Make-a-Long results!
Oh yeah, how did the Make-a-Long go?! I’ve had to dive head-first into packing this week, as our moving day quickly approaches, so I kind of forgot to blog about it sooner… I think many of you had fun with it! I followed along on twitter and facebook a bit througout the day, but didn’tContinue reading “Make-a-Long results!”
Brimming with Color!

Damn Portland, don’t you know it’s Spring already?! So, here is my coffee canContinue reading “My yarn-holding coffee can cubbies!”
Crafting all through the night? Yes please!!
Ok this is an idea I had way back around maybe July of last year… I kept pushing it and pushing it, thinking next month, next month, and now with the move happening so soon, I just really want to do it, finally! What is it, you ask? The idea is: 24 hour Make-a-Long! TheContinue reading “Crafting all through the night? Yes please!!”
