It might be that my last kid is getting older and I miss shopping for all of the fun school supplies, but I got inspired to try making a School Supply “Cake”, and accidentally made 3 of them before I could stop. I have included step-by-step pictures, instructions, and supply lists if anyone else wants …
Crochet-along: Winter Advent Patterns
At a time of year that can be darker and filled with stress, I thought it might help to do something more fun. I will be releasing a new crochet pattern for the first 24 days in December. Although this may be more of a Christmas tradition, the items created will be more winter-themed to …
Redmond Pride 2023
If you missed me in Woodinville, I hope you made it out for Redmond Pride. It was a really warm day, but we had an amazing time! I love that so many local communities are starting up their own Pride celebrations and that they are spread out past June. It is important for folks to …
My Laundry Room
Okay, confession time! I had the best of intentions. I measured, designed and purchased everything I needed OVER A YEAR AGO! Maybe it was the logistics of risking my laundry being out of commission for too long, or my plumbing anxieties, but I am determined to conquer this long-overdue project: adding cabinets to my laundry …

The allure of the Renaissance Faire has captivated hearts for generations. These enchanting events transport us to a bygone era filled with chivalry, artistry, and a hint of magic.

Woodinville Pride 2023
I can’t believe it has been a year already since the first Woodinville Pride Event. The 2nd annual Woodinville Pride Event was held at Wilmot Gateway Park in Woodinville on June 10th. It was a little damp, but it was an amazing event! The event moved from DeYoung Park to the bigger Wilmot Gateway park …
Crafting Spotlight: Crochet
When I was 5 years old, my mom started teaching me to crochet. Unfortunately, I used the wrong stitch on the little potholder swatch I was making, so she pulled it all out. I believe I threw a tantrum and stomped off. Two years later she came home from work and I was just sitting …
Pride 2022
I was privileged to have the opportunity to participate in the first annual Woodinville Pride festival near me this year. It was great to have somewhere more local to take the kids, where they could wander around a bit more (a long as they were with their buddy). I think it also helps for everyone …
Crafting Spotlight: Sewing
I remember taking my first sewing class way back in 7th grade. We made pillows in the shape of letters, similar to these ones. We also made pillows shaped like airplanes and skateboards with felt appliqued details. I think we also made clothing, like wrap-around skirts, but those weren’t nearly as memorable. It is funny …
