About Me

Hey there! I’m Francine aka The Organised Crafterbrain.

What’s a crafterbrain you ask? Well it’s the brain of a multi-passionate creative person who knows where to find her stuff, how to plan out her projects, and how to make time to make all the things!

If your craft room, office, or studio situation overwhelms you right now, stick around and learn how to turn that scatterbrain into a crafterbrain!

Cast on the Sunday Cardigan by @petiteknit. I think I will enjoy working on this One! Most of my other recent projects have all been on fingering or lace weight yarn, so I am looking forward to a bulky knit that works up quickly.

The amaryllis commonly means beauty, and love, and are associated with strength and determination because of their height and sturdiness.
Amaryllis can also mean success, are commonly given as gifts of hard-won achievement, and is a Greek female name that means “to sparkle”.

And so this is my wish for you this year: success and achievement, but don't forget to sparkle.

It's easy at the start of the year to be thinking

It's easy at the start of the year to be thinking about your word, and how it relates to your life. We all start off with a bang! As time passes though, it might get pushed to the side. Here are three ways to keep your word close:

1. Find a quotation that relates to your word, and write it in your journal. You can do this at least once a month.
2. Make a vision board to help you visualise how you will live your word this year.
3. Make a reading list of books to support you all year long.

Save this post to refer back to!

What are some of the ways you keep your word close?

Getting ready to work on my memory planner! It's been wonderful getting back to a memory keeping practice. I'm still keeping it very simple. This is nothing like my scrapbooking of old. I'm enjoying using the Canon Ivy mini printer, my minimalist weekly planner, and stickers.

Here are my Make Nine knitting projects! I'm already working on one of them, and I'm collecting supplies for all the others. Let's see how it goes.

Current knitting WIPs. 🧶Floodlight Tee by Tanis

Current knitting WIPs.
🧶Floodlight Tee by Tanis Fiber Arts - almost done! Just ust need to finish the I-cord edges.
🧶Year Round Popover by Melissa Georges-making good progress on the yoke, will be dividing for sleeves soon!
🧶Mousseux by Espace Tricot-put this down in April last year, and am so glad to get going on it again. Working on the body now.
🧶Minimal Scarf by Ela Torrente - this is my at work project for when I have downtime.

I am trying really hard not to cast on all the things! My queue on Ravelry is quite long, but I am focusing on just a few at a time. I'm not allowed to cast on anything else, until I finish one of these.

What's on your needles right now?

I'm continuing with the same notebook for my craft

I'm continuing with the same notebook for my craft projects, and I decided to add a title page for 2023. Went a bit crazy with stickers, and listed the things that I want to work on this year.
