Dreaming in Plaid
I love that we live in a world where so much sharing of ideas is encouraged and the availability of patterns and designs is so varied and abundant! Isn’t it amazing that you can type in what you’re looking for and so many ideas are right at your fingertips? I remember growing up and as I was learning to crochet I was given a few Leisure Arts leaflets where I would actually make every pattern in the book to try to learn and get as much practice as I could. I don’t think I would have believed it back then if someone would have told me how much would be…

Pilgrims Sampler Apron
Pilgrim’s Sampler Apron This apron idea came out of feeling inspired by all of the beautiful ways creators are using Granny Squares to make things like sweaters, skirts, jackets, hot pads, everything! I love the fun and retro feel that comes with adding colorful granny squares to a project. As I was crocheting the squares for this apron, I couldn’t help but think of my Grandma Sherrie, who taught me to crochet and who was also a wonderful cook. After making a few of these Granny Squares, I thought that combining the Granny squares into a sewing project for an apron would be a fun and creative fusion of crochet…

Pine tree views vest
Have you ever created something for one of your kids that took waaaay longer than expected and you overthought it from step one, pulled it out, reworked it a thousand times and still had no idea what you were thinking the whole time making it? This was that project for me. Right up until my beautiful little girl, who… is actually not so little anymore, put it on to get some pictures today. She’s a little bit of perfection in my eyes. Seeing her in this silly vest took my breath away and made me realize…”no one is going to pay any attention to the vest.” And that’s ok. But…

Save the Bees, please
I haven’t done much of an introduction yet to introduce myself, so maybe this post will answer a few questions as to who I am and why I’m creating a blog. Writing and storytelling has proven to be therapeutic and adept at building a culture of understanding where readers can check their musings and thoughts with the authors and through this culture sometimes comes connection. In learning the housekeeping and technical side of blogging, I have neglected sharing many of the parts of myself that come together to make me. I promise, it will come. But to begin with an introduction, I’ll explain a bit about “Why a creativity Blog?”…

Beignet Dreams Pin
This summer, I had the delightful experience of tasting my first Disney Beignet. Put me down as one of the ones dreaming about Beignets everyday forever now. They are such a delicious treat that I couldn’t help but make a crochet pin to wear while they are endlessly floating through my mind. Beignets buried in powdered sugar and dipped in berry sauce and chocolate, these are exquisite! No wonder you pronounce them “Bayn-YAYS!” I made mine with yarn embroidered “powdered sugar” and a Strawberry pin. Strawberry pattern here. I hope you’ll have fun making your pin and wearing it for your Disney inspired fashion. The best part about this pin…
