Welcome to Floss & Fleece, my new blogging venture!
After four years of sharing my craftiness on KBB Crafts & Stitches, I've
decided it's time for a change. By both intention and serendipity, my creative interests
have shifted from crafter-of-all-trades to needlework designer. On this blog, I'll
be focusing on my favorite fibers--embroidery floss, wool felt, and yarn (the
"floss" and "fleece" of the title)--and sharing my
adventures in cross-stitch, crochet, and hand-sewing. Each week I'll be posting
about my maker's life, from inspiration boards and favorite finds to tutorials
and printables. Of course I'll be sharing instructions and patterns for simple
needlework projects too.
I've jump-started the blog with a bunch of
fun posts, including three projects. The "Little Lamb Needle Keeper" and the "Little Lambs Pincushion" celebrate the floss-and-fleece theme. The crocheted "Poppy Purse" provides a
bright splash of spring color. If you're looking to tame your yarn stash, you
can print some yarn organizer cards and create a yarn binder like I did. I've
also given you a peek at one of my favorite published crochet designs--"Bold
Boho Mini Throw"--which is featured in the Summer 2018 issue of Crochet!
magazine.
