The first time I cut up shoes 👟


Hey there!

How are you? What did you work on this week? I managed to work on a few projects. I cut up some shoes (see below) and made 2 new stickers for Merry Mail and my Etsy shop. I’ll send pics of the stickers as soon as they arrive!

I almost worked on a sweater I have going. I carried it around the hospital for 4 days while my mom was admitted, but I never actually took it out. 🤪 She’s home and doing well now, so I’m a very happy woman! I’ll have to carve out some other time to work on my sweater!

3 cool things…

Here is the new coaster I made. I think it’s so cute! These will be going in my Etsy shop and maybe a future Merry Mai!

I cut my high tops into low tops! These aren’t done yet. They need more substantial edging. So far, I’m happy with them.

A reminder that we’re never too experienced to mess up! I spent hours crocheting a cute bra for under tank tops and ended up with nothing! 🤣🤪 One try-on and I frogged the whole thing!

Hello! How are you? I’m making slow but steady progress on my love/hate cardigan. I seriously can't wait to wear this thing! Bruno approves! Now onto the big news. I wasn’t kidding in that subject line. I’m done trying to monetize my knitting. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, and the other day I had this feeling of knowing come over me. It’s time to let it go. ❄️ I added my first patterns to Ravelry over 14 years ago. At the time I had 3 small kids and I was looking for...

Hello! How are you? I have about a million pictures to share this week. It’s Behind the Scenes Week, and I’m very busy! 🤣🤪 Read on to see what I’m up to! Behind the Scenes Strawberry Lemonade is finished! Kind of. 🤣🤪 I still need to weave in the ends! The top one is the final version. What do you think? There’s so much cute fruit-themed stuff everywhere these days, I thought it would be fun to make our own! I’m not sure yet if I’m going to publish this as a paid pattern, or if I’m going to...

Hello! How are you? Two weeks into 2025 already! We still have a year-sized blank canvas laid out before us. What are you going to splatter yours with? Block out one Saturday a month for a fun family outing? Give one of your rooms a makeover with your own handmade deliciousness? Get even more amazing at something you’re already doing? (I’m looking at you, Merry Mail!) A fresh, crisp new year always gets the ideas flowing for me. This time I’m trying to set a realistic timeline for myself, so...
