About

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully you can tell by looking around that I like to make things. I learned how to crochet a little over 3 years ago, but dropped it as soon as my first child was born. I now have two little ones, ages 2 and 3 who provide endless joy and inspiration to my day. As they’ve gotten older, I’ve been able to pick up my crafting a bit and have learned to sew and knit.  I hope to share my makings and offer any tips that I come across along the way. Please feel free to comment on posts. I know very few crafty-folks in my “real” life and would love to get to know you!

And…in case you were wondering…

Here’s the nursery rhyme from which my blog name was derived:

Hickety Pickety

hickety, pickety, my black hen,

she lays eggs for gentlemen

gentlemen come every day

to see what my black hen doth lay

sometimes 9 and sometimes 10

hickety, pickety, my black hen

I’ve also seen it written as “my fat hen.”  Either way, I like the imagery and how it ties into both blogging and making.

See ya soon!
