In this Black History month, I can’t get enough of the yarn I was able to assist in creating: “Noble Heritage.” Head on over to last year’s post, Enter Noble Heritage, to see that incredible story. (I’m still pinching myself.) Utilizing this yarn, and the successful transformation into the original design of the necktie, of…
Tea & Knitting: A Wonderful Combo
Here in the United States, January 12th is National Hot Tea Day. I chuckle when I see that. Why, you ask. To me, every day is hot tea day. Loads of people reach for a cup of coffee in the morning. Not me. Hot tea is, definitely, my comfort beverage of choice. Some may say…

July – we’ve passed the halfway point in 2023, which means Christmas is right around the corner. Yes, that’s right, I’ve got Christmas on the brain already. When I think of Christmas these days, there is one story from 2021 that always comes to mind. A story that touched my heart. A story that I…

“Stella! Stella!”
No, sorry, I’m not going to be talking about the play, “A Streetcar Named Desire,” if that’s what you were hoping for. In the early stages of my re-introduction to knitting, I kept things pretty simple. A ratio of one ball of yarn to one project. There were no patterns followed or written. I picked…
Enter “Noble Heritage”
This Black History month, I can’t help but reflect on my journey through the crafting community. I consider myself to be extremely blessed to have grown up surrounded by incredibly talented and creative people in BOTH sides of my family. Outside of my family, however, it seemed hard to find people of color in the…
How it Started…How it’s Going
May I first say, welcome to this incredible journey we’ve been on; thank you for stopping by. And it has definitely been a journey. Let’s travel back in time to when I picked the needles back up again… I already had a plethora of hobbies monopolizing much of my craft space, but did that stop…
