Finally Making a Tiki Capsule Wardrobe!

April 26, 2024April 9, 2024 Lizzie Violet

I’ve been thinking about this for a really long time! Finally, I’m doing something about it!

A Tiki capsule-inspired wardrobe has been on my list of makes for a really, really long time. I’ve been collecting patterns and fabric for quite some time now. As part of my thoughtful sewing and knitting, I thought it was time to make a capsule wardrobe or two.

Well… I’ve finally come to admit it. I have too much yarn. Well… too many odds and ends of yarn!

In this video, I need your help! What to do with all of the yarn ball ends? Seriously!

Ode To Grandma Betty!

March 24, 2024March 23, 2024 Lizzie Violet

Today’s video is dedicated to my Grandma Betty!https://youtu.be/rty00D1so9A

Grandma Betty was a force! She was the woman who would be in your corner and would come out fighting for you. She was a knitter, a baker, a friend, a mother, and a grandmother, but most of all she was a person that everyone loved.

My Aunt Margie heard that I wanted to put together a book of Grandma Betty’s recipes. It turned out that she had many of her original recipes. (Later this month I will save a couple of them with you.) She photocopied all of them for me and put them together in a duotang. This red folder also contained many photos and a history of Grandma Betty. I am going to share some of these photos below.

One of the stories I forgot to share in the video is another of many about her generosity. My dad used to play Broomball and asked if Grandma Betty could knit him a tuque in the team colours (purple and yellow). She not only knit him a tuque, but she also knit one for every member of the team! That was how generous she was!

Every birthday we loved her Christmas and birthday cards (with a few dollars inside), her shortbread cookies, and our knitted gifts. Myself and my siblings always cherished ours. I truly wish I could find the Sherbert yellow shoulder warmer that Grandma made me.

Unfortunately, I no longer have any of the things she knit me. Sadly, they wear out over time. If past me had been thinking, I could have saved them all and framed them.

I think about her every single day. Occasionally, when I need a reminder to be strong, I can smell her Chantilly Lace perfume. I miss that woman more than I could ever explain. This is the reason why I talk about her so often. She is largely responsible for why I am the person I am today.

Just like Grandma Betty, if I’m sitting, I’m knitting.
