I’ve a had a little bit of a crummy week. Seeing this just now, gave me butterflies, and made everything seem better. Eileen and Bronwyn from Mama Smit’s Musings., sporting headbands from my Stitches by Krustal Etsy shop. Warms my heart. Thank you for sharing the picture, Eileen. You girls look lovely. <3

Just put these precious little pins in my Etsy shop. They are quite fun, and versatile! I wore some in my hair this weekend using a bobby pin. The shop is here: Krust on Etsy.

Saturday, I realized, that I had not yet purchased my Aunt a Mother’s Day card.  I was at home crafting all afternoon, and it occurred to me that it could be super cute to make one! I remember as a kid, my Mom, Aunt and Grandma loved homemade cards. So, I thought it could be [...]

Another headband for my niece, Sawyer. This time a bit more colorful! I’m finishing up a handful of these in various color combos to be added to the shop mid-week.  I also have a few other brooches and clips coming too, a preview of those is coming tonight or tomorrow.

This week I worked on some simple dresses, and finished them tonight. I used no pattern. Just found some online tutorials and swung it. Not half bad…. It’s a start at least. Still a little rough. But mostly, I did it! I made something functional. I’m going to try to bust a bunch out. Since, [...]

I know, I have been neglecting this lately. But, I’ve been “distracted” if you will. Living on my own for the first time, not being home,  brother’s family just had twins, work, new gym membership blah blah blah. Mostly, I’m just not home enough to get the things done that I want to, to use [...]
