DIY Mini Sketch Book

Project: DIY Mini Sketch Book (or Notebook!)

A few weeks back, I found myself in one of my greatest inspiration stores. Nope, not the fabric store, or the craft store, or even the art store- Home Depot! Seriously, I love it there. We were visiting my Dad for the weekend and painting my childhood bedroom a sunny shade of pale golden yellow. 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

Project: Crocheted Amigurumi Hippo Pattern

A few people in my family and friends circle are currently pregnant! That means come 2015 there will be a few baby showers that I’ll be attending, so I figured I better start making a ton of baby gifts now in preparation! Since we don’t know the sexes of the babies-to-be yet, I’m looking for gender-neutral projects that any little one could play with. In addition to some cute baby blankets (post-to-come!), play mats and clothing, I have been busy crocheting little zoo animals at my weekly Crochet/Knit class! The first one I completed was this adorable little hippo! Continue reading Crocheted Amigurumi Hippo Pattern

Needle Art Mysteries: Knitting

Needle Art Mysteries: Knitting!

Okay guys! It’s Jess here with another round of needle arts to be revealed! I know it’s been two weeks since the last post but I had trouble deciding on which one to research. Right now I am actually helping my sister with some packing of things because of the big move she is making. While we were deciding which part of her place to tackle I suggested her crafting area. She has a lot of crafting supplies as it stands and most of it can be boxed away till she moves. As I was going under her couch to get whatever cat toys had gone under there, I came across some yarn and remembered that I mentioned I would do a knitting mysteries post. That was when I realized that now would be a good time to do the research for it! Continue reading Needle Art Mysteries: Knitting

Stitch N Pitch Phillies Game

Stitch N’ Pitch Phillies Game

The National NeedleArts Association (TNNA) sponsors a Stitch N’ Pitch night at a Phillies game each year and this year the Husband and I went! I packed my yarn and crochet hooks and half-watched the game against the Astros last Wednesday (which we won, btw!) while hanging out amongst other crafty Phillies lovers. It was quite fun!
