Such a busy week! I usually put my tree up right after Thanksgiving, but it’s still in storage. My tree is a table top tree I made from a tomato cage. I did a blog post about it too, which is below. Also, check out my Mega Maker Wish List post for some awesome maker gifts!
There are some changes coming & in effect on the blog. You can check out that post below, along with a link to my Lion Brand yarn haul video.

Lots of yarn talk today! Sometimes the yarn rules the conversation! : D
Timestamp 09:24 ~ Finished Object~>
I finished the infinity scarf pattern from my October Mary Maxim Crochet Club. Love the purple sparkly yarn, but it’s huge!
Timestamp 13:22 ~ WIPs ~>
I shared an older bag make from years ago that’s holding my newest WIP. I’m finally making something with my combined yarn! My project is the Cascading Kimono Cardigan from Mama in a Stitch, made with Lion Brand Heartland in Pinnacles & Silk Mohair in Sunset.
I’m still chugging along on my Moorland Stripe Blanket from Attic 24. I only started it 2 years ago, but I will finish it before the end of 2018! : D
I also shared another WIP from 2 years ago. It’s an afghan from the Winter 2016 CAL put on by Beatrice Ryan Designs. It’s made with Red Heart with Love in Tan & Peacock. I asked if I should “wrap it” or “rip it”???

My Darn Good Yarn Club finally arrived with some tweedy silk yarn & jingle bells.
I also shared my yarn haul from Craftsy’s Black Friday sale. Sprightly super bulky is so soft and squishy!
There’s some yarny tutorials coming up the next two weeks! The first one will be about making a bobble stitch, then we’ll look into working with fun fur yarn.

No sewing this week, but I’ll be working on more bags for the shop this weekend. I’m thinking next year will be the year of “finish it” so I can empty some shelves!

No fall thrift store shopping this year – boo!
I stocked up on some jewelry findings for making stitch markers/charms at Loretta’s Beads on Etsy. Some of the lobster claws were way bigger than I expected!
I also shared a paper quilling set I snagged during an Amazon Lightening Deal. Looking forward to using that!
Waiting on the new phone I snagged on Cyber Monday at Verizon!
There was a special surprise at the end, but you’ll have to watch the video to find out what it was!
Hope y’all enjoyed the podcast! Let me know if I left something out!
