Outdoor Market Essentials
I attended my first outdoor market towards the middle of September, and it was awesome. Though I’m pretty introverted, I really enjoy connecting with people at these events! Even if I need a few days of silence to re-centre afterwards. 🤣 Additionally, I’m thankful to more experienced vendors for sharing their wisdom. As a rookie,…

Free Crafty Cross-Stitch Pattern
It’s been years since the last time I cross-stitched something, but it feels right to return to this craft now that I’m so deeply in love with crochet. Fibre art for the win!

Artist VS the Machine
I’ve spent my life pursuing art and writing, learning about art and writing, and creating art and writing.

Crafting with Polymer Clay – Everything You Need to Start (Part 1)
The last 8 months have been a major learning curve for me. I picked up not one, but two serious new hobbies, and my house is strewn with half-complete projects. Send coffee. 🤣 Thankfully, my wonderful friend taught me how to work with polymer clay and set me up with some of the basics to…

Let’s Make – Resin Leaf Charms
My husband is an avid woodworker. He’s always either working on a project or watching woodworking videos on YouTube. This, of course, means I’m also watching, if only from the corner of my eye. And now I find myself obsessed with wood-and-resin furniture. Thanks, Black Forest Wood Co. 😂 I can’t be trusted around power…
