After the cake surprise, we took the chance to get mother-daughter photos together. I'm cracking up in most of these because Iva is such a ham! 😂 THANK YOU @openairjournal for these! If you need some backyard mini sessions done - @monikahubka of Open Air Journal is your woman! 💕

So fun to scheme with my sister @betsyledoux to surprise this amazing woman with an incredible cake. Wish my sis could be there to share the cake (because it was outta this world) but so thankful we could scheme up a surprise together 💕 Thanks for capturing this special day (and Nana's face when she saw the cake) @openairjournal 💕 Thanks for the amazing cake @amyscupcakeshoppe it was a delicious work of art! 💕

Looove this pom! Color: Charlotte 20% off right now! Link in bio 💕 Xoxo, Abbey

Great news! The pom shop is open! 🙌 Swipe to see colors and finish options (yarn tie, snaps, bands). 20% off regular priced poms 60% off clearance poms

Hope everyone is doing well! We've been busy - we decided to start moving in April because... Why not? Everything is shut down. And we got chicks 2 weeks ago! We are still organizing and unpacking but I promise I'll get back to poms & crocheting SOON! Xoxo, Abbey

I know I've been silent here on Instagram & Facebook. I know I'm not the only one who shuts down when things are tough. I needed a hard restart! But the sun is out here in MN and @elle.inspired and I are sharing our @blueskyfibers design contest entry #bsfwoolstokdesigncontest using their Woolstock #bsfbundles You guys. You MUST try this yarn! It's so springy and I LOVE all the different colors it comes in 😍 I made baby booties and a car seat blanket; Danielle made a bonnet and teething snuggly (teething ring coming soon... Shipping is taking longer than usual). Hope all of you are doing well. Xoxo, Abbey

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing okay with everything that's going on. I've been puzzling over what to do with my crochet classes since this is my job and we rely on the income. SO I HAVE A FUN IDEA!!! 1. Head on over to Etsy and purchase a crochet kit. https://www.etsy.com/listing/745354366/yarn-kits-ready-to-ship-hook-yarn-pom 2. Your purchase includes FREE virtual private lessons! We will meet over Facebook Messenger, Marco Polo or Skype for three 10 minute sessions or two 15 minute sessions. I have openings available on these days: Tuesdays 6 - 8 pm Central Time Thursdays 1 - 3 pm Central Time Saturdays 9 - 11 am Central Time

Last month I spent a few days in Grand Marais with Monika @openairjournal and I totally failed to share about it here in my feed! I shared lots in my stories, but those are literally here today and gone tomorrow. 😂 Our visit was over those crazy-cold February days we had in MN. And while the lake-effect held the temps a bit higher than they dipped in the Cities - it was still unbearable to have exposed skin near the breezy shoreline of Lake Superior. We saw the open water turn into ice over night, then break apart as the wind picked up. Otters and gulls made a game of it - gulls riding frozen waves and otters playing hide and seek between the sloshing cracks. We made this trip so we could spend one afternoon at the @northhousefolkschool for Fiber Friday during Fiber Week. It was incredible to be apart of this school for even a minute. Every person who came through the doors was so eager to learn. Even those who are masters at another craft were willing to sit with me a minute and let me teach them a little of what I know about crochet. People so kind and humble tried their hand at my favorite craft, told me about their work and shared a bit about thier life. Crocheting, for me, is like having tea - it's easier to carry on a conversation when your hands are kept busy. It takes all the pressure off of that pesky social expectation of needing to have the right thing to say at all times. Those sweet lulls in conversation are not as dramatic when you are trying to find the next stitch or concentrating on how to work the stitch. Some completed the small project (a coaster) and others just worked a few rows. It's always such a treat to watch students conquer a stitch for the first time! It was truly an honor to be there. I hope if you're in the area, you'll check out all this school has to offer! Xoxo, Abbey
