Getting back in touch

I’ve got some thoughts for you today that have been rolling around in my mind for a while.  I hope that it isn’t taken as an anti-internet rant, because it’s not.  I love the communication ability that we have, now.  It makes me so happy to be able to talk with my kids who live …

A bit out of character

I have just done something that may seem to be completely out of character.  I just finished a new design with a rather, umm, risque sort of theme.  Now, before I show you a sneak peek, I think this might require a little bit of explanation. It all began in the UK one day in …

The problem with being a creative

Things have been busy here at Bravewood, as usual. How could life be otherwise? The kids are all busy, Spring is just around the corner, so all of Nature is starting to bustle with activity after the lull of Winter.

My Cat Walks All Over Me

I have been working on a HUGE knitting design project lately.  I mean SUPER HUGE!  Well, at least it feels huge to me.  It all started with a custom sock order that I designed for a friend about a year ago.  She wanted some really tall, over the knee socks to wear with her boots.  …

Yarn diet? Yeah, right.

Yarn diet? Yeah, right. Blog post graphic.

All of you knitters and crocheters out there know how the story goes.  You’re young, you’re in love with this new crafting thing and you just can’t stop yourself.  You have to have yarn in order to knit (or crochet).  You buy a skein.  Then, you use up that skein but your project isn’t finished …

It’s a Woolly Life: what’s happening

It's a woolly life: what's happening

I’m going to be tote-woolly (bad pun) honest.  I started writing this blog post yesterday and then realized that I was just rambling about pretty much nothing, so I decided to delete it and start over again, because, you know, I could go on and on about all of the things going on, but it …
