Holo Taco Off The Deep End Collection
We’ve been blessed with a jelly flake formula collection called Off The Deep End. It reminds me of a more jelly version of the Birthstone Collection’s Emerald City and Topaz Tears. I was pretty excited about this formula when I purchased the collection and it definitely did not disappoint when it arrived.
Crochet Booty Bears
I got to visit with some of my neighbor family when I went home earlier this year and decided I wanted to crochet something for some of the new additions that would be arriving soon. I tend to crochet bears and found the adorable Booty Bear pattern from PeachPenguinCrochet on Etsy. I knew the recipients would get a kick out of the little booties on the bears, so I bought the pattern and got to work.
Holo Taco x DAVIDsTEA Collection
Cristine has always been a tea lover - especially from DAVIDsTEA so both a tea and a polish collab make total sense to me. The polish colors are gorgeous and I was so excited to get a Holo Taco branded Nordic mug since I’ve always thought the DAVIDsTEA mugs were so neat. I also like the special box this collection arrived in (I think she termed it a super carton?) - it’s pretty without taking up oodles of space.
Skull and Cones Sweater
I started on this neat Skull and Cones Sweater from alice.in.crochetland on Instagram last September thinking I’d have it ready by Halloween. Things did not go as planned and I’m just now finishing it up, but I’m pleased with my finished top!
Holo Taco Declassified Tacos Set [002]
As rumored, Cristine released another set of prototypes that didn’t make it into any other collections.
My 2024 in Books
In the second half of 2024, I got back into reading after a really long break thanks to my friends AT and SC. They’ve gotten me hooked on romance, so I thought it would be interesting to take a look at my Good Reads year in books and document it here.
Clippy Amigurumi
I decided to continue the streak of crocheting something Clippy for Jeff’s office white elephant party. Last year, I made a tapestry. This year, I found this cute Clippy amigurumi pattern from Allison Hoffman of CraftyisCool and decided I just had to make it.
