Crochet Workshop at Community Gardens...

 

Another wonderful experience teaching my craft to some amazing gals. This time we held the workshop at Community Gardens thanks to Autumn Pyka. It went so well and felt so organic. Not only am I teaching but I'm making life long connections with people here in my town and that feels amazing. Here's some images that my good friend Taylor (another Taylor) managed to snap for me. I've said it before but I'm so blessed to have such supportive friends.

I hope you enjoyed seeing a little "behind the scene" action from my events. I'm super excited about the next one coming up on August 27th at Community Gardens. I will be teaching basic Granny-Squares. My fav!!! Just in time for spooky season as well.

Soft opening for my upcoming workshop...

This last weekend I hosted a workshop with some close gal pals at my humble home in Bastrop.

It was sort of a practice round for me because its been nearly 7 years since my last workshop in Austin. I was super excited and anxious. We fixed up the house as much as possible (see our home reno) until we ran out of time. We bought some new furniture, threw on a coat of fresh paint and made some tasty treats and bought some sips. I even made gift/swag bags for the girls. I wanted everyone to feel special.

We went over how to hold the hook and yarn. Basic stitches such as chaining (ch), single crochet (sc) and (hdc) half double crochet. That in itself took awhile... Next, we moved onto "the magic circle" which is pretty complex for a first lesson. 

My beautiful friends hard at work.

Deep into their groove...

My friend Mary came to help support and teach.

Later things got super casual and silly...

Thank you to all my friends for coming and supporting me. I truly am blessed.

Starting over after baby....

    

     It's been about 6 years since I last posted. Within those years a lot has happened... I moved from the

bustling city of Austin to the quiet, cozy small town of Bastrop. I had my first child, Arlo Hart and became a stay at home mom (STAHM). Covid happened and our family had to pivot. My husband took a different job that let him stay close to home. I gave birth to my daughter, Birdie Maxwell during that time. Everything was scary. I put my crochet work on the back burner to give my attention to my 2 littles. Trump was elected and I chose to vanish from social media all together. I deleted my website, blog, facebook account and decided to enjoy life as it came naturally. Over the years I slowly came out of hiding and re-opened my blog. I still try to remain off of facebook for my mental health but do enjoy blogging, Instagram and Pinterest. I have started designing again and have saved many delightful patterns that I can't wait to share with the world. Starting over is hard and can seem impossible. Somedays I get nothing done for my biz and somedays are super productive. Usually I don't get much accomplished and that's okay. Just here to share some of the highs and lows of owning a small business while trying to be a full time mommy as well.
