Easy Notebook Glam-Up
I’m working on a new writing project, so of course I need a notebook. And, instead of giving in to the urge to purchase a new one, I delved into my stash (because all creatives with ADHD have a stash of unused note-taking supplies). I’m so proud of myself, that I might just splurge on…

My First Time Using a Silk Screen on Clay
I’ve been sitting on this post for months, but I figure it’s time to let her rip and share my thoughts with you. I picked up a Boho Screen Printing Kit by Craft Smart from my local Michaels for $14.99 (prices are subject to change, and this is not a sponsored post). The kit includes…

Quick and Easy Crochet – Fruit & Veggies
So, of course, I was going to make a bunch of amigurumi fruit and veggies.

Quick and Easy Crochet – Granny Square Backpack
As is typical of my brand of ADHD, I didn’t start my crochet journey with the easy stuff. I fell head-first into intermediate projects, which resulted in a lot of unravelling and re-crocheting. I do the same thing when I write novels. 😂 I get so excited that I skip the groundwork and dive into…

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…

My First Experience with a Silicone Clay Mould
I’ve had a few of these on my wish list for quite some time, so I’m stoked to have received a silicone mould (mold in the US) as a part of my birthday haul. On that note, my husband had the really awesome idea to bring me to Michaels and let me pick out all…

Resources for New Crocheters
Or, as we’re cordially known as on social media, hookers. 🤠Grandma would be so proud. Anyway, if you’re new to the world of crochet, you might find yourself so overwhelmed with the sheer volume of tutorials out there that you’re too afraid to start learning how to make stuff. I know I scrolled past…
