All the crochet related and unrelated chaos!
If you’ve known me for any amount of time, you know that staying organized is nooooot really a huge skill of mine 😅
And when my office was moved to the basement all forms of organization was completely thrown out the window…
This brings us to last nights progress >>
<< and to where we’re at currently. I am THRILLED with how it’s all coming together.
It might not look “pretty” but I’m working with what I’ve got available and I’m happy with the outcome!
Final look hopefully soon! ❤️
After a full day (one and off cause mom life) this is how my mess currently looks.
Still quite a bit left to do. Unfortunately a good most of my yarn will be staying in totes, cause well basement. And after my sisters recent unfortunate debacle, I’m not risking it!
I still need to roll up all my fabrics so they’re better seen on the fly and organized.
I did also feel comfortable enough to leave out the Big Twist I got from Joann’s closing. It’s not a ton, but at least it still looks pretty and I feel more put together.
If I’m lucky, I SHOULD hopefully be able to finished cleaning up and organizing the remainder of my chaos today! 🤞
As amazing as it would be… Not all of us have that beautiful back drop full with cubes stuffed full of yarn. I did once, but my daughter wanted her bedroom back 🙃 One day I’ll have a space again, but for now this is what I’m working with.
I’ve been meaning and needing to go through my trove but just looking at it honestly overwhelms me almost immediately… And clearly things have gotten REALLY out of hand.
So this, this has been, my day. How’s yours going..?
With the words of wisdom from my husband, “just pick a spot and start there.” I have started the very VERY slow process of getting organized. Or well as organized as I can be given the limited space.
Wish me luck, patience, and maybe send a map 🤷♀️

With previous skirts, I’ve done this the extremely time consuming hard way 🫣 Well not anymore!!
I may not have the best setup for cutting fabric…Well being honest I have no real setup at all. So cutting my skirts has been a bit of a headache and why I really haven’t made a new dress in a while like this.
Well after perusing the TubeYou 😏 for tips/tricks on how to do something else. Cause YES! I AM LEARNING, cause also yes…I totally make up 80% of what I’m doing on the fly 🤪
Annnnyways! After watching a few videos on YouTube for proper ways to do a waistband. I decided out with being complicated and measuring everything EVERY SINGLE TIME, for literally EVERY SINGLE PIECE and in with making my own dang stencils!
Now instead of losing my mind, I can just simply pin down my stencil to my fabric and cut! Easy Peasy! Now I just need a better pair of scissors,, as mine have been used for everything BUT fabric 😅
I have a vision…Let’s see if it plays out!
So I’ve got the top finished! …shameless plug… Pattern from Spirit+Thread Crochet – Willow Top Pattern.
Now to just add my C3 Chaos Spin to it even more (I changed how I did my straps compared to the pattern already) and make what I hope to be the most perfect matching Skirt!
Come tomorrow all listings on Etsy for physically printed items will be removed temporarily as I will be taking time away for some vacations and time with family.
All currently listed STL files will REMAIN available in the shop! This is only for items I need to physically print myself!
Don’t wait to place your orders!! Again ZERO printing will be done until AUGUST!
Just a last little thing, so I know…For subscribers! This post I will be pushing to your emails, as it’s important and needs to be seen. But curious about future posts!
Cause I’ve got you!
Need a specific pair of eyes for a certain character? Well I’ve got you there too!
No more using felt and hoping the glue holds…It’s honestly not very safe anyway.
And PERSONALLY, I can’t stand the look of glued on felt eyes…I said what I said 🫣
Just some examples above of recent requests!
Do YOU need something or have a request? Reach out via Etsy to place a custom order!
Oh and YES! I can size to your specifications needed for your projects!
You listening?? Here’s the thing..
While I absolutely LOVE the weight of this yarn and how incredibly soft it is…IT SPLITS LIKE SOMETHING INSANE!
Yes, I will continue to use at least what I have on hand…However, I’m not entirely sold on the prospect of purchasing more.
Half Double Crochets are currently the bane of my existence
That is all.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
A good day for some designing!!
If you’ve been following my chaos for any length of time, then you should know that I can design and 3D print eyes direct/custom requested characters.
For todays new designs we’ve got..
I honestly LOVE being able to recreate and make the eyes for a lot of the popular/favorite characters! Seeing your creations really come to life with such a small thing brings me the absolute most amount of joy from what I do! So Thank You!
Do you have a character you need eyes for? Or even other addons maybe? I am here and happy to help! So please reach out and lets see what we can do! ( I am currently limited to items for 4 colors only!)
Lastly, as my list of available characters has grown…Soon I’ll be taking the time and breaking them down into their own listings on Etsy. As it’s currently set up, I feel a lot are getting lost and not even seen. So watch for updates there!
Here’s a list of characters you can find currently all in the same place
