Key Street Creations

Book lovers, is tomorrow! I'm so excited this is my first event of the year. I can't wait to meet new bookish friends and hopefully see some familiar faces! Let me know below if you are attending. 😊

I have been really into organizational makes lately (I blame 😂) and the Stitch and Go Case from has been on my list for a while. I love to cross-stitch while watching TV with my husband in the evening and this case is going to make it so easy to keep all my materials easily accessible.

I've been hanging on to this crafting cat fabric until the perfect project came along and I would say I found the one! 😍 I also adjusted the pattern to include a snap closure so my cats would not be tempted to play with the elastic. 😹 And even though I forgot to include the "perfectly imperfect" label I recently bought, I did remember the "handmade with love" one from !

If you enjoy cross-stitching, I can't recommend this pattern enough!

My Goodreads Year in Books! I loved embracing audiobooks for my 40 minute commute this year and am kicking myself for not starting this earlier. But I definitely didn't think it would get me to 39 books this year, and I'm finishing #40 now! Another surprise for me is how much I enjoyed mystery/thrillers, which I never really read before this year.

Did you have any surprises in your year in books? What books should I add to my TBR for 2026?

I shared this in my stories a few days ago, but I'm currently obsessed with the Celine Pouch from . 😍 And I'm only showing 3 of the 5 options included in the pattern. The pattern is well written and the pouches come together quickly. I was able to make a dozen of them for Christmas gifts in no time!

If you are looking for a new project for the new year, definitely check these out!

I recently listened to The Diamond Eye and Kate Quinn is quickly becoming one of my favorite Historical Fiction authors! I found this story of a Russian woman who wanted to be a historian turning into a deadly WWII sniper captivating.

Do you have a favorite historical fiction book or author?

Today is your last chance to shop from me in-person! I'm at the craft show until 3:00. There are dozens of vendors set up throughout the library, so it's a fantastic opportunity to buy handcrafted gifts for your loved ones (or yourself 😉).

How fun is this winter fabric from Rifle Paper Co.??? I absolutely love the little penguins! 🐧

Books sleeves in this fabric will soon be available at in Media, PA and A Boatload of Books in Eastport, ME. I will also have a couple with me at my last market of the year on Dec. 13 at !

It's a beautiful day for a craft show! 100s of artisans have taken over the streets of Lititz for the annual Rotary Club Craft Show. We are here until 4 and I am located in front of Linden Hall on Main Street. Come say hi!

Which of these messages stands out to you most? For me it's "make a difference", but I like seeing all of these as little personal challenges/goals.
