This can only barely be considered mid-month, largely because half a month has already passed. These last few weeks have left me feeling like I am sprinting from one thing to the next, between work, crafts, shows, and other previous engagements I kind of want to just lie on the floor for the day and […]

We knit a fine pair of socks
Guess who finished their first pair of socks! I am incredibly proud of myself for having completed not only one sock but two. Once the size was figured out making the sock turned out not to be super hard – just tedious. I can say I will likely make another pair of socks in the […]
First Friday Fiction: An Eye’s Worth
I Live! I know I am barely scraping in at the last minute on Friday but I am still posting on Friday, so I’m taking it as a win. The artwork will need to be added later but I plan to have it up on Sunday at the latest. As for the story itself since […]
When life gives you lemons
You make lemon poppy seed muffins. To be more accurate I was craving lemon poppy seed muffins so I went out and got myself some lemons, but that’s getting too nit-picky. I’ve been really craving lemon poppy seed muffins ever since I bought one at the store and it was… fine. It had the lemon […]
Mid-month Middle Earth 12
This last week has been a mess with everything going on in the country, and I’ve been on a bit of a rollercoaster emotionally. One thing I have relied on has been crafting, it is a good place to just turn off all the noise of what is going on outside and focus on what […]
First Friday Fiction: What’s the Buzz About?
I live! Things are getting busier for me between work, a new craft ambition, baking, and the usually scheduled crafts, but I’m hoping things will settle out in the next week. With schools having started up again for the year I decided to pull out a school-adjacent short story. I hope you enjoy! What’s the […]
Rustling up some Cowboy Cookies
I saw a recipe for cowboy cookies on a test kitchen episode and I couldn’t help but think they looked really nice. Not quite a kitchen sink cookie recipe they mixed a traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe with sweetened shredded coconut, oats, and toasted pecans. When it came time to actually make the recipe I […]
Mid-month Middle Earth 11
We are officially “into the weeds” when it comes to the colors on the portion of the map I am working on, no more nice, large blocks of colors are awaiting me. It’s a balancing act of how much thread to carry while putting in stitches. Carry the thread too long, and it makes a […]
I Don’t Often Axolotl Questions
But aren’t these guys just the cutest? I have spent the last week doing a lot of pattern repetitions, and I am still on the long slog of making my second sock with no real progress (other than the sock is a little longer). The one new thing I have to show is that I […]
First Friday Fiction: A Curated Image
This is not the short story I intended to post for August. I had another one written up and was mid-edit when this story popped into my head two days ago and refused to let go. I’ve been rushing to finish writing the short story and edit it, so I apologize if it is a […]
