Now with patterns!
Just in time for Valentine's Day, a little bit of robot love! WALL-E and Eve are crocheted from wool and acrylic yarn and stuffed with lentils and fiber fill. I even snuck little magnets into their arms so they'll hold hands on their own I'm not very good at embroidery yet, but just picked up an adorable book to help me improve. Hopefully my next try will be a little tidier, especially on the WALL-E logo. They are both my own concocted patterns, so if anyone feels inclined to try them, just let me know and I'll type up what I did.

Interview with Rachel of Cornflower Blue Studio
Hello, all! I’m so (majorly) excited to share this interview with you today . . . Rachel is the genius behind Cornflower Blue Studio (blog and shop). I first saw Rachel on Etsy – a little thumbnail of a fiber sculpture appeared as a “favorite” in my Etsy circle. I was intrigued, clicked, then spent a long, long time looking through her shop. Rachel creates these utterly fascinating sculptures with yarn, sometimes combining them with thrifted frames or vessels.

Owl Granny Square Crochet Pattern
I posted this pattern on my friend Kara's crochet blog, Petals to Picots, back in August in honor of her Granny Month. But I thought I would share it with you again and show you how the owl squares are being used! I made them into an owl bunting for my friend Shannon's owl-themed gender reveal party!

Crochet purse for the Summer
Yippie, I have made my very first summer purse! Okay, actually it is not a new project, a couple weeks ago you could already see some WIP pictures of it, but on the past weeks I was obsessed with sewing. That's why I deferred publication. So time to show you one of my favourite crochet object. It is finally something for myself!!

I spent about an hour standing in the craft store Saturday staring at a wall of yarn in the coolest muted tones and edgy colors ... a palette I would have murdered for (with my bare hands) years ago. Seriously. I'm especially impressed with the acrylic selection.

Don’t miss the launch discount, at the end of this post! Now it’s November, I’m so excited to finally be able to launch my new Christmas patterns that I’ve been developing for the past few months: a perfectly-shaped Gingerbread Man and Girl! Chunky and flat, just like the edible version, my Gingerbread Family are crocheted amigurumi-style (in a continuous spiral) and are almost seamless, so you have minimal sewing to complete them.
Despicable Minion
Minion army anyone? I just had to. I've not seen the movie yet, but the little guys are just so charming. This is only one of them of course, but at the end of the pattern, are some suggestions for making all different personalities of minions to create your very own Minion Army.
