When Christmas spirit meets creative problem-solving

You know that moment when you're looking around your space thinking about Christmas decorations, and instead of buying more stuff, your brain goes: "What if I could transform what I already have?"

Enter the tiny Santa hat. Because apparently, my solution to seasonal decorating is to crochet accessories for my Funko Pops.

When good ideas get festive

Remember when I mentioned making Christmas napkin rings in my Halloween post? Well, I couldn't wait until December – the first one is already off the hook!

From Halloween to Christmas

The technique remains beautifully unchanged: wooden curtain ring foundation, single crochet base, double crochet ruffles, and a contrasting border. But oh, what a difference the colors make!

Thirty-one days, one complete warband

November 1st feels like the perfect moment to step back and marvel at what October brought: a complete goblin warband, born from the daily discipline of the Goblintober challenge.

The Challenge Complete

What started as a creative experiment became a month-long journey of character design, storytelling, and artistic growth. Thirty-one days, thirty-one unique goblin miniatures, each with their own personality, role, and backstory.

Goblintober is complete! The final 16 days brought us specialists, leaders, and chaos-bringers to round out our goblin warband. Here's the second half of the challenge:

Day 16: The Skirmisher

Armed with a throwing axe and nerves of… well, something close to steel, this goblin dances on the edge of danger. Get too close, and you'll find out just how accurate those throws really are.

When a good idea gets bigger

Sometimes the best projects come from asking "what if I made this... but different?" After the success of my daughter's Halloween scrunchie, I had a lightbulb moment: what if I used the same technique but on something rigid instead of stretchy?

The evolution of an idea

The scrunchie technique was so satisfying – that simple progression of single crochet foundation, double crochet ruffles, and single crochet border. But instead of wrapping around a stretchy hair elastic, what if I wrapped around something solid and rigid?

When Instagram inspiration meets parental love

Sometimes the best projects are the ones that make someone else smile. This little Halloween scrunchie started with a scroll through Instagram and ended with a very happy daughter.

Instagram inspiration strikes

I was browsing through my feed when I stumbled across this adorable scrunchie pattern and immediately thought of my daughter. She absolutely loves accessories, and with Halloween just around the corner, it seemed like the perfect little project.

Goblintober is halfway done! The first 15 days have brought us a diverse collection of goblins, from frontline fighters to mystical shamans. Here's a look at what's been created so far:

Day 1: The Spear-Guard

The Spear-Guard may hold the line for this foundational warband member designed to maintain defensive positions. Spear and shield at the ready, this is the first line of goblin defense.

When you wing it and it actually works

Sometimes the best projects happen when you throw the pattern out the window and just... go for it.

Meet my latest amigurumi: a little Halloween pumpkin that exists purely because I had some orange yarn, a vague idea, and absolutely no plan whatsoever.

My latest yarn adventure

I have a confession: I'm completely hooked on crochet. And yes, that pun is absolutely intended.

I've always loved manual work – there's something deeply soothing about creating something with your hands. Some years ago, I taught myself basket weaving, which I absolutely love, but it takes up quite a bit of space, so I don't do it as often as I'd like.

From TTRPG dreams to paper goblins

So, I've been keeping a secret from you all. Well, not exactly a secret, but something I've been working on quietly in the background while juggling everything else: Korrigan Press.

What is Korrigan Press?

Korrigan Press is my small indie TTRPG publishing venture – a one-man adventure born from years of scribbled plot notes and late-night dice rolls. The name comes from the cunning, capricious fae of Breton lore – creatures known for surprising strength, boundless curiosity, and a touch of mischief. Seemed fitting, really.

My geek blog is born... finally!

Hello everyone!

That was my everything-goes space – a mix of tech tutorials, hand-drawn art, TTRPG session reports, optical illusions, and 3D printing adventures, along with whatever random topic had caught my attention that week.
