I've been testing out a new pattern set. I got a request for the different phases of the moon and I thought that was an amazing idea. So I quickly got to work. Now I have a number of these little guys and I'm thinking of a bunch of fun things to do with them.

Make sure to check out the shop for this new pattern. I'll have it listed soon!

I'm still riding that science trip and I'm making more lab inspired items. These two might not be recognizable to a lot of people, but if you've ever worked in a lab, you know what they are. I think these rank up there as some of my favorite patterns I've ever made. 

What do you think? What have you been working on? I'd love to know what is on your bead board right now. Leave a comment below.

I've been away from the blog for far too long. But I have been a busy girl, that is for sure, and I have a lot to share with you.

In February I took a big leap and I left the lab. I have been working in one lab or another for the past 16 years. I've really never know life without it. But I decided it was time for a less physically demanding job, so I moved over to the regulatory side of research. But since I've left, I feel like I've been missing some of the lab life. So I've channeled that energy into my newest patterns. 

I created a whole line of different science themed patterns. It's my little way of staying connected to the lab. What do you think of them? Aren't they the cutest little things?

What have you been working on. I'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment below and tell me what's on your bead board.

It's been quite some time since I last did one of these. Life got a little crazy at the end of last year. I am finally back to a normal schedule, so these will be happening more often. 

I have been working on a bunch of brick stitch projects. I have been having so much fun designing these and have been coming up with so many awesome designs. 

Because it's almost Valentine's day, I've been working a some sweet projects that you can make for all your loved ones. Like this cute beaded heart. They would make a cute pendent or even earrings.

Let's take a look at some of my absolute favorite Valentine's Day finds. Because nothing says I LOVE YOU more than surprising them with a unique handmade gift.

First up are these absolutely adorable Valentine's Day cards form InklingPaperie. They are customizable, so you can write any secret message your little heart desires on them. I love them and I know you will too!

Next up is this adorable print from ChicorySkies. I love the colors on this print and I love the idea of take as much as you need. Don't we all need a tree like this from time to time?

How about getting your loved one a huge snuggly blanket from ChunkyWoolStudio this year? You can both snuggle up under this together. 

Get that special someone a set of these amazing aroma therapy candles from meganspantry. They will help them relax and unwind from a stressful day. Who wouldn't love that? 

If you are looking for something a bit more unusual, and you love to crochet, you can make this little heart from FayniToys. I would be over the moon if I got this little poison heart from somone! 

And what about this great felt garland from MatthewAndMae? You probably already know, I'm a sucker for any garland and this garland has my heart. 

I am also in love with this pillow from SweetHooligansDesign. It's so simple and so pretty it would look amazing on anyone's couch. The perfect little Valentine's Day touch. 

I love these string art hearts from KnottedBug. They would look adorable up on a shelf or they would make an amazing gift for that special someone. 

I'm adding one more amazing crochet pattern to the list, but look at this beautiful anatomical heart pattern from DragonbirdCreations. It's amazing. I have no other words for it. 

And finally, we can't forget the kidos. These special heart necklaces from isewcute would make any little one smile (or anyone really).

I have been working with my daughter to create some beady goodies that are all her own. She drew some pictures of a few monsters and I transformed them into little charms. She was very specific about all the details and absolutely loves the end results. 

I had so much fun working with her one these and I think they turned out so cute. I was thinking about adding them to the shop as patterns so everyone can make their own little monsters. 

What do you think? Should I add these little guys to my patterns shop? Or would you love to see them as finished pieces you can buy? Let me know in the comments below.

I am still busily working on my Halloween patterns. I have a bunch of these little earring patterns done and I am still thinking up more to add to this collection.

I think I might be done with my spooky Halloween items (or not if I can think of some more), so I think I will start working on some other holiday patterns. What do you think I should work on? 

What are you working on right now? I'd love to hear from you.
