I just posted a new video tutorial for an old-ish pattern here on my blog: the heart garland that was featured before in Crochet Today magazine!

It’s a cool tutorial for beginners, because we go through several different stitches like tr, htr, dc, hdc, and sc!

Sooooo I FINALLY was able to finish crocheting baby Groots for my giveaway winners from a few months ago. I am super sorry it took me FOREVERRRRRRR. Renegade Craft Fair and then the holidays really made my crocheting schedule crazy! So thanks so much for your patience Kristina, Katgumi, Lexi, Deanna, and Karen! Your baby Groots are boxed up and on the way!

Remember, if you’d like to crochet a baby Groot of your own, my free pattern is here!

Okay, I’m not a super hippie-dippie touchy-feely spiritual kinda lady, BUT, my best friend is, and sometimes, you read each other’s tarot cards all night and learn about Metatron cubes, and sometimes, you write letters to the Universe.

We decided to take a moment to write down small letters to the Universe on pieces of paper. Manda said to write down our hopes, dreams, and wishes. I ended up writing a lot of promises to myself, with most of my short letters beginning with, “I will….”

Initially, we had planned to do all of this outside on a hike, but we woke up too late to go on a hike, so we ended up performing our ritual in Manda’s apartment at night, with all the windows open, jackets zipped up, blankets on laps, occasionally fanning any smoke toward the windows. I know this was not the smartest idea, but it happened, and everything was fine!

…except for the part where the smoke felt REALLY BURNY ON OUR EYEBALLZ.

Otherwise, VERY SPIRITUAL. AND STUFF.

I hope you are all able to execute your hopes, dreams and wishes this year! <3

(p.s.) How was your NYE? I don’t think I will write a lot about it…. in order to protect the guilty … but we went to our favorite divey club for 80s night, and the evening was no less than epic.
