I just want to make beautiful things, even if no one cares.

This past year I've hit my creativity all time high! I'm teaching  myself to crochet, knit, sew, cook, and use my DSLR! There's been plenty of ups and downs but somehow these hands have made the most darling little creations. This blog is all about the moment, expect anything from crochet patterns to DIYs to cute places I run into while traveling with my adorable Poochie and side kick husband!
Enjoy.
