I’ve been planning a cactus collection for a few months now – I know I’m not exactly the first person to come up with the idea to make a crocheted cactus, but my idea was to make my designs more realistic than the cartoonish cacti I’ve seen before. I always like to base my patterns […]

in limbo
The blog is a little quiet because I’m playing a waiting game at the moment, so I don’t have a lot I can blog about yet: Waiting for my new book to be released (less than 6 weeks to go!) Waiting to see an advance copy – they should be printed by now and I […]
getting an ITIN (for non-US contract workers)
…You’re probably thinking “huh?” right about now, and I know this post won’t have much interest to most of my readers, so if you’re not a non-US resident or citizen who wants to do contract work for US companies (for example: writing articles or patterns for US magazines, or writing or contributing to a book […]
punchneedle globe WIP (part 2)

I just returned from the summer Tent Sale at the Yarn Factory Outlet in Listowel, ON. Twice a year, they have a big sale, and I’ve been to the past two winter sales, but never to the summer sale before. It’s about an hour’s drive from my house, through farmland and Mennonite country, and today […]
thoughts on reviews
July has come and gone, and so it’s time to draw another ‘Review and Win’ winner… July’s winner is Cheryl D, who said: I used my detail stuffing tool for the first time today… I bought it ages ago and haven’t made any amigurumi lately, (it’s all been big projects and house moves) and when […]
punchneedle update
I haven’t posted anything about punchneedle for a while, but I haven’t forgotten all about it: I’ve been working on larger scale projects instead of new small patterns. My punchneedled Moon, with a 5″ diameter, was the largest project I’d undertaken, until I bit the bullet and bought a mammoth 10″ diameter embroidery hoop so […]
