I feel like it’s been a week since I woke up this morning.

The tariffs are making me sad as usual. Rainbow cotton from Hobbii is my favorite cotton yarn and I hate how expensive it is now. I put in a bulk order before the tariffs hit, but I’m already wanting to replace some. Each of these 82yard skeins are now $6.50.
6.50 x 6 = $39 just for the yarn 😭

Good news, it doesn’t seem to be leaking??? Maybe the warning light was a fluke? My husband filled the tank drove it and let it sit and it’s still full soooo I’m not sure what happened.
We have a mystery coolant leak in the car guys and I really don’t want to be the one to take care of this. 😣

I keep jumping from project to project, but here’s a little update on the crochet sparkle bag I’m making. Help me decide on a color for joining and finishing the rest of the bag.
✨🧶✨

1 white
2 black
3 bit of each color in the squares
4 medium brown, but I might not have enough

I went to PetsSmart to get a laser pointer and a couple small toys for our new cat Gary, but Charlotte jumped up on the table right away and adopted the little gingerbread man immediately 🥹🐈‍⬛

💥 BOOM 💥

SECOND FINISHED PROJECT OF THE YEAR! I’m finally finishing a few half done dice bags, I have one or 2 more I can finish up still. Might finish one more today. 🧶✨😮‍💨
January 4, 2026 at 4:34 PM
Well well well all you unbelievers look at this! I finished the dice bag I randomly started making last night. My first finished project of 2026!

I followed my own pattern, one I designed 6 years ago or so. I haven’t made one of these in a long while. I think it turned out really cute too. 🧶

Welp I started yet another project. I don’t even care about shaming myself over project chaos at this point. 2026 was made for this. I’m also using a discontinued color I like and I’ll be sad once I finish this project cause I won’t be able to make it again. 🧶

On New Year’s Eve I started working on some crochet mushrooms and after a few failed attempts I think I was using the wrong yarn/hook combo. So, today I switched everything up and I’m now making sparkle granny squares. I’ll change up the colors as I go and end up with a bag at some point. 🧶✨

Anyone have recommendations for favorite cat toys? I have two cats that don’t care about catnip and one that does, so I’m not really looking for catnip toys (I’m going to make some). I do want to have some new stuff for them as they adjust to have it a new cat in house. I want more play time!

Banana loaf is done! Nice and crispy on the outside and cloud fluffy soft on the inside. I’m about to hurt myself snacking on bread for the rest of the day!
January 1, 2026 at 10:38 PM
I doing it! I making banana bread at the exact time the bananas are ready. I’ll update with a loaf post later. It’s a yeast bread with bananas, cinnamon and walnuts. Toasted with salted butter is insanely good. I can’t wait!

Starting the new year with a short 2 week window until my next in-person vendor set up! I was invited to vend for an anniversary event in town. So that should push me to sort through all my bins and pack away Christmas items. I don’t think I’ll make many new things, I don’t need that pressure.

Oh btw I used the wrong hook size cause I have a bunch hooks next to me and they are all blue and almost all the same size. I frogged my last project of 2025 and went to bed at like 10pm lol. I will start over this afternoon and double check what I’m doing this time. 🫶😮‍💨
If you need me I’ll be watching cartoons and crocheting mushrooms for the rest of the year.

I’ve never really cared much for New Year, like I not only not want to leave my house, the one time I did I was 18. It was the year 2000, a big deal. I went downtown with those goofy glasses and a paper top hat. Both were stolen before 10pm and I was manhandled in the crowd multiple times. G’night

The cats are just not settling in at night the last couple nights and it’s exhausting. Our new boy Gary is young, confident and big. Our old boy Kitty is nervous, small, and feeling out of place. I feel for him, but this transition period is taking forever. Everyone just SLEEP please! I’m exhausted.

Once again I’m sipping coffee, cuddling a cat at 5am, wondering if I’ll get anything done today.
Choose at least one:
🩷Brainstorm/test new designs
🩷Clean/organize HookN20
🩷Sign up for classes
🩷Work on hat commission
🩷Get tax stuff in order
🩷Laundry and shower/self care
🩷Clothing/books donation

You may not like it, but my favorite character is the adorable trash goblin Prince. If you need me I’m just outside waiting for him to wake up so I can feed him snacks. #ACNH 🐸

The holiday season may be starting to wind down, but the need for your support for small business never goes away.
