Welcome To  The Blog!

Hello Everyone! As you all know, I’ve been crocheting for over 20 years. I started when I was eleven years old, and I’ve not stopped since. I’ve made many things in the past, plushies to blankets and now clothing, but how did I get my start? Well, my mom, really. She was the one who taught me how to crochet. She was also the one who taught me how to cross stitch, but I’ll get to that another time. Crochet is a craft that has kind of been passed down through my family. I belie

Hello Everyone! Your monthly bullet journal setup is here! This month, we’re prepping for November. Now, for those who haven’t seen the video yet, check it out down below. Essentially, I create my bullet journal setup, while recording, so you guys can get inspired to make your own. So, watch it, before you read, because a lot of things I may say here, might not make sense to you. Ok, now that we’re all caught up, let’s take a look at why I made the journal the way it is, and

Hello Everyone! If you’ve ever been to a wedding, or a major event that records the lives of the host, then you’ve probably been asked to sign a guestbook, or more likely a scrapbook. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an amazing addition to the occasion, because it records those special moments on the day, but for those of us who aren’t really creative, it can be daunting to think about what to put in a scrapbook, especially when we’re given a blank one, and no other stationery or res

Hello Everyone! As you all know, I’ve been trying to improve my art skills, and that mostly comes in the form of doodles and drawings, but I’ve also branched out into watercolours. I love watercolours, because those who paint with them, professionally, or even as a pastime make such beautiful images. Granted, I’ve been practicing on and off, and there are times when I pick up a pen or brush and I don’t know what to create, but with every image I attempt, I am slowly improving

Hello Everyone! When you think of sewing, do you think of fashion and designers? Or do you think sustainability and survival? There are so many useful things you could do, when you learn to sew, least of all is to make your own clothes, but that’s not all you can do, with sewing. You can create lots of other things like accessories, bags, and if you're working with leather, furniture. You can create decorative items to personalise your home. You can even create heat insulator

Hello Everyone! If you were to tell me junk journals and scrapbooks are the same, I would tell you yes and no. First off, scrap books are made for specific occasions and memories. They’re more coordinated than a junk journal. A junk journal tends to be scraps of anything and everything, whether it be a cinema ticket or a postcard, anything and everything goes into a junk journal (notice the emphasise there?), but how do you make one? Where do you even start? Let me explain. H

Hello Everyone! You know the drill; it’s time to take a look at my bullet journal setup for the month. This year, I went with an orange and black theme. I know I did a similar theme, back in 2023, although it was a lot lighter and subtler than this one. This year, I decided to go all out with the Halloween theme. I mean the skulls, the potions, the deadly plants and even the witchy and ghost themes. I thought it was about time to embrace the spooky part of the spooky season.

Hello Everyone! One of the biggest factors in my designs, crafts and art is colour. I don’t know about you, but to me, life is colourful, and one of the best ways to show emotion or to perceive something, is through colour. I mean, it’s even in our language. For example, when we say we’re “sad”, we sometimes say, “I feel blue” and if we’re trying to save the environment, we’re “going green”. Need I say more? In truth, it’s an unspoken part of our psychology and subconsciousne

Hello Everyone! Knitting is crochet. Crochet is knitting…No they’re not. While they’re both forms of yarn crafts, they are both very different from each other. If you’re on my channel, or my website, you’re probably a crafts person, or someone who knows crochet and knitting, so you should already know the difference. For those who are here, just for this article, hi! Welcome! And yes, I mean it, knitting and crochet are two very different yarn crafts, and although, crocheters

Hello Everyone! So, I know you’re probably tired of hearing this, but I will always advocate for keeping a journal. It doesn’t have to be a bullet journal, it can be an actual diary, or a scrapbook, something that tracks your memories of the day you’ve had, or of particular moments in your life. You don’t have to keep it daily, it can be done whenever, but to really get the most out of your journal, try your best to use it regularly. Of course, there are several reasons why y

Hello Everyone! It’s finally done! The next episode of the My Bullet Journal Journey series is finally out. As I mentioned on my social media channels, and on YouTube, this episode was going to be majorly delayed, thanks to a really bad fever I had a few weekends ago. Plus, a few commitments required my attention, so I couldn’t finish this month’s setup as quickly as I had liked. Anyway, it’s done now, and I can talk about it. But first, have you watched the video? The Theme:

Hello Everyone! It’s time we looked at being crafty enough to combine your crafts. So, if you’re like me, you’re a hobby hoarder, and you have lots of different projects in the works, but you don’t always have time to work on them one at a time, why don’t you combine them? That’s what many artists do, after all. It’s one of the best ways to develop multiple skills at once. So, for example, if you’re looking to develop your doodling skills and your watercolour skills, try comb

Hello Everyone! What is cross stitch? You might have heard about it, you might not, but essentially, it’s a form of embroidery that uses pixel art and embroidery stitching in the form of an “x”, which is why it’s called “cross stitch”. I’ve been following cross stitch instructions almost as long as I’ve been crocheting, and I love it. I love watching the images I’m making slowly manifest on the fabric in front of me. I love the repetition of stitching those “x’s” and filling

Hello Everyone! Today, we’re going to go back to the subject of bullet journaling. While I might show you the spreads I make, for my own bullet journal, I should also tell you how you can start making your own. It just takes some time, creativity and the will to start, and once you do, you’ll find yourself wanting to do more, adding things like washi tape, your own art, patterned paper, mixed media, paints, and everything under the sun. So, here are a few tips to help you get

Hello Everyone! If you’re here, then I’m assuming you’re here to learn all about the Treble Crochet. Of course, some of you might have been redirected by my latest video tutorial, on YouTube. However, for those of you who don’t know, I made a video tutorial as well, explaining everything in this post, as I teach you how to create a Treble Crochet. So, if you’d like, check that out first, before reading on. So, now that we’re all caught up, let’s take a look at the Treble Croc

Hello Everyone! Today’s post is all about, as you can see, beading! I’ve always been fascinated by it and wanted to give it a go. In fact, I have tried it, but only in its simplest form. I have yet to elevate my skills to a more advanced level of beading, because, as you all know, I don’t currently have a lot of time, but we will get there eventually. Essentially, as part of my jewellery making adventures, I stumbled upon beading and am slowly dipping my toes in that area of

Hello Everyone! It’s that time of the month again (no I don’t mean it in that way…although…no! That’s not it!)! It’s bullet journal time! Today, I’m coming at you with my August spread, and let me tell you, it was not easy, I mean, the execution was, but the ideas and themes I wanted to use for the August spread were much different to what I had actually made. Now, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out the video on YouTube, and of course, you don’t have to jump

Hello Everyone! Today I’m going to be talking about crafts other than crochet. I’m talking about knitting, sewing, embroidering and even cross stitch. Why? Well, this is an arts and crafts blog, after all, why wouldn’t I talk about needlecrafts? In all seriousness, I have tried other needlecrafts that I occasionally venture into and would like to develop, but I've not been able to just yet, after all, I’m a very busy woman, and I haven’t got all day (shoutout to those who kno

Hello Everyone! Today, we’re talking about journals. This one isn’t a follow up to a My Bullet Journal Journey series, although, I highly recommend you check those videos out, so you can get inspiration for your own bullet journals. No, what I’ll be talking about today will be about journals in general; why start one, what you can do with one, and how you can start one (honestly, the last one is simple, just start one). There are several good reasons why you should start a jo

Hello Everyone! If you’ve seen my YouTube channel, you’ll have seen the latest video I’ve uploaded for you guys. That’s right! I’ve gone back to the crochet tutorials! It’s been a long time coming. I was supposed to make this video years ago, but work and life got overwhelming, I had to stop filming for a while. Anyway, I’m back, and we’re picking up where we left off. So, before we start, watch the video first, and if you still need more context, you can keep reading. Video
