Hello Chaos & Chop Suey community! It's been a looooong time since I've posted, and for that, I apologize. I've been trying to get my life organized and find my missing crojo. It has been months since I really picked up my hook and yarn (I tried here and there, but haven't really finished a project in months). I haven't had a crochet-block like this since I started crocheting back in the fall of 2015. But I think I found my crojo this past weekend and my creative juices are slowly starting to flow again. My 2019 crochet calendar still needs to be finalized, and I'll let you all know more information when I have it (I still owe you guys a Christmas Harry Potter CAL!) I have some ideas, but trying to figure out how to work those in with a full time job outside the home. Thanks for being patient with me this year--I'm trying to come back strong! Thank you for all your concerning messages--I have missed this community of yarnaholics! #chaosandchopsuey #crojo #missingcrojo #foundit #yarnastherapy #crochetastherapy #yarntherapy #yarn #crochet #imback #notgoinganywhere #makersgonnamake #maker #makerlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BupR8ZvhgMW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uabcun8newbc

#Repost @chaosandchopsuey (@get_repost) ・・・ I have the greatest friends. I got sidetracked and didn't make it down to @faypieco in time to grab my own Harry Potter pie, but no problem--my friend grabbed one for me along with a Jamaican Me Hungry savory pie. And a butter beer! And oh my goodness, that Jamaican curry smells A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! Though, I fear she may be trying to tell me something with that Slytherin pumpkin pie...;) It's so delicious, I don't even mind that the Slytherin color. But, I have been warned, "Beware the heir!" #fayettevillepiecompany #harrypotter #jamaicancurry #pumpkinpie #butterbeer #slytherin #wronghouse #stillloveyou #bewaretheheir #hpforever #harrypotterforever (at Fayetteville Pie Company)

It's so cold today, I put on legwarmers. I've only ever worn legwarmers while I was figure skating or coaching. Lol! #chaosandchopsuey #coldweather #winter #winterclothes #legwarmers #bringbackthe80s #socoldmyfacehurts #iwantsnow https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdULjxAjaa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ajv7vvzwx9eg

I love looking back at my crochet journey. 2 years ago, one of my (then) 4 year-olds decided to "help mommy" with my WIP and cut off all my ends BEFORE I was able to weave them in. He was so proud of himself for helping me out. Do any of you have any "helper" stories? #chaosandchopsuey #crochet #wip #wipwednesday #toddlers #momlife #makerlife #makeragonnamake #opps #mommyshelper #mommyslittlehelper #yarn #crochetlover #crochetlife #yarnlife #yarnlover https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsa9ISCgClx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eib0jc2c85gq

Playing around with wire, headbands, and flowers today. Any guesses for what I'm attempting to make?

Every year when we go to Disney World, I make our family a set of matching t-shirts to wear one day while we're there. Last time we went, we were The Incredibles. This year, I opted for a fun play on Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Everyone has an ice cream cone applique on the front of their shirt. #chaosandchopsuey #wdw #disney #mickeymouse #mickeyandminnie #minniemouse #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #disneyvacation #disneyprep #disneyfamily #disneyfamilyshirts #makersgonnamake #makermovement #maker #makerstrong #craftymomma #craftymom

Found a new use for my Ottlite! Peace and quiet. The kids are in bed, I have a mug of warm tea, Olympic figure skating is on the tv, and I can do a little bit of my puzzle! This introvert here can refill my energy meter with all this quiet alone time! #chaosandchopsuey #makersgonnamake #bedtime #kidsareinbed #olympics ##pyeongchang2018 #freedance #puzzletime #puzzle #ottlite #peaceandquiet #ottlite #jigsawpuzzle #quiettime

To close out 2017, take a gander at my #2017bestnine. It was a wonderful year of yarn and crochet. I grew and learned a lot last year and can't wait to see what 2018 will bring! #chaosandchopsuey #thatsawrap #2017best9 #crochetgirlgang #crochet #iloveyarn #gilmoregirls #handmade #shopsmall #myhappyplace #chaosandchopsueyfriendscal #chaosandchopsueygreasecal #hocuspocus

Hope you made some memories over the Thanksgiving holidays! I know we sure did! Just in time for the cozy cold weather, here is my Harry Potter sweater-style blanket graph! Because Harry Potter and blankets should go together--especially when it's sweater weather outside (just not here in the south...the south can't make up it's mind.) You can use this to crochet yourself up a large blanket, or cross stitch 'til your heart's content--I've got it all in the pattern (two brands of yarn colors and DMC colors for your cross stitchers out there!) You can grab your copy here in my Etsy store!

When you 'crochet and wine,' sometimes you have to frog because you're easily distracted and lose count.

Happy Fall! My favorite time of the year is here! Though our day time temps don't scream "FALL!!!" at me, the night time weather surely makes me feel like Fall is s-l-o-w-l-y on its way. To celebrate the first day of fall and all things apple-y and pumpkin-y, I have designed some FREE fall themed graphs you can grab on my blog! My FALL TRIO graphs are the perfect size for turning into a seasonal throw pillow! Or, you can always put them together in a grid of your choosing and make a small lap blanket. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go curl up with a mug of some hot apple cider! To snag your copy of all 3 graphs--hot apple cider, pumpkin spice latte, and fall pumpkin, head on over to my blog (link in profile). #chaosandchopsuey #fallyall #firstdayoffall #autumn #firstdayofautumn #autumnequinox #crochet #crochetlover #yarn #yarnlover #makersgonnamakes #crochetersoffacebook #crochetersofinstagram #crochetgirlgang #iloveyarn #ilovecrochet #hotapplecider #pumpkinspicelatte #pumpkinspice #pumpkin #coffee #starbucks

I'm becoming more and more official every day. I now have my very own logo! I combined my love of graphing and yarn to design this logo. Keep your eyes open for it--I'm excited to start using it! #chaosandchopsuey #etsy #makerlife #makersgonnamake #crochetpatterns #customgraphs #crossstitchlife #crossstitch #crochetlife #crochet #crochetlove #crossstitchlove #crochetgirlgang #etsystore #etsyshop #shopsmall #branding #logo #watermark
