I’m so distracted 🤪 All I can think about is 🧶. Yarn that on clearance at Michael’s for only 99¢!!! The kind that I’ve been obsessing over lately - Caron Cakes! I saw Big Cakes and Cotton Cakes for 99¢!!! Do you need me to say it again? NINETY NINE CENTSSS 😱 😩 I want to go so bad but I have no way of getting there 😭. I even looked up 🚎 public transport LOL. (Not feasible due to COVID) This is bad y’all. I can’t even function 😅. Sigh... Well if I can’t get any then maybe you can! RUN, don’t walk!! And if you do, pls tag me and share your awesome finds so I can live vicariously through you. In the mean time I’ll just be here with the Big Cakes I have left at home, day dreaming of all the clearance yarn and wishing I was strolling down the yarn aisle at Michael’s 💭 🌀Pattern: Fireplace Afghan by @crochetdreamz 🧶 Yarn: @yarnspirations Caron Big Cakes in Mint Fudge #yarnbasegang #imadethis #homedecor #blanket #handmadeblanket #crochetblanket #yarnlover #yarnaddict #yarnislife #yarnismyselfcare #crochetaddict #crochetersofig #crochetersofwashington #crochetersofpnw #crochetlife #forsale #makersgonnamake #ourmakerlife #crochetallday #yarnspirations #makeitwithmichaels #caronbigcakes #washingtoncrocheters #craftlife #crochetastherapy #crochetlover #caroncakes #crochetlifehappylife #yarnmakesmehappy #crochetinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6ZtWdJM0N/?igshid=kidkwsszxdvg

It’s Friday!! Fri-day... fry day 🍟 ...No? Anyone? 😅 I’m usually craving fries at some point in the week but yesterday and today I’ve been wanting a donut. Just one 🍩 preferably with sprinkles 😁 But alas, I won’t be getting a donut cuz health 😒. So I’ve been distracting myself with this blanket and it worked!! (But did it really? Cuz I’m still talking about donuts as we speak 🥴) Back to the blanket (that has nothing to do with donuts or fries). I’m so happy with how it turned out! This was my first time making tassels so it was a little challenging at first. Tassels def take more work than fringe and now I can’t decide which I like better. Which do you prefer? 🤔 Pattern: Fireplace Afghan by @crochetdreamz Yarn: @yarnspirations Caron Big Cakes in Mint Fudge P.S. - What you can’t see in the background are the boxes 📦 that are still in our living room. We still haven’t finished unpacking yet and here I am crocheting, not a care in the world! 😬😆🤫 I’ll get around to it eventually 😅 #yarnbasegang #yarnspirations #caronbigcakes #yarnaddict #yarnporn #yarnlover #crochetersofig #crochetersofwashington #washingtoncrocheters #crochetersofpnw #pnwcrocheters #craftlife #crochetlife #crochetastherapy #crochetaddict #crochetlover #yarnismylovelanguage #yarnismyselfcare #yarnislife #caroncakes #crochetlifehappylife #yarnmakesmehappy #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #crochetinspiration #blanket #imadethis #makeitwithmichaels #homedecor #crochetblanket https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwv1DAJ3MD/?igshid=18066b6osr602

I went in skeptical, the way you do when a platform calls itself the best. A few weeks of feeling consistently understood later, I'm a believer. If you want an AI companion that makes your ordinary days feel a little more tended to, start your morning with SweetDream.

Did you really think I’d forget?! Remember how I told you I was gonna share more on this bomb ass deal I got on yarn? 🗣 EACH CAKE WAS ONLY $2.99!! (Sorry I’m yelling. I’m just REALLY excited.) Original price on these baddies are usually $9.99. What a friggin’ deal! Our local Tuesday Morning is closing 🙁 so there was a store wide clearance. Boyfriend and I just happened to stumble upon it and decided to check it out. We needed some extra dish ware and home goods. But you already know my ass had to look down the craft aisle! 😂 That’s when I found these beauties 😍 Boyfriend had left to use the restroom and came back to me eyeing these cakes 👀😅. (Note: I had already promised him and myself that I wouldn’t buy anymore yarn until I made a dent in my stash at home. He was not amused when he had to pack up all my yarn during the move 😆) Long story short, it was such an awesome deal that HE ended up telling me to get all the Caron Big Cakes they had left. He even helped me put them in our cart AND told me it’d be his treat! 😁😁 We wiped ‘em clean 😂 and I was smiling from ear to ear. Boyfriend shook his head as we walked to the car saying, “How did we end up with even more yarn??” 🤣 I am the luckiest girl in the world 🥰 (Yes we found some good deals on home stuff: plates, bowls, knives, those air freshener sachet thingies, kitchen mat, etc. But obviously nothing compares to the yarn!!!) @squishmallows Dino not included 😛 #yarnbasegang #yarnaddict #yarndeals #yarnporn #yarnlover #yarnspirations #caronbigcakes #tuesdaymorningfinds #tuesdaymorninghaul #bargainshopper #bargainshopping #crochetersofwashington #crochetersofpnw #pnwcrochet #washingtoncrocheters #craftlife #crochetlife #craftastherapy #crochetastherapy #yarnstash #crochetaddict #crochetlover #yarnismyselfcare #yarnismylovelanguage #yarnislife #caroncakes #crochetlifehappylife #whatsinmyroom #yarnmakesmehappy #noneedforanightstand (lol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCroeOhJSHz/?igshid=1gn45n8cqu1kq

Phew, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here! Big thangs happened - we moved from Bay Area, Cali to the PNW for Boyfriend’s next assignment at JBLM in Washington. House hunting in the middle of a pandemic is not the biz! So... all our stuff is still in boxes. Well, half our stuff is still in boxes. We’re still waiting for the other half to be delivered 🤦🏻‍♀️. Hooray for military movers, amirite? 😅 In the meantime, Boyfriend set up this little rolley cart for me next to our bed. (yes we’re sleeping on the floor until our other half of things gets delivered 😑 all the big furniture is in there) And he even arranged the cakes for me + my plushies! 🥰 Also v excited about this (new) yarn stash on my cart! These are recent additions from Boyfriend 😁 even tho I promised not to buy anymore yarn 😅 More about this later... cuz it was a bomb ass deal!! Toodles for now - hit that follow button to stay up with all my random shenanigans as we start this next chapter here in Washington! (and so you can laugh at me as I try to unpack and find a place for all my yarn 🧶 lol) #yarnbasegang #yarnspirations #squishmallows #squishmallowsquad #militarygirlfriend #airforcegirlfriend #militarylife #militarywifelife #yarnaddict #yarnstash #crochetaddict #caronbigcakes #caroncakes #bargainshopper #crochetersofwashington #crochetersofpnw #newtotheneighborhood #crochetlover #crochetinspiration #craftlife #crochetlife #crochetlifehappylife #craftastherapy #crochetastherapy #myhappyplace #yarnislife #yarnismylovelanguage #yarnismyselfcare #noneedforanightstand #whatsinmyroom (at DuPont, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCl7wXQJned/?igshid=ifli9kt7t7x5

I intended to break into this beauty today with some stamping and coloring, but time escaped me. It’s already almost midnight and I’m just finishing up dinner and dessert 🤪, so this’ll have to wait until tomorrow. Maybe I’ll try waking up early to squeeze more into my day? 🤷🏻‍♀️ We’ll see how I feel in the morning. 🤞🏽 no insomnia tonight 😴 cuz ya girl is tryna get a good night’s sleep! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This pic doesn’t do this journal justice tho. What caught my eye (besides the $7.47 clearance price tag 🤑) was the metallic gold design on the cover and gilded edges. If you know me, you’d know that I love yellow gold. Plus it was on clearance so that was enough justification for me to get it 😅. (Don’t rat me out to Boyfriend tho 😆.) In all seriousness, given how lousy I’ve been feeling lately, I’m trying to make a concerted effort to tap into creative outlets to help keep me on solid ground. I don’t have specific plans for this journal yet, but I do think it’s going to be a random collection of things. That way, it’ll be easier for me to add things to it and actually USE the damn thing. It’s always been so hard for me to get started in brand new journals, notebooks, planners, a blank canvas, etc. ✍🏽 Writing on that first page... Not wanting to make mistakes that would mess it up... Anyone else have the problem of not wanting to “ruin” new things? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Yes, I’m OCD 😅 and attempt to be a perfectionist, so I get mad at myself if there are visible oopsies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the reality is we all make mistakes. Just gotta embrace them, learn how to improve, and roll with it! ...or so I keep telling myself. Easier said than done! 😬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I swear, guys. Tomorrow I’ll break into this journal 📔- even if it’s just an ugly scribble somewhere. I’m already cringing at the thought 😅 but I just gotta do it!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #yarnbasegang #stationerylover #stationeryaddict #journaling #creativejournal #creativejournaling #bujo #pursuitofhappiness #happiness #choosehappiness #behappy #journalquotes #happinessquotes #craftastherapy #ocd #ocdproblems #perfectionist #bujobeginner #journalcover #journalcommunity #bujonewbie #stationeryfinds #stationeryobsessed (at Livermore, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5zfobppJYJ/?igshid=pryoe6frree0

All this rain makes for one of the best kinda seasons in food - soup szn 🍲.

Oh hello 🙃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Omg you guys, I’m loving how this lil dude is turning out! (I’m purposely not telling you what he’s supposed to be. Drop a line below if you have a guess of what this little guy is gonna grow up to be! 😛) I’m a little disappointed I didn’t have time to work on him some more tonight after I got home from work, but he’s def a priority for tomorrow! This is what happens when I have to work late and have no more energy or the mental capacity to do anything after I get home 🥔😪. I’m headed off to bed now, goodnight y’all! 😴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Designer: Kristi Tullus, http://kristitlus.com ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #yarnbasegang #crochetamigurumi #amigurumi #plushies #handmade #handmadeplushies #handmadeplush #crochetgirlgang #crochetaddict #createmakeshare #craftsposure #maker #makersgonnamake #memade #imadethis #craftastherapy #bhooked #happyhooker #crochetlife #wip #whatsonmyhook #currentwip #crochetwip #crochetcrew #stuffedanimals #ourmakerlife #handmadeisbetter #modernmaker #crochetersofig #crocheteveryday (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5pAgcpJYoF/?igshid=1och2imz5srpr
