We survived 2020

Phew, 2021! Things got crazy, and I got crafty. I am so thankful to every one of you joining in the fun — doing something we love, together — on good weeks and bad weeks. 2021 is still a mystery, but may it be filled with many more designs and all of you enjoying them.

Redwork challenge

I have set myself a digitising challenge. I’ve downloaded a 30 Day Challenge Prompts journal for sketching, challenge yourself to create every day. And rather than sketching, I decided I will digitise. So here we go! Want to see how these designs stitch out?

Ice packs

The other day I decide to make some ice pack, especially now that all the peas in the freezer are being eaten 😉

Bright granny square blanket

In the process of finishing off this granny square blanket I started last year. I find knitting and crocheting to be seasonal, and I normally just put it down and leave it for a few months.

Collars & ties

Falling down the rabbit hole in Pinterest the other day, I started looking at detachable collars and ties. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. So a couple of days ago, I decided to make some. There are only vague pattern online, so I made a few of my own. Now…
