What a weekend!!!

Christmas Through Lowell was AMAZING and I'm almost completely sold out! (4 hats and 5 scarves left to be exact!)I was blown away by all the love for my creations. Thank you thank you thank you!

So of course... today I had to go out and buy more yarn. 🤪 I will not be doing any more shows this year but I will post items as I complete them. And as always, I'm happy to take custom orders. But get them in early if you'd like them ready by Christmas. DM me to order.

Just got back from an awesome family trip to Universal! And despite only 1 checked bag for 5 people for 8 days I managed to stuff in all of that yarn to work on during the flights and every evening in the hotel. Christmas Through Lowell is only 9 days away!!! Come visit me at Heidi's Farm stand. Nov 19 & 20.

Apparently certain color combinations can spark some strong emotions.....🤣

Are you a Michigan or State fan? According to the Google there's a big game coming up this weekend.

I don't really cheer for either side....I just show up for the snacks. Go sports!

Meet the maker.

So apparently you're supposed to do these every once in a while here on the socials. 🤷 And it's been ::never:: since I've done one, I thought it might be time. So.....

Hi. I'm Erin. 🤪

I'm a wife and mama first and foremost. I'm married to my highschool sweetheart and favorite person, Chris Graham. I'm extremely lucky to be mom to my 3 blessings....Avery, Calvin and Harrison (the wild Ginger). We homeschool, which is both the most fun/rewarding AND the most challenging thing I've ever done. I love watching them grow and learn and discover new things, but some days I look longingly at the school bus as it drives past my house!

I started crocheting as one of many hobbies I've tried over the years. My first few attempts were.....rough. But I love conquering new skills, so I kept at it and things started to look a bit neater.

I began crocheting as more than a hobby as a way to deal with grief. We suffered several miscarriages in 2017 & 2018 and it rocked me to the core. During that time I found crochet to be so calming and therapeutic. It's repetitive and mindless motion was soothing and let my brain and heart work thru the grief. And, because I was doing it so much, and my friends and family could only use so many hats and scarves....I was encouraged to sell them. So I did! And Wild Ginger Handmade was born.

I still consider crochet as my therapy. Not from grief anymore, but just as a calming way to wind down at the end of a day. Up until this past winter I've always said I can't knit. I only crochet. But then I decided that was b.s. and I once again pushed myself to learn a new skill. I'm very happy to say that now I do both and I might even prefer knitting!

So. That's me. The end. For now......(dun dun DUN) 😆

Another new product!

Unfortunately I don't have a cute fireplace mantle to showcase one of these for each season (it's on the project list. 😉). But if you do you need one!

So far I have a couple Halloween, fall/Thanksgiving and a few Christmas options.

Scroll for a cameo of my photography assistant. 😂

Here's a short video explaining the ministry the fund raiser this weekend is supporting. Lena has such a heart for the refugees living in Lebanon. I love when we can combine a fun shopping event with making a difference in people's lives on the other side of the planet. Come shop Friday 10-4, Saturday 9-1.

I may have been radio silent here on the socials but I've been hard at work coming up with new products for fall.

These slippers are so warm and cozy and have leather soles. I only have 10 pair made and they are all unique color combos. They will be available at the fundraising sale this Friday and Saturday .
