My Work Basket

Here is where I will tell you about the projects I am working on. To get updates when I new post is shared, go to home page and enter your email address and then click “subscribe to my work basket”.

Welcome to my blog!

I wanted to share a bit about how I work.
This is referring to any link I share and products I talk about. As well as how to conduct yourself in this space.

Any link I share will not be an affiliate link, here on the blog, on YouTube or Instagram.
If I am sharing a product with you it is because I use that product and genuinely like it and think you might too.
Any link I share to a product, company, video, post or anything else doesn’t mean I fully agree with and support absolutely everything they say and do. I cannot know everything that they say and do, number one. Two, they are entitled to have an opinion that is different than mine or yours.

If there is something you know about someone I’ve shared with you, email or message me to let me know. Don’t publicly tear someone up in the comments. That sort of behavior will not be tolerated.

We will be civilized and respectful here, on my YouTube channel and on my Instagram account.

This isn’t in response to anything in particular, just wanted to share. I enjoy people, all kinds of people, I just want everyone to be nice is all.

Aloe Wish Hiss

This will be an on-going series in addition to my weekly blog post. The category is “Aloe Wish Hiss” and I will link to it at the beginning of each entry in case you missed something. I am going to design a sweater that is a layering piece. Even though I live in the desert…

Latvian Braid

I have worked a Latvian braid in two different patterns. The first time was in a pattern that is no longer available but I have a photo of the braid I can show you. I went back to the pattern and it doesn’t give directions for how to work the braid, so I was left…
