Crochet a Beaded Bracelet
I’ve been very interested in experimenting with crochet beading lately. I have been incorporating beads into my work for a few months now, and it was only a matter of time before I started pulling it into my comfort craft. Many crochet beadwork projects use small seed beads in intricate patterns. I have no doubt that I’ll graduate to those patterns one day, but larger supplies are always helpful in learning the basic concepts of a new skill, which is why I’ve created this beginner-friendly bracelet! This pattern is geared…

Since the holiday season is in full swing, I decided to keep with…

Sew a Drop Shoulder Cardigan from a Blanket!
Each culture has objects that become unanimous with it. Growing up, I was always surrounded by many items I believe would fall into the “Mexicana” category. Whether it was foods like my favorite empanadas or art like Talavera tiles, these things were ever-present. One such item that always seemed to be everywhere I turned was the humble Falsa Blanket. These blankets are traditional Mexican woven blankets that are often made of recycled cotton and acrylics. Like many Mexican families, we have a handful of these blankets laying around. With the…

Fall is here, and as the leaves turn I always find myself wanting to change up my house to a more cozy and moody atmosphere. My first place to start is usually the couch.
