    I recently decided I wanted to attempt a Ridge Runt that looked more like a pitbull terrier than the usual hound type of face. I have a hard time keeping in mind that due to the small size of the Ridge Runts and thick yarn I tend to lose a lot of detail options. I…

    The redbud trees are starting to bloom already, which is a sign of the beginning of spring around here in east Texas. Redbud flowers are small, pink flowers that grow all over the stems and branches of the redbud tree where growth nodes are present. The small flowers can be used to make teas and…

    I made my first Ridge Runt using a furry yarn. It wasn’t the easiest to navigate but was definitely not as hard as I expected it to be. The yarn portion is thinner than what I usually use so it did turn it a little smaller than the usual pups. Someone recently asked me if…

    A lot of people do not understand what it can be like growing up after childhood trauma and abuse. Those who have not experienced it on some level during their lifetime never give it a thought due to a lack of awareness and understanding. When someone who has been through trauma and abuse as a…

    It was a long week this week so I thought I’d make something for myself, which I rarely do. I love both tea and dogs and had been wanting to make a pup in a teacup (or is this a puppuccino?).Anyway, I love how it turned out and it does make me smile so I’ll…

    Years ago there was a little girl that always felt so lonely. Even if others were around she felt still alone. She didn’t understand why but she had trouble connecting with others and making friends. One year she was sent to summer camp. Despite begging to stay home she was told the same thing she…

    My hooks have been super busy making baked goods lately. My kids got really excited when I made their favorite cake flavors for pretend play. I love the carrot cake and chocolate cake myself. 🎂🍰 Which are your favorites? I think I might add a candle on top of some of the cakes. I’ll update…

    I designed and made this hat about 5 years ago. I’m not sure if it was originally for myself or my husband but he tends to wear it out more than I have a chance to, so I’ll say it’s his. I love this dead fish hat, it’s my favorite hat, for my favorite guy.

    Something I never thought I would do was trade in coffee for tea. I lost my taste for coffee during the great food aversion of pregnancy #2 and, to be honest, being a tea drinker has been one of the secret things I’ve always wanted be (and not just regular iced tea or something that…
