W e a v i n g : I n s p i r a t i o n

My newest crafting obsession is weaving! I just love how simple it is to combine various yarn textures and colors and turn it into a piece of art. I'm crushing hard on the work of Maryanne Moody, as well as on the other lovely woven textile pieces floating around the Pinterest world.  As an added bonus - weaving is a great way to use up leftover yarn from my crochet stash. Stay tuned for some posts on how to DIY a few simple looms and learn some beginner weaving techniques. I'm super excited to learn more about this beautiful craft!

L i t t l e B i t s O f G r a d u a t i o n

I had such a great weekend celebrating my Graduate school graduation with my amazing parents. 
It still hasn't hit me that I'm completely done with school, but I'm already enjoying the perks of not having any homework.  On to the next step!

B a c k T o B l o g g i n g !


It's time for me to get back to blogging! I've managed to survive my final semester of grad school (yay for graduating this weekend!) and I can't wait to have a bit more free time to devote to my hobbies. I mean, I've spent an entire year researching how arts participation is good for health, so I better get back to practicing what I preach!

F i n d i n g I n s p i r a t i o n . . .


Posts have been getting pretty slow around here and the truth is I'm in a bit of a crafty lull.  Thanks to class, work, and a looming thesis deadline, I'm finding less and less time and motivation to work on my hobbies. I've decided it's time to make sure I get around to some creative projects -- I mean I'm writing a thesis about how arts participation good for you -- I should probably heed my own advice! 
I'm going to start with reading this lovely handbook to boost my inspiration :)
