This year, we decided to spread some holiday cheer with handmade personalized name keychains for our kids’ classes! Using the xTool M1—a laser cutter, engraver, and blade cutter—we created unique gifts that added a special touch to the season.

As the leaves turn and the air grows cooler, fall is the perfect time to embrace cozy crafts celebrating the season. As much as I love curling up with my crochet hooks and a cozy ball of yarn, sometimes it's refreshing to try something new!
If you're an experienced crocheter like me, you already know the joy of working with your hands. But when it comes to learning a new craft, it can feel a little intimidating, especially if you're used to sticking to yarn and hooks!
That's why I’ve rounded up a few fall-inspired craft kits that are perfect for autumn enthusiasts. These craft kits will take you outside your crochet comfort zone, while still capturing that handmade magic we all love.
Whether you're looking to create Halloween decorations, autumn home décor, or just try a new craft, these kits are perfect for adding a touch of autumn to your crafting space. From embroidery to needle-felting and beyond, there's something here for every maker.

Every now and then, I dabble in crafts that are not crochet and I have fun doing it! If you love Disney and Taylor Swift, you'll want to check out this DIY project!
Earlier this year, our family took a Disney Cruise vacation! Disney Cruise vacations are not cheap, so to help with costs, we chose to take one of their shorter 4-day repositioning cruises from Vancouver to San Diego on the Disney Wonder. It was a great way to get a taste of cruising with Disney without breaking the bank!
Every Disney vacation deserves something special made like all my other Disney vacations. I usually craft a lot as preparation and help build up excitement!
About a month ago, Makeblock reached out to me and asked if I was interested in reviewing their latest product. So here I am, introducing the world's first laser and blade-cutting machine: the xTool M1.
This post is a bit different from what I normally share on my blog, but I'm very excited about it and I hope you are too because the xTool M1 is really COOL!
There's only one more month until Christmas! The kids couldn't wait to get the house decorated and have been begging us to get the Christmas tree out. So my home has been ready to receive Christmas since the day after Remembrance Day.
So we got our Christmas Tree out now that we actually have a place for it, and of course, our Crochet Christmas Tree that I made a few years ago. I love how this flat Christmas Tree with flat Christmas bauble ornaments has continued to be a part of our family Christmas tradition.
As I am typing up this blog post, my kids are drafting up their letters to Santa thanking him for their present last year and asking for something new this year.
Christmas Advent Calendars are a great way to continue building up the excitement until Christmas morning and make wonderful gifts for kids, especially when they're reusable year after year!
While shopping on Etsy, I've found some beautiful Advent Calendars that I thought I'd share with you all!

I returned home from Disneyland about a month ago, and I have been going through a Disney withdrawal since. I've been watching walkthroughs of the park and listening to music that they normally play on Main Street, USA.
It's incredible what kind of effect Disney Parks have on me.
Disney people are my kind of people. There's something about that place where once you walk through the gates, it's suddenly OK to let your inner child free. In other words, I'm not ashamed to be a Disney adult.

Once you step into the park, it's not silly anymore to wear mouse ears, sit in a pirate ship and fly above London with Peter Pan, or get excited to meet Mickey Mouse even though you know it's an actual person inside that costume. It even felt natural to wear a Minnie Mouse polka-dot dress out in public!
Not sure if you've ever been curious and just searched "clever business cards" or "business card designs" just for the heck of it, but there are some really neat ones out there!
When I was designing my business card, I knew that besides having information to visit my blog, I wanted them to also be functional as well! I searched all over the internet for inspiration and decided to go with something crafty to suit my audience's needs!
Did you know that this clever business card design can turn into a mini pompom maker?
Do you remember playing with these reusable sticker books from when you were little? They had these waxy/laminated pages where you can stick and peel off stickers without ruining/ripping them.
I really wanted to get one for BB so that she could have her own sticker collection one day! Right now, she just sticks them on me.
Most sticker pads I've encountered nowadays have the recommended age of 3 and up printed on them. However, from what I've read online, many parents introduced stickers at around 18 months (with supervision, of course) as activities to help build fine motor skills.
I personally love stickers, and couldn't wait to introduce stickers to BB as soon as I felt that she was ready for them. Mui Mui, unfortunately, is still a bit too young to appreciate them.
I didn't think much of Moana when I first saw the movie. But it definitely grows on you when your 3-year-old asks you to watch it with her three times a day.
The movie is actually quite a masterpiece and the music is absolutely beautiful! I can listen to the soundtrack all day long!
We are heading on a family vacation to Hawaii this year and BB keeps saying that she wants to go look for the Heart of Te Fiti in Hawaii. I wish I knew where to look...?
She has been obsessed with little gems, rhinestones, and marbles for a long time now. So when there was a movie that centered around a glowing green rock, I was not surprised that she would ask for one.
This girl just loves her bling!
Sadly, it's not exactly the easiest thing to find available commercially. But hey, I'm always up for a good DIY!
