Sesame Street Crochet Patterns Roundup

Ever since I was a kid I’ve been obsessed with Sesame Street and Muppets. I’m still obsessed and keep a growing collection of Sesame Street toys on my desk at work to remind me to go out and play as often as possible. So I scooted around on Etsy and found the best Sesame Street crochet patterns for you (and my future reference 😉 )

Everything you need to know about life you can learn on Sesame Street – kindness, empathy, compassion, literacy…you name it, they’ve got it covered. And beyond what you see on the show, Sesame Street Workshop and the Yellow Feather Fund are out there in the world making a difference for as many children as they can reach. I’m a proud card carrying, pin wearing member of the Yellow Feather Fund because I so believe in the magic that is Sesame Street.

So for the holidays, I wanted to round up a bunch of my favorite Sesame Street crochet patterns for you to make for the kiddos (or overgrown kiddos like me!) in your life. The world needs as many Kermits, Ernies, Berts, Grouches, Big Birds, and Grovers as possible!

The ONE question you need to ask yourself

Our Saturdays go something like this: Morning routine Tidy the kitchen and living room Smalls therapy Laundry Cleaning Making art Writing Reading Relaxing Dinner Bed Sometimes they go like this: Morning routine Tidy the kitchen but Interrupted by epic meltdown/tantrum Trip to the hospital for crisis evaluation Home Recovery Bed Those are extreme examples; our…

Seeking Joy

The alarm went off. I smacked the “snooze button” and went back to sleep. A few months ago I tried to trick myself into waking up at 5 a.m. I’ve always been an early riser, but I wanted to get back to having productive mornings. The kind of mornings that enabled me to have enough…

Everything I thought I know about blogging, writing, creating, and making art was wrong. That's awesome! Read on to learn why it's important to get all of those *expert* voices out of your head and just do your own thing.

I was wrong about everything

Everything I thought I knew turned out to be wrong. And that’s ok. The past few months I haven’t had much to say here on the blog. I’d rather say one good thing once a year than 1,000 mediocre things over the course of a year. I’ve decided no one will assign my worth to…

2019: Wholehearted

I just looked at my 2018 Word post and laughed and laughed.

Art is a verb

You don’t need to be an artist to start making art. I’m going to tell you a secret art schools don’t want you to know:

It’s ok to make sucky art

Give yourself permission to suck. I can’t draw. If you’ve ever peeped my Insta, you know I tell no lies. But, I’ve developed a certain level of fearlessness about sharing my failures as I go because I learned that nothing bad happens when you share sucky art. So this is the story of why I…

Big Dream Alchemy – art journaling with intent

“…it’s absolutely possible to reinvent yourself.” – Patty Eskridge, Art Journaling Magazine (Oct/Nov/Dec 2018) When I read Patty’s words a couple weeks ago I got goosebumps. I’d been feeling discouraged about blogging and designing crochet patterns. Maybe discouraged isn’t the right word, because by all accounts my business has been growing and to most people…

Crochet Water Bottle Upcycled Vase

I’ve just got done cleaning out my craft room (more on that in a few days) and was overwhelmed by how many crafting materials I’ve accumulated over the years. I said to my husband when I was done, “If I can’t make something with what I have in here, I don’t need to make it…

The intersection of creating and mental health

Confession: I’m a mess. Most of the time I look like I have things pretty much together. But it’s a trick of light and careful editing. Creating is one of the things that supports my emotional well-being. Maybe it can help you too!
