Hello everyone and welcome to 2026!
A lot happened in my life last year, my oldest child graduated and went off to college, and my youngest started high school this year. I worked on a lot of different art, experimenting with different mediums, circling around to return to crochet in the final months of the year.
One area where I feel like I had some revelations is with my art. I experimented with a lot of drawing and prints this past year, and felt an overwhelming call to bring my artwork in a new direction - one that incorporates all of my interests. Look forward to a lot of these experiments coming up on my socials - there's going to be some interesting stuff happening!
As I start 2026, I'm going to be taking most of my behind the scenes discussion of my work to my Patreon site. Over there you can expect to hear a lot more about the development of certain pieces, as well as some free patterns related to ongoing projects coming up this year! This post will probably be the only BTS content that appears on this blog this year.
One of my New Year's resolutions this year, I am calling it "The Finishing", is to complete as many of the WIP's that I am able to this year. And in cleaning out my studio, I found that I have far too many WIP's for my own good. (I have already started working on this - one project is almost completed and will hopefully be done this week?) If you're interested to see what I'm working on, my TikTok page has quite a bit of my project work on it, and as things get completed, they'll probably end up there.
So here's my list of what I want to complete and share with you all in 2026:
- "The Hat Book" - many years in the making, mostly sponsored by Patreon funds, and I have a game plan to finish it this year! This is going to be a gorgeous book, not just a pattern that goes on my Etsy - I hope to have it published and share it with the world this year! (Free hat patterns from are shared every month that they are completed over on my Patreon site!)
- "WIP Project" - also many years in the making, a WIP stash that is totally shameful! Let's finish it up and share some wisdom along the way. (Special feature on my TikTok/YT channels)
- "500 Crochet Stitches" - A project that I hope to start shortly, that will be featured on my TikTok! Featuring endless stitches from an awesome book!
- The AI Pants Pattern - Go check out the AI pants on my TikTok if you want to know what I mean. The roughcut pattern will release first on my Patreon and then a few weeks later to this blog.
