This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer! Summer is the perfect time to pull out all of your red, white, and blue decorations since there are so many American holidays like Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Independence Day. Two of these holidays are known for being popular days for cookouts and BBQs.
I really like to try new yarns I stumble upon. Earlier this spring I stumbled upon the Bernat Blanket Color Pooling yarn. Of course, I had to try it. I ended up getting 4 balls of the yarn in the buffalo plaid color.
I have been spending a lot of time at home with my husband. One thing I have noticed is I’m spending a lot more time doing crafts and puzzles and also I am drinking a lot of wine. So I thought it would be fun to make a list of my favorite things for crafts and wine.
I am taking inspiration from Oprah. Every year she would have an episode of…
This week I’m off work, but my husband is still working from home. Normally, if I was off work I would be doing something outside our house, but due to our current stay at home order, I am getting to try new things. Today, I tried the Cricut Infusible Ink for the first time.
This past week has been crazy here in Ohio. On Thursday, all schools were canceled for at least three weeks due to COVID-19. As a result, you may be looking for things to help entertain your kids while you attempt to work from home. This is a perfect time to introduce your kids to crocheting.
If you are crafty like me, you are probably trying to make most items for your wedding on your own. However, if you are like me you are probably also panicking because you don’t have enough time to get everything done! I found Etsy as a great place to find items for our wedding that were unique! Here is a list of my 9 favorite guest books for a wedding.
Football is one of my favorite sports. Growing up in Missouri, that meant that there was only one team to root for, the Kansas City Chiefs! Keep in mind, this wasn’t always easy. I remember many rough seasons, but recently the tides have turned.
One yarn that caught my eye recently was the Bernat Velvet yarn. I used it to make a two different projects, a Christmas stocking and scrunchies.
Last night clocks fell backward as Daylights Saving Time came to an end. My favorite way to keep warm in the winter is working on a new blanket.

Fall is just around the corner. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, there is football, apple cider, bonfires, and boot and scarf season officially begins! This scarf is perfect for the fall season!
This scarf is inspired by the Hogwarts Houses in Harry Potter. It can be made in a weekend easily for a Halloween costume. This scarf uses a primrose stitch. This video gives a short overview of how to make this stitch. I think it gives this scarf a feminine touch and also makes it a little different from the other Hogwarts inspired scarves so you can wear it all fall and winter long.
You can find a printer-friendly version of this pattern here. We also have kits for sale for this project. You can select your favorite house or take a chance with our magic sorting hat option.
