Birthday Wishes The morning dawns cold as the sun rises high While I watch from my place in my bed A contemplative air fills these earliest hours And thoughts without words fill my head As I contemplate silently, tears in my eyes Memories flood through my mind Of birthdays before when I’d rise as today With an air of a …
I know I was going to be posting more frequently, but life things kind of got in the way, and I kind of forgot about my blog. First I visited with my family, and then I finally got my home bakery up and running. I’ve been planning it for almost a year. I was finally able to get started, and …
When I was looking through my project photos, I found this and realized I hadn’t posted it yet. This is another project from probably 2019. My younger sister and I made this for my older sister. We were looking for a very simple and quick skirt for a last-minute Christmas present. We went with this design which is essentially a …
Recently I’ve been thinking about poetry, after finding some poems I wrote many, many years ago. It’s not much, and it isn’t particularly good, but I remember when I wrote it.

Today is the first day of Advent! I know many people have already put up Christmas decorations, while other people are waiting for December 1st to do that. However, today being the 4th Sunday before Christmas Day, it is officially the beginning of the Christmas season, hence the time to start decorating. To start things off, I have a quick …
I recently had the opportunity to test some crochet patterns for other designers. I realized at that time that I haven’t tested any patterns since last December. I guess it was about time to do some again. Here are the four patterns that I tested during September and October. The first one was this cute ghost applique. It’s a perfect …
Recently we had to say goodbye to our beautiful cat, Cocoa. He was 10 years old, going on 11, and he was really quite special. The way he acted and the things he did were just so cute. Firstly, he was generally quiet and patient. When he wanted to go outside, he wouldn’t loudly complain until someone gave him what …
This blouse is another one of my sister’s projects. Several years ago I asked her to make me a blouse for my birthday using the same pattern as my white fitted blouse. I asked that it be pink with a different neckline and short sleeves, and decorated with whatever she thought would look good. I don’t remember if I specifically …
