When I started this blog, I was living in a small apartment with two little ones. Life was busy, space was limited, and my love for crafting had to share space with everything else. Over the years, with hard work and saving, we moved into a townhouse—a step up from where we began.
Yet, even now, I don’t have a dedicated yarn room. I've seen beautiful craft rooms filled with colorful yarn, perfectly organized on shelves, and I often think about how wonderful it would be to have a space just for my crochet projects and supplies.
Currently, my desk is in my bedroom, and my computer camera faces the stairs. It’s practical, but far from the inspiring, cozy craft room inspiration you see on Pinterest. Since my job requires occasional virtual meetings, I wanted something more uplifting and fun for my backdrop.
Christmas is a season of creativity and celebration, and what better way to count down the days than with unique laser-cut Christmas projects? From intricate decorations to practical countdown calendars, laser technology allows you to craft personalized pieces that bring festive charm to your home.
These projects make stunning additions to your Christmas decor or thoughtful Christmas gifts for loved ones. Whether you’re working with wood, acrylic, or other materials, a laser machine can transform your holiday ideas into elegant reality.
With my xTool M1 laser cutter/engraving machine, I found that I was able to quickly create Christmas gifts with ease. Even if I have to rush some last-minute gifts!
Imagine crafting detailed Christmas tree decorations, playful reindeer designs, or custom gift tags with precision and ease. These laser-cut decorations combine functionality with magic, making them perfect for the holiday season.
Looking for inspiration? We’ve rounded up some of the most creative laser-cut Christmas countdown projects to get you started.

The Barbie movie that came out this year starring Margo Robbie and Ryan Gosling is the movie of the summer. With a remarkable four-week run as the No. 1 movie and an unprecedented gross exceeding $1.36 billion, it claimed the title of 2023's highest-grossing film.
For someone like me, who typically opts for the coziness of home movies vs. the bustling movie theatres, the Barbie Movie was a rare exception. I was so excited to see this movie since I caught sneak peek photos of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in their Barbie Movie attire last year.
As the leaves begin to turn and the crisp breeze fills the air, the enchanting season of autumn takes center stage. What better way to embrace its cozy charm than by decorating our spaces with charming crochet pumpkins?
These delightful crochet pumpkins are not your typical crochet pumpkins. I've purposely handpicked the most unique and FREE crochet pumpkin patterns from the Internet for you to enjoy.
They not only add a touch of handmade warmth to your home but they also offer a canvas for artistic expression.

But someone who crochets for a hobby isn't a worthy adversary — Wednesday Addams
That's what she thinks when the truth is that more than half of us are actually crocheting to keep ourselves from choking people.
To be honest, though, as someone whose main hobby is crocheting, I am unquestionably not worthy of being an adversary to Wednesday Addams. She'd kick my butt in 2 seconds -- I wouldn't even need piranhas!
As we approach the end of the school year, it's time to start thinking about teacher appreciation gifts! I'm not a former teacher or anything, but I see the amount of effort and work teachers put in during the school year.
While there are many gift options to choose from, there's something special about handmade gifts that can truly express your gratitude. After all, they're educating the next generation to become valuable members of society.
As a crafter and crochet enthusiast, I've put together a round-up of some of my favorite crochet projects that would make perfect gifts for teachers. So grab some yarn and a crochet hook and get started on making something special for your favorite teacher!

Have you ever heard of Disneybounding? Disneybounding is a growing trend among Disney fans that involves dressing up in outfits inspired by their favorite Disney characters, without wearing actual costumes.
Why do people Disneybound?
This trend is particularly popular among Disney adult fans in Disney Parks because the park has a dress code that states that guests ages 14 and up are not allowed to wear costumes in the park. Disneybounding was a way for Disney adult fans to express their creativity while still adhering to the theme park's dress code.
And when you want to bring up the creativity notch one more level, let's try making our own Disneybounding pieces by crocheting them! I've been taking subtle elements of my favorite Disney characters and turning them into what I imagined would be if they were living in the real world now.
There's only one more month until Christmas! The kids couldn't wait to get the house decorated and have been begging us to get the Christmas tree out. So my home has been ready to receive Christmas since the day after Remembrance Day.
So we got our Christmas Tree out now that we actually have a place for it, and of course, our Crochet Christmas Tree that I made a few years ago. I love how this flat Christmas Tree with flat Christmas bauble ornaments has continued to be a part of our family Christmas tradition.
As I am typing up this blog post, my kids are drafting up their letters to Santa thanking him for their present last year and asking for something new this year.
Christmas Advent Calendars are a great way to continue building up the excitement until Christmas morning and make wonderful gifts for kids, especially when they're reusable year after year!
While shopping on Etsy, I've found some beautiful Advent Calendars that I thought I'd share with you all!

I loved Halloween as a kid! Like, what kid doesn't? Walking around the neighborhood in the evening, all dressed up, walking door-to-door collecting candy that will last me for the next year.
When I got a little older, maybe 10 or 11 years old, I found myself much more self-conscious and didn't enjoy dressing up for Halloween as much. Halloween also became a lot more "sexy," and I didn't really vibe with that.
