I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

I saw someone post a few weeks ago about their Thanksgiving poutine and we had to try it: potato and sweet potato fries, curds, Brie, stuffing (ours: Nigella’s orange, cranberry, cornbread stuffing), cranberry sauce (ours: Ocean Spray’s orange cranberry relish), gravy. Really good!

Blog post coming soon about this “Stitch It on a Whoopee Cushion” series.
(Please tell me someone else remembers this throwaway line from Small Wonder.)

Recipe in photo/alt, but this time I sprinkled frozen blueberries on top before it went into the oven.

The great thing about my grandma’s Busy Day Cake is that you can make the batter in the time it takes your husband to get ready to run, it bakes for the duration of his run, and is ready to eat by the time he’s showered.

I need the most recent because the second most recent isn’t enough. I DON’T WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE TERRIBLE PERSON’S PROFILE AND BOOK!

I went to Barnes and Noble to see what magazines might be options and whoops, I think I mostly got potentials just for me.

I’m not a perfect person

These are so ugly. Of course I bought them.

Let me take you on a midnight ride, baby, you and I, oh so much we could explore

I wanna cut to the feeling…

Seen in Des Moines, too!

So… why not take a crazy chance?

Pretty stoked to drop these needle minders in the mail!

I’m taking an approach in between my Single Pager format and a regular pattern. I have a cutting guide and suggested cutting layout, a page of “use these patches to make these blocks”, a basic “put these blocks together to assemble the quilt” page, and then generic block construction instructions.

I keep telling myself these tables and diagrams are just to help me make, but that was four to five iterations (and as many hours) ago.

<starts walk> Oh, it’s nice out! The sun is shining! Maybe I overdressed!
<reaches midpoint, turns around to go back> Oh snap. The wind was at my back that whole time. Good thing the sun is out.

In addition to the thread collection and needle minder, I’ve added these two zines to my online shop. (Pre-2022 Ben would not believe such hand work items are real.)
