I wanted to experiment with crocheting socks lately and this is what I came up with. They’re made out of 100% wool and I couldn’t be more happy.

Rocking the headband one of my friends made for me. I love how the simplest item can be so freakin’ cute. Love love love.

Some hats I made for my little sissy, and a turtle I painted on a note card. Hurray.

What’s inspiring me today: PBS’s ‘Craft in America’ series. Originally I began to watch this series based off the fact that I was bored and needed something new to watch on TV, but once I watched the first episode I was hooked! Not only do these episodes explore different crafts in America, but they really delve into the beauty in the people who are creating them. If you are any kind of craftsman (or woman for that matter) like I am, I would highly recommend checking this series out at the PBS website. Working with your hands to create beauty is an art form that should not and cannot be forgotten. This series does a beautiful way of reminding me that I am not alone in my longing to create, and that it’s an important part of my community/world to do so. Check it out! http://video.pbs.org/program/craft-in-america/

What’s inspiring me today: My friend Matt’s photo

I creepily cut and pasted this beauty off of my friend’s Facebook wall but I fully intend to do so with saying it is his, not mine. I just love this headband and this photo so much I couldn’t resist. Love love love.
