We’re heading out on a holiday vacation tomorrow morning and I’m only taking a few materials in case I feel in the mood to be creative. I’m looking forward to some family time, my email is on vacation mode (although I’ll try to respond if you really need me 😜) and I’m leaving this bright studio view for a bit. I always love keeping as many scraps as possible in these two jars. One for yarn and the other for rope. You’d be surprised how many cool things you can do with scraps, so I hate tossing them.
Do you have any fun thanksgiving traditions you like to do? I’d love to hear them!

Weaving tip Wednesday: Did you know that you can add a heddle to any loom? Do you know what a heddle is? They are ✨magical✨ devices that open the shed between your warp strings all at once, so you don’t have to wiggle your needle up and down a million times! ⠀
I have a video class all about how they work and how to sew one on to any loom! (I don’t recommend them for looms with peg notches though.) ⠀
I only use heddles on projects that will be using a lot of tabby across the entire width of the tapestry. They take a little time to set up, but will help you weave 4x faster once they are set up... and who doesn’t want to weave faster?!⠀
DM me with any questions are visit my website to find them on the same page as my adjustable looms. Happy weaving!

Can you believe you can get this kind of texture while doing macrame? 😍🙌🏼 I love my yarn... but rope hits a major soft spot in my fiber heart because of one word: fringe. You can learn all about how to combine weaving and macrame in my macrame weaving class. It’s the perfect way to combine the two in So Many different ways! Learn how to macrame, add weaving to macrame, macrame to weaving, and how to do both at the same time (completely unique technique just found in my class). Link in bio! Thanks @brynn_shaylee for sharing this shot after taking my class! Love the details so much ✨❤️⠀

Love waking up to a work-in-progress on the weekend! I pulled out my loom and started a fun new technique. It’s getting cold here in the mornings, but it just makes the morning cozier, working with yarn and watching the day get brighter and warmer. What are you working on this weekend?

I was almost done editing my new punch needle online video class when someone messaged and asked if I would be covering tufting guns. I hadn’t thought of that, but it seemed to be the perfect way to bring the craft full circle so I grabbed my camera, stretched some fabric and filmed a tutorial on how to operate and safely use a tufting gun. I love the punch needle craft so much, and adding power tools to speed up the process is super satisfying!
You can find all the details about my complete punch needle class (the class uses inexpensive hand-held tools, there’s just one lesson about guns) - just click on the link in my bio to learn more!

Feeling extra inspired today after reorganizing my studio... then I stumble upon @mkmcraft and the inspiration turned up 10 levels. I love finding other artists who think outside the box!

I've spent the morning reorganizing my studio and taking photos of a new product launching in Nov! Love this little space of mine. It doesn’t matter what space you have, as long as you can create.
When my husband and I were first married, we lived in a 1 bedroom, 400 sq ft apartment and I used to pull our entire living room apart every time I wanted to make a project. Bless him for being okay with that and stepping over piles of craft supplies for my non-existent blog 😂
Where do you work on creative projects, and what would be your dream space? Think a big as you want and share it in the comments! Perhaps the universe will reward you someday 😉✨⠀

If you haven’t heard, something exciting is happening this Saturday! My online punch needle class will be available to purchase and learn from. 🙌🏼🙌🏼✨
It will include a 62 page ebook, 10 videos, 18 pinching techniques, 4 different projects to use your design and 17 templates. Wow 😅😍 Sign up for my newsletter to be notified the morning it is released!
I cant wait to share this class with you! My goal for this class is more than to bring something pretty into your home. We all have very limited time, energy and capabilities.
This class will empower YOU to make the most of your creative time. I've spent months testing, planning, filming, and developing the best method to teach the needed skills.
I wanted to include every important snippet of information to make this class as complete as possible so that by the end of working through the course, you'll have an impressive piece to showcase in your home, or give as a gift... and you'll be proud to say that YOU created it.⠀
