THINGS WE LOVE
- Shhhh! I’m Counting Mug ☕ This has become an absolute favorite of ours, not only because mugs are a treasured item in the kitchen, but because the “Shhh I’m Counting” says everything we were thinking!
- Yarn Downsizing 🧶 We are always on the lookout for a good stash-buster and it doesn’t always mean knit or crochet patterns. There are tons of other crafts you can do with yarn but if you’re looking to downsize relatively quickly- there’s always selling, donating, and swapping with your fiber friends! This is a great post on how to do all of the above! We’re a huge fan of the idea of a swap… it’s like shopping without spending any money!
- Fiber Podcasts 🎧 There aren’t many fiber inspired podcasts out there so when we found one it’s our duty to share with you, our friends! A lot of the time podcasts become outdated relatively quickly, which is why this one is great. The information stays current no matter when you listen! You never know when you’re going to hear some fiber advice that will change the way you knit or crochet!
- Sticker Making 🌈 The sticker making world is such a fun place to explore! You just have to try it! Just imagine getting on your iPad, doodling, and then printing your own creations to stick on your water bottle or laptop case! This is a great tutorial that teaches you how to get started!
- Woman Woodworkers 🔨 We are all about trying new crafts. Obviously knitting and crochet are our favorites BUT we’ve been researching a bit of wood working lately! Watching women create their own handmade wooden furniture is so inspirational! Just imagine making your own pieces to showcase in your beautiful home. Check out this post on the 10 women woodworkers that are breaking barriers!
