Wind, Yarn, and a Whole Lot of Heart | October 30, 2025

🎪 Craft-Show Reflections

Murrell’s Inlet gave us quite the adventure last weekend — brisk winds, flying signs, and a few brave stuffies who tried to escape across the lawn! 💨🧸
Despite the chill, the day was filled with laughter, smiles, and so many lovely visitors who stopped by to chat and share their own crochet memories.

Even though it wasn’t my best sales day, I left feeling grateful — every person who admired a plush, asked a question, or simply said “your work is beautiful” reminded me how special it is to connect through handmade creations. 💜

📸 Here’s the Safari Friends table before the wind tried to redecorate! 😂
Snoopy, Leo the Lion, and the little red-capped mushroom all found new homes — next time, I’m bringing a second lion for sure! 🦁💜

💬 Ask Nana – Crochet Q&A

This week, a few folks at the show asked me, “How do you keep smiling when the wind’s whipping and the animals jumping off the tables?”
My answer? A cup of coffee, a good laugh, and remembering that handmade is all about heart. 💕

If you’ve ever got a question — about yarn, patterns, or crafting life — just hit reply. I love sharing what I’ve learned (and laughing about what I haven’t mastered yet). 😄

💬 From the Attic

Every fall, as I pack up my creations for another craft show, I think about the homes they’ll travel to — nurseries, reading nooks, and holiday gift boxes waiting to be opened. It means the world to know my handmade pieces become part of your stories. Thank you for letting a bit of Nana’s Attic magic into your lives. ✨

Blessings From the Attic,

Nana Dawn
