Oh hi!! 👋🏻 In case anyone wants to remember

Oh hi!! 👋🏻 In case anyone wants to remember what my face looks like, here’s a relatively recent outtake from before life revolved around a very {big, secret project}. If you don’t recognize this face, I’m Heidi, the yarn crafts Designer behind Hands Occupied. I’ve been blogging about crafts for almost a decade, so if you want a crapload of free patterns and tutorials for knitting, crochet, latch hook and more, check out handsoccupied.com. ❤️💛💙 #handsoccupied #heidigustad #knitting #crochet #latchhook #yarncrafts #macrame #soldotnacrop #handmadewardrobe #croppedsweater

Pilot to O’Hare, I repeat Pilot to O’Hare! ✈

Pilot to O’Hare, I repeat Pilot to O’Hare! ✈️ This is Good Boy, comin’ in for a landing. ✈️ I repeat: Good Boy is wheels down in 5. 🐕 .

Figured {big secret project} time is a good chance to share funny snaps of 🐕 & 🐩 at their derpiest when they happen. Woodrow, pictured, turned 13 in December and is now enthusiastic about trapping people in rooms because he literally falls asleep while attempting to guard the door. 🤷🏼‍♀️❤️ I guess he’s supposed to be part chow, so maybe that explains it? #woodrowthedog #woodrow #chowchow #seniordog #dognaps #dogsofinsta #craftdesign #acolorstory

The purple layer of my ergonomic latch hook handle

The purple layer of my ergonomic latch hook handle hack started to get sticky (it was cheap athletic wrap but colorful, so I HAD to try it first). ❤️💛💙 Added a layer of the higher quality, designed to be reusable, wrap tape I have in my pantry. This is so much better, but so ugly. 😒

P.S. Why must all braces be “flesh color”? It’s called beige and I hate beige. 😌😇 I’d rather have it be known I’m in a dang wrap or brace than try to hide it with lumpy tape that’s two shades darker than my skin. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m just really passionate about not beige and apparently needed to share. Where’s my high quality red tape at? ❤️
