I skipped last weeks WIP Wednesdays, not because I didn’t have any projects on the go, but because I was having troubles with my computer.

Actually I’ve skipped a few WIP Wednesdays because I hadn’t started new projects, …
Easter Craft #2: Wood Canvas Art
Next up for Easter Crafts is a Wood Canvas Art. I’m not too fond of the name but my husband and I have been having a hard time trying to describe this craft. Regardless of our naming issues, it’s still super easy to make and such a cute craft when finished. Wood Canvas Art Supplies: Canvas (3 of them 5×7) …
Easter Craft #1: Footprint Easter Bunny
It’s almost Easter and that means it’s time for some Easter Crafts. And this year I get to incorporate baby (and kid) crafts into the mix because I have a baby to use.

6 Months Old
It’s hard to believe that my baby is already 6 months old (well he was 6 months yesterday). That it’s only been 6 months and there are already things I miss. Like his tiny newborn clothes and how he slept all the time. I miss most how he used to nap on my chest. It was the best feeling ever. …

How to Fix Dropped Stitches
When I was a newbie knitter I always dropped stitches. I used to be scared to find a dropped stitch because that meant that I had to tink or frog my work to get to my mistake. And heaven forbid I rip the stitch down a few more rows while I was tinking or frogging. They used to give me …

WIP Wednesdays – The Forgotten Ones
I wasn’t planning on writing a WIP Wednesday post today seeing as I haven’t had a chance to knit or crochet much since last week.
