My name is Lisa and I love to make stuff. I have 2 lovely little boys and a huge stash of yarn. These are my little adventures in home life. Who says you can't have an adventure without leaving your driveway?

Let’s reboot.

Hello, friends! Long time no see! I’ve been dealing with a lot of personal stuff since Easter (mainly sickies), so I have not devoted any time to blogging. It’s ok, though. I think we all need a...

heart & hearts

A few years ago, I knit a heart and put it into a scrapbook 12″x12″ frame. It’s on the wall in my little foyer (seen here) and I kind of love it. When I came across this pin of a crochet pineapple...
