It’s getting warmer out there but the movement continues! Too hot for a hat? Try a miniature pin instead. Hand knit to approximately 1 ½", these little nuggets of dissent are the perfect addition to your spring/summer look. These will be available at the @handmadetoledo Maker’s Mart in a few weeks and will be added to the shop soon.

Friday funday in delicious green! This weekend is all about our Mother Earth who we’ve been treating terribly. Let’s grow out of our angsty, disrespectful teenage years and become the grateful and responsible adult children she deserves. Plant a tree, plant bee friendly flowers, participate in your local march, write a letter, make a call, educate yourself about where your money goes, teach your children, show that you care. Science matters. Facts matter. We’ve only got one Earth.

Hand copied and personally “translated” from Russian. Doing a test run with scrap yarn to see how it all shakes out because I am no Rosetta Stone. (I’m Ashley)

It’s meet your maker Monday! Hi! I’m Ashley and this is me just yesterday celebrating Rosie Day @bomberypsi Besides being a big fan of dress up, I am a designer and maker of fiber art, knitwear, and anything else that involves two needles and a ball of yarn. I am self-taught and love a good challenge so many of my pieces are actually experiments with new stitches or techniques. I am constantly learning. I think if there is any advice I can give to fellow makers is that anything can be learned. The information is out there and it’s just up to you to try. I guarantee you will surprise yourself.

Finally got this sucker framed. Called the blister stitch, it’s like having bubble wrap that never pops. The ultimate in frustrating fiber art.

Needing a bit of silliness today after becoming a walking pre-existing condition yesterday. If you’ve ever been to Ypsilanti you’ve spotted the iconic water tower whose shape receives an alternative perception so to speak. So of course I had to make one. Photo cred to Eridony on Flickr. Swipe to see my reversible wall hanging.

Bees! How cool are bees?? From royal jelly to their innate ability to create something as perfect as honeycomb, these guys are pretty cool. They are so important and need our help.

You know those nights that you can’t sleep and out of nowhere some childhood song or jingle shows up on repeat inside your head? I was blessed recently with that great American folk song “Buffalo Gals”. I excised it with this, changing “gal” to “girl” because “gal” gives me the creeps. Get thee gone!
