I recently finished my Wool Eater Blanket.
But then I remembered I have a granny square Roseanne afghan that I still need to weave in all the ends before it’s finished. I started working on the ends during a rainy day this past week.
Word to the wise: Weave in all [...]
I need your help with something very important. But first, a quickie recap of Easter weekend.
I hung out at home by myself on Sunday because I couldn’t find anybody to watch Barney, and he’s not a very friendly dog, so I can’t just take him everywhere with me. However, it turned out that I [...]
Guys … guess what? My stuff is in the ArtVend machine at Wheatsfield.

[ you should go buy one of my zippy bags ]

I’m on a last-minute Christmas gift rampage and have been scouring my tutorials board on Pinterest this week*.

It’s SewMamaSew’s giveaway day today.
Check out all the super sweet giveaways (in addition to mine) on her blog today.
So what am I giving away? I’m giving away one of my little zippy pouches. My Classy Lady Lacey zippy pouch to be exact.

Here’s a small [...]
Hello! I have another lovely tutorial for you. This one requires hardly any skill at all. Just a glue stick, some cardstock and a bit of fabric.
Okay, and maybe very MINIMAL sewing skills. However, I think you could pull these off with a stronger glue and no sewing.
I found the original tutorial in [...]
… if you live in Ames.
Remember that vending machine I told you about? The ArtVend project that lives at Wheatsfield in Ames?
My teeny tiny wallets (now not-so-teeny tiny at 5″x2.5″) and my zippy bags will be in there starting in December.
Teeny tiny wallets are [...]
I did Craft Saturday yesterday and amongst the superb vendors there was a lady named Kate Funk. She sells greeting cards.
Not just any greeting cards though. CAT greeting cards.
And not your run of the mill cat greeting cards either. These are bitchin’.
She apparently dresses up her cat, AC, who, by the way [...]
There are so many craft and art shows this season there isn’t any excuse not to support local makers and get some of your holiday shopping done at these local events. Unlike buying from a franchise store, when you support your local makers the money goes directly to them and directly back into the community. [...]
Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
