I've got a fair amount of handmade gifts to make and a few items to source & purchase as well, but I'll get it all done in time. I'm currently off work due to mild medical issues, but it is proving beneficial to my getting things caught up creatively and around the house.
This is a place for me to write about my crafts and the goings-on in my life. Being home during quarantine has been a challenge, but hopefully keeping a blog will help me keep busy with my hobbies and crafts.

Birthday is over & Halloween is on Hold!

More and more and more...HALLOWEEN!!
I've got a couple of blog posts I've been working on for a while that are waiting on me putting in links, but I didn't want to wait to have time for them before I posted again.
I've been keeping busy!
Between work, online gaming with friends (mostly Dungeon & Dragons [D&D], Pathfinder 2.0, & Werewolf), processing alpaca fiber, spinning alpaca yarn, and knitting for clients (whenever I can find spare time), I can barely catch my breath.
I keep trying to get back into creative streaming on Twitch, but it's hard to find the time when the kids are online in Zoom for 1/2 of the day or more...lol
When I do have computer access back and have the time finally, it's usually past 9pm PST, and I'm too damned exhausted.
Today I was chatting with a friend about perspective Halloween costumes and after discussing for a bit, he helped me decide on a patchwork plague doctor.

And using these 2 patterns I already own, but with significant pattern alterations:
I'll try to keep the blog and my Instagram: craftiness1skey updated about it.
