- Life Update!
Been keeping pretty busy lately..
Have several custom Cocoon Cardigans I need to do. (Peek the 1st finished one 😉) plus 2 more…The second is currently in the works (see below 😏)
Had to take some time and pull all my items from the shop I’ve been working with. Unfortunately the location is changing hands, and my work is no longer on brand for the new owners. Big sad! But it was a great experience while I had it ❤️
On top of all that… I now have a full time job that keeps me away from crocheting quite as much as I would like to.
Don’t get me wrong, I do actually enjoy my job and the changes life has brought my way. Still, nothing beats a lazy day crocheting haha!
I have taken some time these past few days to update my available patterns. Some are listed currently as free as they are pretty old patterns and do need some TLC. So grab them while you can because some won’t stay free forever.
Whiiiiiich brings me to my next update!
The Alpine Dreams Crop Top/Bralette pattern is FINISHED! And is currently in testing right now! Release to be in July!
Super secret info 😉😏😉 I will release the pattern direct to the site for Subscribers Only (be sure to subscribe at the bottom if you haven’t yet!) to receive a free copy for the first 24hrs! After that it will be listed along with all my other patterns currently available…Which yes, I finally plan to begin working on updating most of my much much older patterns and giving them a good refresh to get them back online!
I think that’s everything this time around!
Enjoy the finished dress I made using the new pattern (coming soon 😉) and I will have the original dress that even made me finish the design for the top done in the next coming days!
I WILL BE BETTER ABOUT POSTING!!! Life has just been such a roller coaster, it’s been hard finding my footing…But I’m finally in a better place! Honestly even better than I was before that S*it show began 😅
Thanks to everyone that has stuck around through all the crazy and chaos! You all rock!
- Life Has Certainly Been Lifing…
Welp…When Sh*t hits the fan, it really does hit all 4 walls 🥴
I had to take a break for a while from the hook due to some current crazy life changes/circumstances.. My husband worked for Spirit Airlines.. So yea, things have been a bit tense this past week and my brain just hasn’t been all there.
I am getting back to work today on the Alpine Dream top, so hopefully pattern test call coming soon for that!
I’m working it up in my thread, so it’s taking a bit longer to make sure the instructions translate to any size or yarn used.
Lastly, due to current life situations…I’m unfortunately going to need to downgrade my blog to the free version as I currently can no longer afford the fees to keep things Ad Free. So yes, for the time being, Ads will be seen on my posts from now on. I apologize for this in advance, but it’s better than completely having to shut things down.
If the Ads bother you in anyway, I totally understand if you choose to unsubscribe. No hard feelings here ❤️
Thanks for being here!
- Things Take Time
Hello on this Snowy 🥴 Sunday afternoon!! It’s been a crazy couple days over here in C3 Headquarters…Meaning my brain 😅 Hahahaha
Friday’s Ladies Night event didn’t really go as well as hoped, but given the circumstances and the fact I was bringing something totally random and new to a ladies “shopping” night out I guess I can’t complain to much.
I did have some friends come to the pop-up class for making scrunchies! They LOVED it, and now have the itch to crochet even more things!
This is exactly what I’m hoping for! I want to spread the love of the world of crochet. I want to share my knowledge and get more people into the art of it all.
Crochet is so much more than just “tying knots around a hook.” It’s fun, it’s relaxing (for the most part,) it’s ART!
Crochet has brought my life so much joy, and I just hope to bring that same joy to others! I’ve never seen myself as a teacher, but after doing this little event it’s all I want to do. With crochet I mean…No way I’m capable of being a Real teacher 🤣
But seeing the excitement and joy on those faces when something finally clicked…ABSOLUTE BEST FELLING! Pure happiness, joy, excitement for them, adoration…All the words.
I feel like I might’ve finally found my place in the crochet world, and I really hope things keep looking up moving forward. With all that said…This Saturday November 15th is my first official day of classes!!
Crochet 101 begins at 11am
Crochet 102 following at 1:30pm
and rounding the day out with Amigurumi Basics at 4:30pm!It’s going to be a long and busy day but I am so ready for it!! So if your in the Battle Alley (Holly, MI) area with nothing to do, come take a class!
- Whirlwind!
What’s a stronger word than chaotic? Cause I think we’ve moved into a new realm beyond that! But in the best way! Let’s update on the past couple weeks!
In the midst of all the things I’ve now got on my plate, I did get Jack finished! It’s been a year since I made him originally and I honestly forgot how time consuming he actually is to make.
Even with a sewing machine, those stripes took FOREVER! But always so totally worth it!
To hand stitch those stripes with yarn just isn’t the right look. They look way too chunky and not the “pinstriped” look I want. So using a sewing machine to get the nice crisp lines is the only way!
Moving on from Jack, I’ve now got 3 NEW customs I’m working on!
Natural Toned Hexi Cardi 
What will be a Goofy Dragon 
Yep! Another Falkor! I’ve been requested to make a dragon I previously made SEVERAL years ago! It’s a pattern I’ve had in my archives from quite a while, so I’m unsure if I can find the original links to share. I’ll do my best to find them so I can share!
Falkor honestly speaks for himself!
The cardigan request comes from a client that saw a different one I’ve made that I currently have up in a shop! But she wanted some more neutral/natural tones, but also wanted long sleeves (original one was short sleeved.) But THAT being said!… Onto the BIG UPDATE!
I have teamed up with a local shop in my area and not only do I have some of my physical items up in her shop…I’M OFFERING CLASSES!!
This is a HUGE deal for me, and so exciting and nerve wreaking and just all the words in between..
I love sharing my knowledge and all the things I’ve learned. So many things I didn’t know when I first started, tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way. I’ve become a vast wealth of knowledge and now I can finally share it!
This Friday Nov 7th, our downtown area is hosting a Ladies Night and I’m doing my first Pop-up event! Kind of like a “Meet Me” orientation ish setup. I’ve got “wanting to learn”/beginner level crochet kits ready to go for making scrunchies! Cause how is that not perfect beginner option for ladies night!
So if you find yourself in the area of Downtown Holly Mi, the night of the 7th…come check out all the happenings going on for the ladies from 5pm-8pm!
IF you are planning to come and want a kit, I highly recommend signing up early!
I have a limited number of kits premade, and I’m hoping they all sellout!
Check out my Class schedule for the month of November, and signup for your Ladies Night kit here!
If you were to sign up for a Crochet Class, what is it you would like to learn most??
Let me know in the comments!

I don’t crochet much anymore. But if I did sign up for a class thing I would want to learn to make would have to be the fused shadows from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. That would be very hard, but I would love to see it done.

What’s on my mind Facebook asks??
Well lately, yet again, I’ve been daydreaming about having my own brick and mortar storefront. Not necessarily to sell my finished makes (cause duh of course!)
But a place for all crafts and hobbies. A place for ONLY handmade items to be sold from other local artists. A place for meetups for different crafts. A place for workshops. A place for sharing, learning, and loving the different ways to create art.
A local place for all hobbiests, with paper and paints. Stickers and beads. Printers and sculptors. And of course yarn and fabrics. And all the tools that go with them.
What’s stopping me? Well the kids is the biggest hurdle honestly. And secondly it’s a HUGE financial risk and that’s not a burden I’m will to rope Hubs into. And it definitely not something I’m capable of taking on myself 😅
So yea, that’s what’s on my mind. My biggest Pipedream ❤️
