Sewing with a Dress Form

Hello! Today I’ll be sharing some of the sewing project I’ve been working on recently. Plus a little about sewing with a dress form. Let’s get started! Here you can see both the project and something I’ve been excited about: a dress form! I received it as a Christmas gift a few weeks ago. I haven’t had too much time…

Finished: Cable Knit Scarf

Today on Simply Saturday (and also the first post of 2022: Happy New Year!) we’ll be taking a look at one of my most recent finished projects: a cable knit scarf. Here you can see the scarf, and the pattern. It my have been a little ambitious for my first real knitting project. Especially since I planned on giving it…

How I Decorated for Christmas: Part Two

Hello again! Today I’ll be continuing last Saturday’s post with How I Decorated for Christmas: Part Two. Let’s get started! Jumping right into it, here’s what I placed on top of my second book shelf. It’s not the prettiest Christmas tree, but at night when the fairy lights are on, you can’t tell how sparse the branches are. 😉 These…

How I Decorated for Christmas

Because, yes, it is that time of the year! As I said in a previous post, I decorate for Christmas on December 1st. What I mean by that is that I decorate my own room on December 1st. Usually the decorations in the rest of the house go up before then. 😉 Anyway, let’s get on with how I decorated…

For future reference

So, unfortunately I have again found myself not able to write today’s post. I just didn’t have an opportunity. I thought that I’d write this post just to say that in the next few weeks (since they will likely be very busy) if I’m not able to write a post, you’ll know why. Unless I write otherwise, of course. I…

About Knitting and Crocheting

Today we’re talking about knitting and crocheting. At least, the supplies you need to do them. Let’s get started! This week I had a slight dilemma over what to post for Simply Saturday. The problem is the projects I’m working on are gifts. I wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise, since the recipient might possibly stumble across this blog. 😉…

Finished: A Plaid Jumper

Hello! Here we are again with the second part of last Saturday’s post, Finished: A Plaid Jumper. Let’s get started! So, as I was looking up the photos I’d taken to use for this blog post, I realized I hadn’t taken as many as I thought I had. This post will be a little disjointed as a result, but I’ll…

In the making: A Plaid Jumper

Today I’ll be sharing a project that is currently in the making: a plaid jumper! Let’s get started. First off, I’m using this pattern from Marie Madeline Studio. I searched for the exact pattern on the internet, but unfortunately couldn’t find a link for it. It is twelve years old, at any rate. (I used another one of their patterns…

Crocheted Moose, with a Plaid Sweater

Here we are again! It seems like a long time since I’ve written a blog post. But anyway, here we are with a finished project: A crocheted moose, with a plaid sweater. I made it for one of my nephews for his first birthday. Before we get too far into this post, let’s give credit where credit’s due. Here’s a…

Things to make with Apples

While this is by no means a definitive post on things to make with apples, I will list a few of the things we made ourselves. Let’s get started! (Oh, and if you’re interested in other desserts, here’s a link to another post on the subject.) First up, the applesauce that mom’s been making. We bought a bushel of apples…
