With school almost over and the bright and happy summer ahead, I'm prepping for my road trip up north. I've had my eye on some essentials that I'd love to take along for my trip! * Gre...
. . . was made up of sliders, chicken kabobs, beer, key lime pie, dips in the pool, long naps, sunny mornings and rainy afternoons, shaggy dogs, and family. Hope everyone had a lovely Memorial weeken...
. . . was pretty much a lazy one. Seems that all it did was rain. The end of May always welcomes rain in these parts. I stayed most of the day in my pjs in my craft room working on a new chevron blan...
From time to time, Ill be sharing some bits of craziness that Im really into (just a little window into some of the bizarre shades of myself!). One tidbit of weirdness is the psychedelic/surreal IFC ...
Starting a new blanket always gets delayed because I'm constantly debating color schemes. I'm that girl you see in the yarn aisle, staring at skeins, picking up indecisively one skein after...
This is another baby/lap blanket I completed a couple of weeks ago (I'm on a roll with these). I decided to create my own basic trim. I call it "tiny waves." This trim is great to use ...

I've got a serious problem with hoarding anything related to crafts, that includes collecting supplies that I have no use for . . . yet. I'm sure you've been guilty of the same deed . ...
We're about 3 weeks away until the end of the school year. My students are bubbling with anticipation! But before we hit summer break, I always love to squeeze in one last fun writing assignment...
I hope everyone had a happy and most importantly relaxing Mother's Day. I wasn't able to see my mom for this holiday (she lives up north) but I'll be visiting her for Memorial Day (yay...
I've been a busy bee. For the past week, I've been working behind the scenes of my blog, trying to create a look I'm happy with. I thought about doing a blog makeover for a really long...
Remember 2 posts ago, the crackled hearts I was making? Well, they've transformed themselves into lovely "heartfelt" brooches. I make my flowers from the scraps of my bigger sewing pro...
All freshly stitched! I'm working on a baker's dozen. Been pacing myself, so I'm embroidering them 4 at a time. I've realized that if I break down my project into parts, it's...
Been so busy with so many little projects that I haven't had time to breathe! It's mainly due to a craft show that I had this past weekend (more on that later), but I'm also in the pro...
March got me inspired to crochet a new blanket (did you know March is national crochet month? I was clueless until about 2 weeks ago!). My last big crochet project I completed right before the new ye...
I haven't done a post on bulletin boards in ages, so here's one for all my dedicated teachers! BTW, there is exactly 64 more days left of teaching and only 5 days left 'til Spring Brea...
As mentioned in my previous post, one of the things that had kept me away from my little virtual home was the major move to a new place at the beginning of the year. It's amazing how much "...
Hello again! There's been a lot that happened in the last two months which kept me away. One main reason was that I moved to a new apartment and I was basically overwhelmed for awhile. I also ha...
Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year! I always like to welcome the new year with a look back at the old. Here's a review of my favorite craft posts from the past year! Crochet Coin Pouches - J...
Hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas! I've spent the last 5 days at my parents and it's been quite relaxing. We had our traditional "Noche Buena" feast on the 24th and unwr...
These candles were a bit of a fluke . . . I had bought some doll pins with the purpose of making some angel ornaments, but I wasnt really convinced with the idea. My thoughts kept going back to...
While decorating my tree, I knew I had to make some snowmen, but I had no idea how to go about making them. After much thought, I took out an unopened block of paperclay which I had bought a while ba...
I love holly and thought it would look great on my tree. Here's a quick and easy way of making your own holly! Materials: - white felt (or the color of your choice) - ribbon/ ric rac - glitt...
Been quiet around here. For that I do apologize. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Mine was very relaxing and I got to spend a lot of quality time with my family! Now that Thanksgiving is beh...
Rummaging through my closet, I came across my collection of granny squares I had crocheted a couple of years back (over 200 to be exact!). Creating these squares really made me fall in love with croc...
Although I'm a bit bummed that Halloween is over, I'm still looking forward to Thanksgiving and continuing my fall-themed projects. Today I worked on some pretty fabric coasters. Like my fa...
This past Friday, I got to do my favorite Halloween tradition: making a jack-o-lantern. My bf and I save a day before Halloween to carve a pumpkin, bake pumpkin seeds, and enjoy watching a scary movi...
As you may already know, I'm a huge horror flick fan and like any true horror fan I'm always in search of the next big scare. Many moons ago, I discovered that Asian countries such as Japan...
I have a confession. I'm a big horror fan. Okay, that's a bit of an understatement, I'm a BEHEMOTH fan! It's a bit of an oxymoron if you think about it since I love to sew up cute...
Even though South Florida doesnt have a true fall season, theres still a shift in temperatures as we slink closer to November. We move away from hurricane season, the days dont seem so humid and the ...
