Apologies everyone I know I've been MIA lately. We have had a lot of life changes, nearly everyone in my house including myself has had a surgery/procedure in the last few months and I my self have been dealing with some medical issues.

That being said we are still here and doing our best and hanging in there!
Due to some of my medical issues, I unfortunately won't be able to do many markets this summer or early fall season. I will be ready to go and be geared up for the Christmas craft fair season though!

We are trying to figure a few things out on getting a shoppable area set up for you folks at our home!

I'm the mean time please please PLEASE, do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything! I am still working here behind the scenes :)

We are still loving your requests for baked goods, jams/jellies, crochet, and 3D printed items.

I have also perfected my recipe for Lemon Pound Cake! It is so lemony, moist and you just have to try it for yourself! $35 and we offer it in the following sizes mini loaf (6 count perfect for freezing and small portions) , regular loaf (2 count) as well as a full bunt cake (1 count). Once we get some more space for a new freezer and a store front set up, we will be able to offer it in single servings and in individual loaf sizes. I just don't have the space at the moment to store extras. So if you want some let me know and if we have multiple folks wanting smaller sizes, we just need to match you all up so I don't have too many left overs 😉. Trust me you won't want to have uneaten leftovers of this lemon pound cake!

As always, thank you EVERYONE for your love, support, and business ♥️

I can't begin to tell you how delicious this is. 🍋 #🍰

There will be no yarn class tomorrow at the library.

Hendricks county is on a warning travel advisory. Please STAY HOME , STAY WARM, AND STAY SAFE.

No yarn class tomorrow due to the weather. The Library does not have plans for snow removal for Sunday and this being a free class I don't want to have the library to have to put out such a large expense, they already do so much for us ❤️

IF schools close Monday and IF the library opens and we have enough interest, we can do a class.

I WILL UPDATE THIS POST SUNDAY EVENING AND MONDAY MORNING BY 10 AM.

Please comment if you are interested in attending,Comment what you are wanting learn (loom knitting or weaving mittens), and if you are bringing your own supplies or if you will be using our supplies and how many people.

Example:
Mitten weaving
Donated supplies
4 people

Or
Loom knitting
Personal supplies
2 people

I have a limited number of knitting looms, but I should have plenty for mitten weaving.

Come help keep the kids warm with me and learn a new skill!

I am so sorry to everyone who was planning on taking our class tomorrow at the library, I forgot to pick up the key 🤦‍♀️

I had my hands full with cranky kiddos, basketball, and a million other things and it totally slipped my mind.

That being said, please let me know what I can do and maybe we can work something out. I can possibly host a shorter, small class at my home, I could possibly come to a families home or two, I could do a live video or we could do zoom/google meet for those who have their own supplies.

Again, I am so sorry folks. I feel horrible!

Hello everyone

I wanted to make things a little bit easier for folks buying supplies for classes. I have put together an Amazon list of recommendations. Besides yarn and the knitting machines, these are not brand specific whatsoever.

When looking at yarn weights look for the symbol pictured below or something similar. The number will change based on the yarn weight which is the thickness of the yarn. Depending on your project this will greatly effect the outcome.

I will have PLENTY of cardboard for mittens at our next class but if you want to bring your own feel free.

I hope this helps 🧶
