Since the last Picks of the Week, there’s been a post sharing some of the inspiration for my upcoming book, and there is currently a yarn review & giveaway open for entries here.

ON MY PODCAST, VERY SERIOUS CRAFTS 

“In season 3, episode 9, Haley gets organized (again), Heidi braids and weaves with unexpected materials, and Mollie gets a bit self-conscious about her pronunciation of the word embroidery.” 

“In season 3, episode 8 of the Very Serious Crafts Podcast, Heidi has a Netflix + craft recommendation, Mollie hunts for history, and Haley goes bananas. (Literally.)”

Don’t forget to check out Very Serious Crafts on Patreon.

Working on a sample for some upcoming videos. It’s an overcast day with intermittent sunshine & I have a scruffy little sidecar. 🐶 Can’t complain!

Peg boards and craft room organization go together Peg boards and craft room organization go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, as you can see, do latch hook tools and screwdriver organizers! 🪛 
.
I think this trick translates to any tool with a thick handle, so leather working tools, punch needles, print making tools, etc. should work! What other tools am I, a needlecrafter, blanking on right now?

Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies, so getting a few hung in my new studio has been a priority. Here’s my first attempt. 🔨 
.
Details: This pegboard panel is for organizing my knitting needles, latch hook tools, sewing thread, etc. It doesn’t need to hold much weight, so I didn’t anchor this into a stud - just used basic drywall anchors. I’ve also got a set of two 2’x4’ panels for another spot in my studio, and those will need a stud/more than 3 drywall anchors. Wish me luck!

It’s time for the annual Hands Occupied new year It’s time for the annual Hands Occupied new year update, and for the first time in years, I feel like I have some clarity about what I’m doing next. ❤️ Head to the blog to read all about it, the 1ink is where you’d think.

June’s face is giving, “What fresh heck is thi June’s face is giving, “What fresh heck is this?” 😆

June’s big ears can get cold in winter, so I’m improvising a doggie ear warmer/hood for her. What are the odds she tries to shred it immediately when it’s done?
