Iāve been winding down my custom work lately to focus on other things, but one of my recent projects was for @craftindustryalliance and their booth swag for @hhamericas .
Their mission to connect and support different crafty businesses was why I signed on to the project, and working with co-founder, Abby, was such a great experience.
The concept for this swag was to take cliche boardroom phrases and *tailor* them to a craft-appreciative crowd. This collection turned out so punny and playful, itās been so fun seeing peopleās reactions so far online.
Iām always so appreciative of anyone who considers me for their creative projects. Thank you Craft Industry Alliance for working with an independent artist and putting your trust in my work. š¤
Thank you so much for shopping the Spring Cleaning sale! I dropped most of your packages off at the post office on Friday, but about 6 orders came in a little later. These will get placed on the stoop for pickup today, which means another doodle for *our* USPS man š¤.
@shelli.can will be back at Flock and we're just dying to see what she's been working on...because if it's Shelli, it's bound to be good!ā

"Hi, Iām Shelli, an Illustrator, Designer, and lifelong maker with a love for yarn, drawing, and especially doing things with both. I donāt just make things for fiber artists, I am one too, always plucking away at one of my many WIPs or casting on something new.ā
ā
When I'm not busy crafting, you can find me hanging out with my pup, Birdie, or cruising around the local bike trails.ā
ā
At the heart of it all, creating is what keeps me energized and inspired. I love making things for makers like you and I hope you find something here that makes you smile."
On your mark. Get set. Make!
Makerās Dozen Treat Tins contain 13 delectable maker tools and accessories all packed inside a custom cookie tin. There are 7 left in the shop right now. Items also sold individually.
I love my postman!!!! Heās literally the best. He picks up my small batches of orders, walks heavy boxes up the stairs for me, gives Birdie cookies, and always holds the door open if he sees my arms are full š. (Donāt worry I make sure to take care of him right back with treats and gifts of my own.)
Anyway. For the longest time Iāve left a post-it note on my little package stacks thatās says āUSPS PICKUP PLEASEā with a little š¤ because I love him. The other day he says, āDonāt worry about the words just leave the āš¤ā Iām good with thatā, so since then Iāve been making special post-it doodles with all the hearts just for him.
Iāve been having the most fun creating new doodles for every note. Then I thought it could be fun to start sharing them here. So thatās what Iām gonna do.
Ok, thatās all, bye!
A special update! Our friends over at @vogueknittingonline had a handful of extra bandanas from @dreareneeknits keynote gala. They shared them with me so I could offer them in my shop. Thank you VKL!
These super soft, 100% cotton bandanas are cut, sewn, printed, and washed by hand in the USA. They are such a special wearable keepsake.
This design was exclusive for the event and will not be reprinted. $34 each. In the shop now.
On the flip sideā¦
Have you picked your colors yet? The #DoubleKnittens pattern drops tomorrow.
I used @brooklyngeneralstore ās Skydance Fibers Nova in āTable In The Shadeā and āIn The Pinesā. You can mirror my picks, or use any fingering weight yarn š§¶š¤.

Get ready to do a double takeā¦ the #DoubleKnittens are coming next week!
The perfect project for cold fingies, double knitting creates two layers of fabric and a fully reversible design making these mittens twice as warm and twice as cute.
Knit with @brooklyngeneralstore ās Skydance Fibers Nova, a blend of merino, alpaca, linen, and silk, these mittens will be soft, strong, and oh so snuggly.
If youāve been bitten by the bug of double knittinā like me, these are such a fun and rewarding project. And even if youāre new to the technique, you should still be able to follow along pretty easily. I canāt wait to share this pattern with you next week!
