What is #ScrappySunday to me?
Scrappy Sunday is my special day to work on creative, scrappy projects and celebrate the love for crafting I believe I inherited from my Heavenly Father. Yes, I’m a proud follower of Jesus. While I’m not here to force my faith on anyone, I aim to reflect God’s love through my actions and interactions. My goal is to be like a lighthouse—shining His light to guide others to safety and peace. I’m just the vessel; He is the light within. Mark 12:30-31 reminds us: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these.’ For…

More Time to Craft!
Joy is defined as a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. We all experience joy in different ways but narrowing down on the things that bring us joy and peace can change every aspect of our life. My family, friends, pets, (wildlife in general), plants, being outside and knowing the laundry is done for the week are a few examples of things that bring me joy. However, the urge to create is one of the things that brings me joy {AND} inner peace. So that is the “adventure” I am constantly seeking. It is important to note though, that we have to plan time and take steps each day so…

Word of the Year!
There is something about the possibilities that a new year can bring and it’s ability to awaken your soul. I always have the urge to make something but if I am being honest it is not always yarn related. My crafting pulls can vary daily and sometimes, the pull is to a DIY, to play around with stickers in my planner, and even building in a video game. Regardless the outlet, there is a constant creative aspect of my life that I do have to experience daily or I am left feeling unaccomplished for the day. If I am really being honest with you, if it is not being exercised,…

Knitting and Crochet in Books and Movies
I used to be a huge reader before I met my friend new pastime friend yarn. Reading has always brought me joy and still does. It has ability to transfer me to another place and time at any time. Since I met “yarn” and the “yarnie life” I find I gravitate to books that have knitting and crochet in them. It still has the same ability to bring warm and fuzzy feelings to my soul but, on a different level. I think it does this by providing me with a feeling of community. It allows me to place myself right there within the pages on on the screen, knitting or…
