Cats is a weird musical. The whole premise is just odd. It’s a bunch of cats, gathering together to chose which one gets to go to kitty heaven, and they each sing a song about why they are awesome. And there is a bunch of dancing. I do like the music, it’s super catchy and…
So far, all of the baking topics we have talked about are pretty universal. However, if you happen to live at a higher elevation, you might notice that your baked goods come out a little weird if you follow the recipe exactly as written. That’s because you have to start making adjustments as you go…
Here we go again! In case you haven’t noticed, each week we are building on the previous week to learn a new crochet stitch that you might encounter frequently in patterns. This week, we are tackling the double crochet, which I personally think is one of the most frequently used and useful stitches. And just…
The word boring is rather subjective, and therefore, a “boring” craft is always subjective. In reality, not everyone enjoys every craft, and that’s ok. But what is it that might make someone think that a craft is boring? Repetitive Some crafts are inherently more repetitive than others. Things like beading or diamond painting are variations…
No matter how perfectly we take care of our plants, sometimes you just have to prune them. This means that you are removing part of the plant, and there are several different reasons why you might do it. You might want the plant to stay a certain size or shape, you might want to encourage…
This is our very first sewing project together! Of course, this is a very basic thing, but so many people don’t know how to do this any longer. We have buttons on all sorts of things, and if one happens to pop off, a lot of people aren’t able to fix it. Luckily, sewing a…
We made it through another week! And if it applies to you, Happy Mother’s Day! Mother’s Day is a difficult day for me. I didn’t have the best relationship with my mother, so a day celebrating mothers brings up difficult feelings. She also passed away a couple of weeks before Mother’s Day several years ago,…
I like Sondheim, I really do. I do not like this Sondheim. The story is mostly fine. In fact, I think the premise of the story is pretty interesting. I like the idea of intertwining the various fairy tales into one larger, moderately cohesive story. However. I also think the story should end after Act…
We’ve talked a lot about how, but not a lot about with what. And that’s been kind of intentional. There are so many different tools out there these days to make baking easier. Do you need all of them? Nope! But some of them are nice to have and fun to play with. Let’s take…
Today is the big day where we take the skills we have learned so far in basic crochet and go a step further! Wait, that sounds scary. It’s not scary, I promise! We’ve made a chain and learned to work into that chain. But what do you do when working into the chain? You can…
