Hello my crafty friends, 2020 has been a year…and it is only July! If you’re like me, your yarn and hook have been helping you through. I’m looking forward to putting my hook to use even more this fall to share handmade gifts with friends and family to let them know how much I care about them.
Week 15 of Crafty Time with Jessie was the last full week of videos. Moving forward videos will be on Thursdays only, still at 11 am eastern time. This is all part of transitioning to our new-new normal. I don’t want to go back to what we were, I want us to be even better! So keep making beautiful creations and spreading kindness.

Week 14 of Crafty Time with Jessie demonstrated how the only thing constant is change. Things got a little heavy on Wednesday, but sometimes that’s part of life and change and growing. On a lighter note, there was cool embroidery and new crochet and general fiber fun!

Starting several weeks ago various members of the Joy Creators/Stitch Ambassadors for Spinrite/Yarnspirations/Red Heart started sending emails to Spinrite asking them to take a stand against racism and make and implement an actionable plan to ensure inclusion and anti-racism in their company and in those they choose to represent them. These emails fell on deaf ears.
Week 13 of Crafty Time with Jessie has been a bit of a rough week. I’ve had to remind myself several times that it’s OK to not be OK. Everything will be fine, but sometimes you just have to deal with a cruddy week. Thankfully I have awesome friends who always make things better. And of course, having 12 year olds who still cuddle on the couch with me helps a whole lot as well! Let’s not forget the wonderful stress-relieving powers of crafting. And of course, my lives with all of you have been very therapeutic as well. Thank you!

Week 12 of Crafty Time with Jessie has been off-the-wall! OK, I may be feeling a bit punny, but we did make a pretty wall hanging. On Thursday and Friday I also inadvertently demonstrated how sometimes the road to success travels through failure first, and how sometimes I think I know more than I do. You can’t be afraid to make mistakes, just go with it and learn from them!

This has been an intense and important week for the world, and especially the USA. I have continued to hold my daily live videos because of the number of people who have told me it helps them feel less alone. However, I’ve held back a lot of my other posts as I’m taking time to listen, to learn, to grow, and to try to help in this fight against racism and oppression. I hope you will join me in standing with our black brothers and sisters and others along with me. Those of you who we are standing with, you are seen, you are heard, you are loved.

I LOVE organization and now I have the New Cricut Machine Tool Organizer! It’s so nifty. I’ve been wanting to expand my Cricut Tool collection so I can cut All The Things, and now I can have that creativity within arms reach and without having to worry about cutting myself as I look for the right tool, or losing a tool.
Week 10 of Crafty Time with Jessie included so many ways to display your needlepoint, embroidery, & cross stitch creations. There’s more than just hoops. We also chatted quite a bit about mental health while crafting. Remember my friends, it’s OK to not be OK. Just be good to yourself and others. I care about ALL of you.

Overlay Crochet took the crochet world by storm a few years ago and it’s popularity has stayed. It’s a stunning textured crochet technique that works in solid colors or multiple colors.
