Here Comes Macra-May
Hello, my lovelies!
We are one week away from May and that much closer to summer (yes I'm already thinking about it!). I have been prepping for the month of May on the blog. I decided on a theme which I am really excited about. Let me introduce Macra-May! Every post next month will be Macrame related. There will also be a Youtube video tutorial in each post, so every Monday at 8am EST this month I will be releasing a blog post and Youtube video!
Here's what's coming: Basic Macrame Knots (5/2), Macrame Plant Hanger (5/9), Macrame Mermaid Tail Keychain (5/16) and Macrame Bracelet (5/23).
While you're waiting for Macra-May to begin, check out what you've missed below. New recipe, book recs and crafts from this past month!
Shop Update: My Reading Log bookmarks in my printables shop have been a hit! I've been adding a couple new things to the shop as well, more printable bookmarks, stationery and more. Take a look.
My main Etsy store is currently on "vacation" mode. I am making some changes, but I'll put it back up soon! Hopefully within the week.
I am also on Redbubble! You can get my designs on anything from postcards and greeting cards to shirts, sweatshirts, waterbottles, blankets, totes and more!
