I miss the old Etsy.
The one where handmade meant handmade, and crochet patterns were created by real people who loved the craft. Now my feed is full of AI‑generated crochet photos and patterns that don’t even work. It’s sad watching genuine creators get buried under automated listings. I’ll always support real makers — the ones who pour their time, skill, and passion into every stitch. I hope Etsy finds its way back to them.

Twenty years of you — my inspiring, creative, wonderfully unconventional daughter.
You’ve grown into someone who isn’t afraid to be different,
to make art out of life,
to turn your thoughts into something real.
You’re magic in human form, and I’m grateful every day that I get to be your mum.

Work in progress. I hate working with black yarn but I do love how she is looking

Tomorrow I’m diving into a Mary Poppins make for a customer.
