Trying my hand at weaving
For Christmas this year, I picked out a Cricket weaving loom. You know, because I don’t have enough craft hobbies. The loom is pretty easy to work and comes with a little instruction booklet on how to warp it (the … Continue reading
Teeny tiny Christmas tree

A knitted sweater (or, everything is cuter in miniature)
When I found out I was going to be an aunt (yay!), it was the perfect opportunity to knit my first sweater! I was in a yarn shop and saw a really sweet baby kimono sample hanging next to the sock … Continue reading

How to crochet a barrel cactus
This little echinocactus grusonii cactus is quick to make and, I think, adorable. I used a 3.5mm hook (size E) with Impeccable Worsted yarn in Fern (from Michaels), but any greenish yarn will work. You’ll also need a tiny flower … Continue reading
