Watch as I turn my junk journal into a textured bird page!

 

I’ve just uploaded a new YouTube video, and I’m so excited to share it with you! 🎥

Lately, I’ve been following Caroline on the Hillside on YouTube and taking part in her creative prompts — and honestly, it’s been such great fun! Each week brings a new theme that sparks imagination and gives me an excuse to sit down, get creative, and enjoy the process. It’s such a lovely way to stay inspired and connected with other makers.

☕ Looking Ahead

Tomorrow’s shaping up to be another busy weekend (as usual!), but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Between projects, filming, and a little creative chaos, it’s always a full house — and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

If you’re following along with Caroline’s prompts too, let me know! I’d love to see what you’re making and how you’re interpreting each week’s theme.

✨ Until next time, happy creating — and don’t forget to take a moment for yourself this weekend.

🎃 A Little Halloween Throwback

🎃 A Little Halloween Throwback: My Spooky Mittens!

I’d almost forgotten about my Halloween mittens—though to be fair, I still wear them every year, even after all this time! They’ve held up beautifully and always bring a smile (and a few compliments!) whenever the spooky season rolls around. 👻🧶 Lately, I’ve been thinking it might be fun to design a few new Halloween patterns—something fresh to mix things up while keeping that same playful, seasonal spirit. I’ve got a few ideas brewing already...

🕸️ Featured on Crafty Websites!

I was thrilled to discover that my Happy Halloween Mitts pattern has been featured on a couple of wonderful crafting websites! Check them out here: 🧡 Craft with Meemaw – Free Pumpkin Knitting Patterns 🖤 The Knit Crew – 8 Creepy Knitted Halloween Mitten Patterns It’s always such a lovely surprise to see my work shared among so many creative makers—and it reminds me why I love this community so much!

🧶 Grab the Free Pattern

If you’d like to make your own pair, you can find my free pattern for the Happy Halloween Mitts right here on Ravelry: 🎃 Happy Halloween Mitts – Free Pattern It links back to one of my older posts, but the pattern is still just as fun (and festive) to make.
Maybe it’s time to pull out some orange and black yarn and start working on a new Halloween design—stay tuned, I might just have something spooky coming soon! 🕷️✨

I TURN TRASH INTO AMAZING JUNK JOURNALS!

 

This journal was made completely from junk — and honestly, it was such a joy to create! There’s something so satisfying about taking scraps, old papers, packaging, and bits that would normally end up in the bin, and giving them new life. Each page feels unique and full of personality — a little piece of creative recycling that turns “rubbish” into something beautiful.

I had so much fun experimenting with textures, layering, and adding small details like lace, tickets, and torn pages. It’s amazing how freeing it feels to make something without worrying about perfection — just pure creativity and play.

If you’d like to take a peek inside, I’ve shared a flip-through of this junk journal over on my YouTube channel. You can watch it here:

I’m already planning to make a few more of these, each one a little different from the last. It’s such a fun, mindful way to craft — and a great reminder that art doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive to be meaningful.
