIS collection. I use it to organize sewing odds and ends. I used it as it is, but you pick all your pieces individually, so I guess each one is a hack. […]

I knitted a scarf that I was able to replicate from an episode of Kimmy Schmidt and found a woman locally who dressed up as Kimmy for a cosplay. I found her through instagram, and it was a miracle of sorts that […]

As a consumer, I love Bluprint. I have been with Craftsy since the beginning, but have not bought classes with them for some time because the last couple were not great (for me) so I did not want to invest in […]

I hope they are going to come up with something simpler, because this is insane for a small shop. I’m one person working in a spare bedroom selling a few mugs on Etsy. So far, I am fine. But 200 sales is not a […]

I have been with Craftsy since the beginning. The Knit Lab classes taught me how to knit. Even though I took some lessons in person, the LYS was 65 miles away at the time, and I would be confused by the time I got […]

They recently updated the JoAnn Fabrics closest to me and it is amazing!! It’s nothing like this concept store, unfortunately….but it’s a DRASTIC improvement over the former store which was tiny and depressing. […]

Yeah, it’s kind of disappointing to accept it. I think once you get your number up to a certain level and you have a good critical mass of followers, it does help. But….the stories are where it happens. And […]

There are not enough hours in the day to like enough and comment enough on other users to get anywhere on Instagram now without the assistance of a bot. I have used like bots in the past and I grew like crazy with […]

I don’t know how to feel about this. I know there’s a crafting tv show coming soon, so maybe there’s a tie in. I’m glad to see crafts getting so much air time, but what does that mean for tiny little websites like […]

I think $71 is a bit spendy to make that little pom pom garland. I have to go and look to figure out why it would be so expensive. Most of the people I encounter who are interested in crafting are looking to do it […]
