Over the years I’ve collected a range of unique

Over the years I’ve collected a range of unique vintage (often crafty) items, many handmade by family. Since the sunrise hit this creative corner just so this morning, it seemed like the perfect reason to share some favorites from my collection of curiosities. ✂️

In this shot, you can see:

> a decorative wood shelf made by my grandpa.

> my great-grandma’s silver clarinet that her son turned into a lamp for me in high school 😉.

>still camera from that same grandpa. Plus my instax & my husband’s 16mm.

>Wooden scissors holder in the shape of a bird that doubles as a pin cushion and features a rotating thread holder. Not sure who made it but it’s been painted 800k times. 😆🧵

Am I the only weirdo who has items like this laying about? Who else has weird murder bird scissors holders from their sweet grandma?

This dang Yarniversal Championship Belt just makes

This dang Yarniversal Championship Belt just makes me so happy! Even more now that it’s helped me connect with fellow crafting & wrestling crossover fans. ❤️

On the blog today - link is in bio, you can take a look at a bunch more process photos that didn’t make the Design Diary video. For maker-designer types in particular, the post has detail shots & a full supply list. I’m so happy with how the @knit_picks Wool of the Andes colors worked out combined with some neutral handspun! ✂️🧶

Happy Wrestlemania weekend, folks!!! 🎊 It’s c

Happy Wrestlemania weekend, folks!!! 🎊 It’s coincidentally International Punch Needle Rug Hooking Day today, so I’d be remiss not to share a first look at this project finished JUST in time to wear while I watch some rasslin’ on a pirate ship in a football stadium in Tampa! 💪🏻 I’m excited to watch tonight’s women’s matches the most. Eee!

This is just a preview - after jab 2.0 tomorrow (feeling grateful 🙏🏼), I’ll be editing together a vlog about the design process for this wooly waist cover. Sometimes it’s hard to know how to make some of your wilder craft ideas come to life. Stuff you’ll never find a pattern for, you know? I’ll finish editing that ASAP, but I might take a few days to edit if I feel like trash from 💉 and only want to watch wrestling and wrestling YouTube for a day or two. 😂

A look at the halo on the back of my wrestling-ins

A look at the halo on the back of my wrestling-inspired punch needle project! It’s interesting to see how fuzzy the handspun beige yarn is compared with the primary color sections of @knit_picks Wool of the Andes Bulky. ❤️💛💙🤎
