About

Hi, I’m Melissa, the Funky Crunchy Mama! I’m a midwestern gal, long-time vegetarian, wife, daughter, sister, crafter, friend, and thrift-a-holic. But the thing that gives me the most joy in this world is being a mom to two awesome children and two very sweet pups. Between work, kids, love, and money, it’s a busy life. But I do my best to try to make it full one.

This is the place where I dish about what makes my world go ‘round: food, crafting, and activities with my family. Looking for some inspiration, advice, or solidarity? Check out some of my blog posts on the topics below.

  1. Hi,

    I signed up for the free pattern, but never got an email. I made the pattern myself now, but would still like the original. Can you email it please?
    I made it with fleece on the inside and a light neoprene fabric on the outside. Today we had snow and my grandson wore the mittens the whole time they were outside. The gloves were wet on the outside, but inside they were dry and his little hands toasty warm. They stayed on very well.

    Thank you

    Gabi

  2. Hi! I am a “gran-ma” in Wisconsin and I love your energy and helpful website with relevant info! I especially love the baby mittens you have included on your website! Would love to connect with you if you are in the Appleton / Fox Valley area.
