Since I didn’t get this posted last month I wanted to put it out this month, a quick little baking update before we head into the busy holiday season. We had a bunch of banana’s going black last month so I whipped up some banana bread, and I must say I have impressed even myself. […]
First Friday Fiction: Baby Bump
It’s fall and that means it’s time to fight off the yearly cold that shows up around this time. I missed my baking post from last week due to the fact that while I wasn’t terribly under the weather, I was just tired enough that I kept telling myself I would “post it tomorrow”, and […]
Mid-Month Middle Earth 13
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 […]
