Here’s the original post from my husband, Alex. I could have reworded it to better fit my blog, but he said everything I was feeling and more:
A few days ago, a colleague forwarded me a story about children with autism using the new iPad to communicate. For those of you not familiar with [...]

So I made another quick DS case. I want to embroider a character or item on it, but I can’t make up my mind.

With those colors it is just screaming for something Mario related. I did a mushroom on the last one. Maybe a koopa shell? Or the Mario “M”? [...]

Some of you may remember in this post I was wondering what to do with all of my defective DS cases I made while learning to crochet. Friends on and offline pretty much all said have a give away. I already gave one to my very first customer on Etsy along with his [...]

I’m sorry if anyone is geting sick of my DS cases, but these are really fun to make!  This weekend, I was experimenting with embroidery on knitted stuff.  A little harder than I thought, but I really like the end result:

This one [...]

First off, sorry I missed posting yesterday. No one told me just how hectic the life of a housewife could be!! And that schedule is continuing on through the weekend…. Wish me luck!
So here is my first attempt at making a deliberate thing with crochet:

I say deliberate because that bracelet I made [...]

Okay! I made a … thing! When I was contemplating what to attempt with all that fabric, I had all these grand ideas going through my head for Nintendo DS accessories. But then I figured it was all too hard, so I was going to make a pillow.
