March of the Penguin

By Annie
I’ve recently finished a whole lot of hats, so you can expect a lot of new-hat-posts in the coming days. I really like this one, because my favorite animal is the penguin.

You can find this hat on my Etsy shop – just $10 for one lucky penguin lover!

Vampire Craft Craze

By Annie
I refuse to mention why today is a big day in the lives of vampire-obsessed teen girls everywhere (needless to say, I’m not a fan). But the fact of the matter is, people love vampires.

This Little Piggy

By Annie
I’m really enjoying hat season so far. I just finished up another one: a pig!

I used light pink yarn to make a pretty standard kid-sized hat. Then I used felt to create the eyes, nose, ears, and my favorite part – the curly tail!

Looking for Some Sunshine?

By Annie
I’m not sure about how the weather is wherever you live, but in Chicago it has been disgustingly terrible the past few days.  Rain, cold, wind – it’s enough to make a girl want to lock herself in her apartment all weekend (and write in her blog…?)
So I think it’s time that I unveil [...]

Felt Purse

By Annie
Here’s an adorable and easy project that you can do in an afternoon.  All you need is some felt and a needle and thread.
