Hello! How are you? I’m so excited to show you something I did in Reno! I got to go to Jimmy Beans Wool! While my husband was doing conferencey things, a friend of mine who lives there took me yarn shopping! I was so awestruck I didn’t even play this claw machine! Looking at the picture now, I’m like “why didn’t I even try?” I guess I’ll have to go back next year. With a big ol’ bag of quarters! I did manage to find some yarn! The two on top are going to be a Kraken hat, so stay tuned for...

As I’m cramming as much fun as I can into the last few weeks of summer, I’m looking ahead to fall and winter crafting.

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.
