New Year’s Resolutions & A Giveaway!

December 30, 2018

Hi everyone! It’s been quite here on the blog for awhile. I was sooooo busy (and a little overwhelmed) with holiday orders, and longer hours at work (retail), so I didn’t have any time to hop online at all. I am still pretty steady, but not the same kind of deadline, so I wanted to… Read more

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

Meet the Team!
