DRab not drab

is so soft and so cozy that even with it is a treat.



I made a few over the week and posted them on my Etsy this morning 😊 Link in bio. I wore mine earlier this week taking h to his tutor... I love it! I have a purple one in the works too.


Pattern is by ❤️ I love their stitches and patterns, and this one works up pretty quickly!

Lots of hat-making this summer, including these hats. Mostly as gifts, plus one for h with the for . Recently (or maybe it's been a few months) talked to a mom whose son was mainstreamed, and was being bullied by his classmates 💔

What got us through the summer, barely sane: lists of rules, schedules, and token boards. So glad it's over and we're back to school soon!

My phone camera can't capture the color 😒 it's a gorgeous dusty lavender. Yarn is Bernat baby cotton. Pattern is a luna lovegood inspired skinny scarf... perfect for a (or not)



I know, really 🤷🏾‍♀️

I mostly love the end result! But so many lessons learned.... Mostly they all boil down to picking the right yarn for the right project. I love the Bernat home dec, perfect chunkiness, perfect color, super soft, but way tooooo stretchy for anything that needs any kind of structure. I already have a second one in the works, but moving forward I'll be using 100% cotton *non-stretchy* yarn for bags/totes/purses.

Prepping for an iftar tonight 🙈


Thank you for this perfect 💙


around here 😒 always working on *sigh*

It's been a busy couple weeks and haven't been making as much 🤷🏾‍♀️ ✨🌙

These are the magnetic memo boards and prayer magnets that I originally wanted to list as a mix-and-match option before Ramadan began... Maybe I'll get them listed before Eid 🙈

Note: the 🌞 board is supposed to be in a white frame but my scatter brained self can't find the white frames I got at Michael's last week🤦🏾‍♀️

What other designs would you like to see? These were made with supplies/stencils/paint I already had on hand, but always love hearing more ideas on "themes" and designs!

Handmade - please excuse imperfections, they really just add to the character of the item :)
