    Tentacles, Tears & Triumph

    Behold. My very first crochet project. An amigurumi octopus. Small, blue, and slightly unhinged… just like its maker. This little sea gremlin came to life using a free octopus crochet pattern by Mariska Vos (click here for pattern). All credit where credit is due, because this pattern gently held my hand while I questioned all my life choices. I used Scheepjes Catona yarn in my beloved “Tropic” blue, because if I’m going to wrestle yarn for the first time, it might as well feel like a holiday. The color screams ocean vibes, summer mood, and “I definitely knew what I…

    A New Hope

    Once upon a craft table far, far away and absolutely covered in ink pads, I recreated Star Wars: A New Hope as a Lawn Fawn card. But this time with a twist. Everything lives in moody Distress grays… except ONE rebellious pop of gold yellow. Because even in space despair, we need contrast. Think grayscale galaxy. Think cinematic gloom. Then BAM. Gold yellow. Like hope itself switched on a light saber and said “I’m the main character now.” Luke Skywalker sits there in his sad farm-boy era, dreaming of something bigger than sand and chores. C-3PO is doing what he…

    Tiny Gamer Projects

    Okay so… I sat down “just to make something small” (please laugh with me), and somehow ended up creating an entire purple gamer-themed bead squad. Three chaotic children. Zero regrets. All made from iron-on beads, because apparently I enjoy tweezer-based stress. It started innocent. Truly. “Let me just make a cute little Gameboy,” I said.Cut to me, two hours later, whispering “yes queen” to a pixelated Yoshi while ironing him into existence. The mini Gameboy turned out adorable, like, disgustingly cute. It’s giving retro vibes. If it had batteries, it would absolutely beat me at Tetris. Then there’s the LEVEL…

    Say Hello to Baby Snail

    A tiny stitchy friend with maximum cozy vibes. I finished this adorable little Baby Snail from the wonderful @mamawitchxstitch, and honestly? I’m obsessed. Like… dangerously obsessed. Stitched on 18ct using DMC floss, this tiny forest friend is bringing all the fall feels straight to my crafting corner. Baby Snail is the pattern called and has the cutest little mushrooms growing on its shell. This whole design is basically a warm hug in floss form. Think mossy greens, toasty browns, and that perfect mushroom red that makes you want to sip tea and crunch leaves. If you’re looking for a small…

    Let that sh*t go

    If you’ve ever wondered what happens when pigeons and raccoons team up in the middle of a candy pink brick alley… well, wonder no more. Because my newest handmade card features Gerda Steiner’s iconic pigeons doing what pigeons do best (looking cute but absolutely up to no good), while a couple of mischievous raccoons rummage through the trash like it’s their weekend hobby.Spoiler: it 100% is. To set the perfect “urban wildlife takeover” scene, I used my favorite brick stencil with some deliciously pink Distress Oxides, because who says chaos can’t be aesthetic? The critters are all coloured with Copic…
