Turning This into That!


I found this fabric and I can't wait to turn this fabric into that chair!!

Anybody have any ideas on what to stuff this with? I was thinking pillows, comforter, maybe finding a place that does custom cushions?  


I did not take any of these pic's. The fabric is from the stores website and the chair is from fb.

What dreams are made of.









To make your own custom yarn is a sign of a true creative mind. With all the colors available now days you can get over whelmed, not me! Think outside the box and draw your ideas from all over. People have knit with yarn, roving, bed sheets, and even rope. But I have never seen anyone knit with fleece until I tried it myself. Go ahead and try to google “knitting with fleece” or “knitting with fleece fabric” look in the image section, go on I’ll wait…. Yeah, nothing comes up.
I have fleece blankets I keep around my house for Lucky to lay on, he likes to paw at it getting it to have just the right lumps before he snuggles in for a nap, I don’t give him too many chances to paw up a nice knit or crochet blanket.
Anyway back on track, fleece is warm, snuggly, durable – when I say that I mean “seem to last forever”, and comes in so many colors like yarn does. After testing so many different widths with the fleece and getting the right size needles I came up with the perfect size I needed to make all these wonderful poufs! They are very sturdy and hold their shape very well. They can take it when a child wants to drag them all over the house because that is their favorite spot to sit.
To all crafters everywhere – think outside the box. That is what dreams are made of! Happy crafting J

Big knit project!




















Working on a big blanket with my new US 50. These are hand crafted from birch wood by Dana. Find her shop here. I am holding 3 strands of Lion Brand thick and quick together to make the stiches big enough. This blanket is going to be so soft and snuggly.

Biggest Crazy balls and Dog soap!


Sale on the biggest crazy ball - Grey








Dog soap is back!! I sold out at the craft fair a while ago and was just so busy with everything else. Now they are back and ready to srubba dub dub your dog to a fresh clean spring! I use this on Lucky and Hank and they love it! I love that it is so easy to use. Just grab a bar, your dog and add water. I really like how you don’t have to fumble with bottles and bath time goes much faster. Not to mention the great light sent that the bar leave is just wonderful! Lucky gets really dry skin so the oatmeal and goats milk just works wonders to help lock in the moisture and keep him flake free.
