The Maker Diaries is my monthly series where I let you see a little behind the scenes in to my life. Each month I share my to-do list and some things I have been loving. I hope you enjoy May’s Maker Diaries!
Happy May! I am beyond thrilled for this month! I am looking forward to a much needed break from the daily grind of the semester (but I will still be very busy working on other projects!). I am also looking forward to doing some other creative things this month like sewing (it’s been too long!) and baking. What are you up to for the month of May?
To-Do
- Update four existing patterns to the new format (my goal is to do one pattern a week)
- Plan out the rest of the designs for summer
- Start on my sewing project (and maybe even finish it!)
- Make a video for Youtube. I really want to get back into making videos for Youtube! What kind of videos would you like to see?
Loving
- Simple projects! April was extremely busy and stressful, and I really loved having some simple and mindless projects to work on.
- After two months of working on it, I finally finished updating and reformatting the Farmhouse Basket crochet pattern. I love the format that I created and I am excited to use it on all of my patterns moving forward!
- This is one of my favorite Youtube channels to watch right now! Desi’s feminine cottagecore style is so charming and inspiring!
- I’m currently working on two designs with Lion Brand Rewind and I can’t get over how soft, yet durable this yarn is. Be on the look out for a couple of designs coming this summer worked in this yarn! (the featured photo is a sneak peak of one of the designs!)
- Over the weekend I was able to have a slow Saturday morning and was wonderful (I haven’t had a Saturday morning like that since January!). I documented the quiet morning through an Instagram reel. I’m looking forward to many more slow and quiet Saturday mornings over the next few months…
