Feeling extra “witchie” this week, so working a little something up with this absolutely spellbinding colorway (by the infinitely talented @laineandlotus). I am so shocked at how fast time is flying! Looking forward to the extra long weekend with the kiddies. So happy it’s Friday...ready for warm comfy pants and yarn! ~cheers~ y’all! 🍷 #makermom #makerlife #yarn #yarnaddict #handdyedyarn #knittersofinstagram #knitting #slouchbeanie #basicwitch #octoberproject #longweekend #familytime #cozyweather #tgif #merlotmom https://www.instagram.com/p/CGI2MfRByGg/?igshid=6a7r0zz7cdxu

“Never have I ever”....knit with Boucle yarn! Plenty of crochet experience but this is something new! Here’s to adventures in my crafters realm. As always, very much so looking forward to a long weekend with my lovely crazy family.

Honestly not a fan of the color orange, I am living this striped beanie! All the fall feels 🧡🍁. Can’t believe how fast this week flew. Hoping that time this weekend can “slow down” a bit.

I officially feel red wine can pair with anything...even candy corn! (My healthy Friday night snack-dinner). Today felt very fall and I’m loving it! Looking forward to a (hopefully) productive weekend of family fun and organizing to be ready for school on Monday!

I just don’t care if it’s upper 80s outside....I’m ready for fall! 🍁 I want to knit all the autumn cozy things 🧶, and bake all the yummy pumpkin things 🎃, and apple cider 🍎! But in the meanwhile, just enjoying family happy hour and an extra long (hopefully extra relaxing!) weekend with my crazy crew!

This feels like “October” sun...so it’s not too early for a little “Basic Witch”, right?! Gettin those cozy fall feels! (Which also means I@ in get the house clean/organized for cozy home vibes...gonna be a busy weekend!).

It may be lack of sleep or the crazy busy day or just the insanity that is new life these days, but my brain is definitely a clouded whirlwind right now....can’t even recall if it was a mostly good or mostly bad week, so let’s assume it was mostly good! Hoping for a wonderful and relaxing weekend! I got the kids latch hook rugs, we are starting to get it so soon we can all “do our yarn together” (as the 4yr old says 🥰). But now... wine time!

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t always excited about the holidays... but once in a while there are these sparks of extra cheer anticipating the most magical time of year! I am so in love with this gorgeous “sun star” pattern by @sunshinenl_gallery in what to me is a perfect sparklie winterie fade (by @iceyarn .) ❄️❄️❄️Honestly, it’s been a week. But I have my amazing family, health, everything and anything I could ever need and just need to remain grateful, even when things feel hard. I always know how fortunate I am in love and life!

Not going to lie...I’m pretty over the whole summer thing at this point. I’m not one to “wish” time away, but I’m totally craving cozy hoodie, baking, slow cooker, warm whiskey, roaring fire snuggle weather! Christmas is my spirit animal and fall just gets me so geared up! (We May have started Halloween movies...but it was a rainy morning!) All soon enough! 😊Here’s to a wonderful weekend!

(*photo credit to my 7 year old!) Finished the Hug Shot shawl by @casapinka and I’m very happy—just need to block and she’s complete! Beautiful hand-dyed yarns by the infinitely talented @laineandlotus . Now on to the next project(s) and hello to the weekend, kicking off with our little diy family happy hour!

Home stretch—she’s nearly complete! Been sneaking in as many stitches as I can between momming and wifing and house keeping and desperately trying to over educate myself on all the going ons of the world and more desperately trying to make sense of it all while also staying sane(ish)! It’s all exhausting...but it’s Friday! Really enjoying some “down” time and cocktails, kicking off with home made happy hour. So excited for family filled weekend.

I can’t believe it’s already Friday again! I’m not complaining; I love Friday’s. I just feel like all the days are whizzing by! So glad to get to spend time with the hubby and kids this weekend (in spite of last nights failed attempt at back yard camping 🏕😒). Ready for some cocktails (yarn!) and laziness!

Such a long [emotional] week! Can’t even explain what a relief it is making it to Friday. Decided to become a “runner” this week and doing my best to transition with these new “phases” of “real world” life...(whatever that is...) Very much so looking forward to home-made family happy hour and weekend relaxation. And of course, YARN! 🧶 So in love with these textures!!! TGIF [to the Nth degree!] and ~cheers~ y’all! 🍷 #makerlife #makermom #smallbusiness #makersofinstagram #yarn #yarnaddict #knittersofinstagram #knittingaddict #handdyedyarn #handdyed #supportlocal #tgif #merlotmom https://www.instagram.com/p/CCee1IMBKH6/?igshid=1o1f3uy0bdncj

It’s a “spicy margarita” kind of Friday! I feel like every week is filled with its own challenges of the emotional variety...but we are def ending on a high not. Making progress, regardless of how small, is a victory. *And here is this weeks progress on the “Hug Shot Shawl” by @casapinka (Yarn by the endlessly talented @laineandlotus). Here’s hoping for a wonderful weekend with the fam...and more spicy margs!

With the start of “summer vaca” this week, thought I should start a new project. (*technically this was a “3rd” start, but who’s counting 😜). A stressful week ended on a good note, hopefully to be topped by an awesome weekend! Starting with home-made family “happy hour”!

I decided to learn something new this week. Herringbone has been on my “to learn” list for a while now, and after a couple weeks of feeling “defeated” on multiple levels, I needed a win. And I’m feeling pretty good about it! So glad it’s Friday and really looking forward to a glass (or 2!) of red!

Such a week! With so much being felt it can be hard to find the right words...if “right” words even exist. Just channeling the power of love! Gearing up for family DIY happy hour and crushing on the Christmas vibes from the beautiful yarn (@laineandlotus !!!) and total adorable earrings. Is it Christmas in July time yet? 🤪🎄 TGIF & ~cheers~ y’all! 🍷#makermom #makerlife #madebyhand #crochet #crochetday #crochetearrings #earrings #jewelry #handmadejewelry #handdyedyarn #handdyed #smallbusiness #tgif #christmasprep #christmaholic #spreadthelove #merlotmom https://www.instagram.com/p/CBEXnMnhz-6/?igshid=gp88q8kcfzor
