I was having writers block and so I took a break and soon enough it was 3 in the morning and I had impulsively sewn together a tiny mouse you’re welcome

I crocheted this adorable bunny wearing a flower crown! It's not the most inspired concept, but I just wanted to do a project that was peaceful, springy, and something I could put extra love into crafting (all those tiny leaves! ^_^' )! Credit to HappyBerryCrochet where I got the pattern for these cute little flowers!

god my favorite part of knitting/crocheting/etc is watching string become fabric. crumpling it in my hands. this fabric would've never existed had I not willed it into being. it isn't fabric, it's time made physical. made material. isn't that the high of crafting? you mold time between your hands and put it into other people's hands. my least favorite part is when my cat tries to cram the whole yarn ball into his mouth

A HUGE project with a LOT of pieces. I made a couple of tweaks to the pattern I used, including fashioning a jetpack by myself. I might be going a bit cross-eyed. Din’s a bit nakie on the back tho

Pattern I used: https://piglovesmouse.com/the-mandalorian/#jp-carousel-9851

Blazey the pet dragon from the movie Onward

She was my summer project for my niece that took from June till August with multiple times where I tore her apart and restarted. Pretty happy with how she turned out. The eyes are the fave ones I’ve done.

Realized I never shared the finished project

Friendly reminder as we come into the holiday gift-making season to

Take breaks

Stretch your hands

Straighten your shoulders

Stay hydrated and snacked

Not feel obligated to make gifts for just anyone, especially toxic people in your life! If someone is a butthead to you, you don't actually owe them the love of your handmade goods. The things you make (and yourself!) are worth more than that

✨Happy making!💛

Reminder for all frustrated knitters and crocheters:

It’s ok to mess up on knitting/crochet projects

it’s ok to make mistakes

it’s ok to make something and not like it

it’s ok to practice and make scraps, not all of ur work has to be a project

You’re learning, it’s ok. No one starts out as an master crocheter/knitter.

The Life of a knitter/crocheter

Knitters always getting asked what they’re crocheting

Crocheters always getting asked what they’re knitting

Yarn has taken over your house, the living room, bedroom, office, kitchen, EVERYTHING

Finding yarn needles around your house almost as you find bobby pins(including tucked into your hair)

“I just had those scissors- where are those sissies?” *in your hand/lap the entire time*

Following a pattern and realizing you messed up 10 rows back and you have to go back to fix it.

Always getting asked “can you make me this?” And it being the opposite of what you do

Always getting asked “can you make me this?” While having 200 other projects lined up but saying yes anyways.

Making baby blankets/hats/booties/onesies for every friend/acquaintance that has a baby

Take “just a few minutes” to knit/crochet and end up taking three hours

“There’s a sale at the craft store” 😈
