New Wednesday Look!

"Don't Stress! Relax! Let life roll off your backs. Except for death and paying taxes, everything in life is only for now!" - Avenue Q; Print out at Katie Crafts; https://www.katiecrafts.com

We (fingers crossed!) close on the house this Friday! Our official move date is September 16th, but we’ll probably start bringing some things over early and doing a little work there. We’ll also be super busy packing – yeah, I’m still not done – and cleaning and moving, and then unpacking and cleaning and settling in over the course of the next month. That means I sadly won’t have time for my normal Wednesday Etsy Featured Shop interviews! Continue reading New Wednesday Look!

While browsing the paint aisles, I decided to grab a few different paint chip swatches, knowing when I had the time I would be able to find a fun little project to use them for. Well, now is the time! Continue reading DIY Mini Sketch Book

My Etsy Picks: Needle Arts

My Etsy Picks: Needle Arts

I heart needle art! Whether it’s crochet or knit, cross stitch or embroidery, I love it. Especially lately! Something about the end of summer/beginning of fall puts me in a super crochet-y mood. I guess it’s when I usually start making everyone’s Christmas presents, scarves, etc. I wish I knew how to do all the needle arts, but alas- I cannot! So I must look elsewhere for inspiration. Off to Etsy for the perfect gift guide! Continue reading My Etsy Picks: Needle Arts

I'll Miss These Guys!; http://www.katiecrafts.com

Their owners come home this weekend, so I’ll have to say goodbye to the three furbabies I was taking care of all summer. I’ll miss these guys! Especially Biggie (pictured last)- he was such a quiet sweet little guy! He’s also a foster, so if anyone in the Philly area is looking for a kitty- he can be yours! Then I can visit him again! Yay!
