Patterns & Pinterest posts that spark inspiration

If you're annything like me you love a good blanket. Something about being wrapped up in a cozy blanket makes me feel truly at peace.  So when I saw this  Crochet Blanket on Pinterest I was in love. I especially like that rather than all of the squares being of uniform size, they are varied and thus paired with the colors give the blanket an abstract look. 

The squares appear to be solid granny squares (minimal holes are good for retaining heat) but you could also go for a classic granny square. 

Tools & Tips

Simple but effective crafting tools and tricks to work smarter not harder. 

Early on in my crochet journey very little scared me more than running out of yarn in a skein. See at the time I wasn't in the know about what I feel is a very underrated skill: attaching new yarn. So I hopped online and stumbled upon the "Magic Knot". This method for attaching yarn works like a charm and ensures no unraveling (if you do it right). I will admit that there is a learning curve. In fact when I was first getting the hang of it I kept the diagram on my phone's favorites for weeks.

Project

My own personal "Best of" for projects of the past, present, and future. 

I'm sure at this point it's no secret that this time of year is my favorite. So, as soon as I get the chance I get to decorating the whole house accordingly. Of those decorations this Fall Tapestry I designed is high up on the list. Not only do the vibrant colors in the leaves pair wonderfully with the season but this tapestry also serves as a reminder to slow down and enjoy nature's change.
