I’m going to post a cool christmas song a few times a week till Christmas…just for fun. Enjoy!

I re-learned how to crochet a granny-square flower a few days ago, and made a video for my mom and thought I’d share it. I had issues editing/exporting/finding it so, the embed is just the raw footage… You can also click the link and go to my vimeo channel, I made a one minute ending…

I’ve joined with hundreds of people selling things on Etsy today. I’ve been sewing and preparing things to put up for a while,  and today I officially launched. I have three items up there right now, but I’ll be making more in the days and weeks to come. In the mean time, check out my…
