My mom had this plastic milk crate sitting outside and I asked if I could keep it. She said yes, of course, and so I decided to turn it into an awesome ottoman. Really, it’s just a foot stool, but I like saying “ottoawesome.” I simply crocheted a cozy for it. Started with a large [...]

Look at what I finished up, today! I crocheted the front on Friday and it sat on my loveseat all weekend. I kept throwing ideas around about completing the pillow. They’d land on uninterested ears (my husband, my kids, etc) but it wasn’t until last night that I decided to use one of my favorite [...] This is the apron I made, yesterday. It’s a small round one. Terribly cute. I’ve had this empty flower pot hanging around for a while, now. I bought it at a thrift store many moons ago. I bought two little succulents, today and I think I may transfer at least one of them to this pot. [...] ..in the goodknits shop. Check it out! Snag one of the ready-made babies, or send me a note requesting a custom cupcake. I have been hanging on to yogurt, dip, and other random plastic containers, just to make these cupcakes. The 8oz (usually a yogurt container) cupcakes will be $10, if you’re interested in a [...] Andrew woke up without a fever, this morning! Huzzah! To celebrate, I finished up, photographed, and listed a new item in the shop. These dark heathered gray slippers are adorned with one of my mini brooches (non-removable) made with vintage yarn and buttons. They should fit size 8-9.5. If you like this style and would [...] Today, I listed 3 pairs of crochet+button MINI-brooches. They’re about an inch in diameter and are SO cute. Head on over to THE SHOP to see the others! They’d be supremely cute on a lapel, or even on a headband. Keep them both or give one to a friend. Why is it that mini always makes [...] I did it. I opened shop on Etsy. I started adding some brooches, last night, as well as the yellow pillow cover. Today, I’ve added some more brooches and some slippers. Two are Mary Jane style and two are basic (but bright and cute!). I wanted a shop full of things that would be affordable, [...] Inspired by a pillow I saw at a thrift store many moons ago. The cover wasn’t removable on that one, though. I used various acrylics from my stash, some new, some vintage. This, along with some brooches, slippers, and another pillow cover or two will be the first items in my shop. I’m both excited [...] It kind of feels like that. At the same time, though, it feels like I’m not getting anything accomplished. I’m trying to make enough to comfortably stock a shop. I have a few pairs of Mary Jane slippers, cushion covers, hats, and yo-yo pins. It just doesn’t feel like that’s enough. That’s a sneak peek [...] I’m participating in a group on flickr–for the LOVE of COLOR week. Today’s color(s): hot pinks, fuschias, raspberry. Living in a house of boys, those colors just aren’t the norm. I thought about going outside, but there aren’t many pretty flowers around here. So…I turned to my yarn stash. I started a pair of Mary [...] |
