Hello and happy Wednesday! What a week! I’ll be bopping around Disney next week to attend a giant pin trading event and partake in the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. I’m so stoked. I feel like my last vacation was to South Korea over a year ago. Doesn’t it feel great to have a big thing to look forward to? (Even if it means the time crawls by.) Any exciting plans on the horizon for … Continue reading Links: Crochet Patterns, Soap Operas, & More
I’m curious about your crafting and hobbies and what you’re up to! What are you doing lately to support and recharge yourself? (I’m very nosy this week. ) Tara: I’m playing Hades again and have also been playing Balatro on my Nintendo Switch for months. Sarah: Hades! There is a lot of Balatro happening in Casa Wendell amongst my offspring. Tara: I think I’ve played almost 400 hours of Balatro since December . It’s a perfect … Continue reading What is Your Current Crafty Focus?
Welcome back, everyone! Brian and I close on a house officially tomorrow! We are so excited, but definitely are having some sticker shock with closing costs + updates we want to do to the house before we move in. However, I’m so excited to start molding and shaping the space into something that feels like ours. My biggest projects: creating a little coffee bar in the kitchen and designed my peachy neon gamer girl paradise … Continue reading Links: Cat Tours, Cross Stitch, & More
Welcome back, everyone! Have the seasons changed yet for you? We’re getting there in New England. We’re certainly in the transitioning stage where it’s cold in the morning, but warms up by midday. I’ve lived here for over a decade and I have yet to master the art of layering. Oh, well! I’m also trying to be more active, but that’s a struggle. Exercise bores me and I haven’t found a method of moving my … Continue reading Links: Music, Glass Blowing, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I am dragging today, so as you’re reading this, I’m probably brewing an afternoon cup of coffee on this somewhat dreary New England day. My house is also staggeringly devoid of a little biscuit or treat to munch on while drinking. A shame! Do you have a favorite coffee or tea paring? I love hearing about people’s food rituals, especially for more soothing meals or snacks. … Bree Bridges of … Continue reading Links: Embroidery, Dragons, & More
Welcome back to Links! I don’t know if it’s the fact that January and February in New England is unpleasant, but I am so sleepy and all I want to do is nap beneath my electric blanket. At first, my New Year’s resolution was to complete a puzzle a month. I thought that’d be easy to do! However, the lighting in my dining room is pretty dim and poor. It makes doing a puzzle anytime … Continue reading Links: Horses, the Hugo Awards, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I picked up a copy of Mineko’s Night Market on the Switch last night and I only regret I don’t have a ton of free time this week to play it. Don’t you hate it when that happens? Thank you for sharing some great recipes last time! I’ve had a slew of mediocre showings in my recipe options lately, so I definitely overdue for a real winner. I also attended a … Continue reading Links: Crafting Drama, Barbara Metzger, & More
Hear ye! Hear ye! I welcome you all back to Wednesday Links! How has your week been? Mine is incredibly busy and I’m just trying to keep my eyes on Friday. All of hard work will be rewarded with a weekend trip to Maine, which may not be relaxing as I want it to be, but it’ll still be a much-needed break. As I mentioned last week, I was eager for a couple MMORPGs coming … Continue reading Links: Blue Aliens, Crafting, & More
Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m getting over the flu, so that should give plenty of indication how my weekend went. I also got to see a little bit of my partner’s hometown and grabbed some delicious bagels from a local shop (toasted sesame with bacon scallion cream cheese). I love me a bagel, though the best I’ve had was in Montreal (St. Viateur – sesame with just butter). Any fellow bagel lovers … Continue reading Links: Fruit, Book Binding, & More
It’s Wednesday! It’s also the last day of November. How the heck did we get here? For those who celebrated Thanksgiving, how was it? My chocolate mousse with cinnamon whipped cream was a big hit and so good. There were also a few mornings where I ate leftover mashed potatoes for breakfast. Now, we begin the slow march (or rather brisk step) toward the final holidays before the new year. How are we all feeling? … Continue reading Links: Advent Calendars, Fiber, & More
Hey all! It’s Wednesday; can you believe it?! August is wrapping up and to that, I say, “Thank god!” I am over it and so ready for the fall seasons. I’m a cozy person by nature. I love to nest. I love mountains of blankets and pillows and burning an autumnal candle. Sure, yes, I could do that in whatever season I choose, but I don’t need the extra sweat that comes along with being … Continue reading Links: Stitching, Nora Roberts, & More
