I wasn’t planning on making knitting/crochet specific goals but the more I thought about it the more I liked having my progress documented. Knitting goals (and crochet goals) provide direction when I’m stumped on what to make next. Surprisingly, that happens a few times a year. I want to make so many things and I don’t know where to begin. …
2017 Goals
In hope of having a more productive year, I’ve decided to continue with yearly goals. My 2017 goals will be slightly different than previous years. I used to exclusively make knitting goals, however I’m going to branch out a bit. That means goals for my blog, Etsy shop, family life and of course knitting and crochet. I’m looking forward to …

2016 Goals – Review
2016 was an interesting (well crappy) year. Our family has gone through a major loss and finding our footing with the new family dynamics has been difficult. For this reason I never planned to do a 2016 goals review. However, I did make goals at the beginning of the year so it’s only fair that I talk about how close I …
2.5 hour Crochet Baby Blanket
I love crocheting and knitting baby blankets. Not that you didn’t know that already. Sometimes a knit blanket can sit on my needles for a few weeks. In order to give myself a blanket break, I also work on a few smaller projects while it’s in progress. However, this blanket can be finished in a fraction of the time. I’m …
Bumpy Road Baby Blanket | New Pattern Available
I’ve finished the third baby blanket. I’m calling it the Bumpy Road Baby Blanket. It was lovely to knit. The repeats were easy enough that once I had them memorized I could knit and watch tv. The ultimate goal. 🙂 At this point (with James) I’m a sucker for easy (or easier) patterns. Simple stitches where my mind doesn’t have to …
James | One Year Old
I can’t believe it, I now have a toddler. That’s right, my baby is now a one year old. A year ago I was holding my sweet little newborn. Today, that same newborn is taking his first steps.

James at 11 Months Old
Today my baby is 11 months old. I can’t believe it. I know I’ve been saying this at every month but time does go quickly when they are young. In the blink of an eye my little newborn turned into an always moving 11 month old. James at 11 Months Old He can climb the stairs. He loves climbing the …
2016 Goals Updated
Surprisingly I’ve been able to work on some of my 2016 goals this summer. I’ve been able to accomplish more this year than any previous year. It’s been quite motivational when I see the progress I’ve made. It’s slow progress but progress none the less. I have to remind myself that these are yearly goals and I still have 4 …
