When my doctor told me to find something that works my hands’ fine motor skills, I was stumped. What in the world could I do to get my fingers working again? She mentioned crochet, hand sewing, cross stitch, and several intricate games. I had a ton of Turkish yarn I’d picked up before leaving the [...]

I hope you’re spending time with those you love. Above is a little 4th of July project Jerry nabbed for me. It’s a beautiful kit from Mary Maxims, which sounds a lot less innocent than the online craft emporium it is.

WIP Wednesday

During my visit home I was able to do some beautiful projects for my little cousin.

In our home, St. Patty’s Day is filled with almost as much hustle and bustle as American Thanksgiving. My husband did a recipe roundup of our favorites. Just check out his site for [...]

To Knit or Crochet…

March 1, 2011

To Knit or Crochet? Ah, the lifelong war of the yarnsters. Which one is more intricate, difficult, stylish, and/or the best craft in the world. The arguments are loud, obnoxious, and frequent in crafting circles. So which great craft should you pursue? Who the hell cares? If you’re new to either, pick one up and [...]

Welcome to Stitch and Bitchery

February 24, 2011

I like crafts. A lot. I love the feel of new yarn and old material. Felt pieces and cross stitch. Tapestry work and beading. Hello, my name is Jessica, and I’m a craft maniac. Almost two years ago I went on a trip halfway across the world. The Air Force sent me to Turkey…the yarn [...]
