Brief Description: Y’all have seen me make this several times. I’ve finally refined the recipe and made a post about. Physical because it’s instructions for a tangible item (even thought it’s presented digitally, I guess!)

Project Name: Country Captain Cauliflower with Coconut Rice
Project Link:
Brief Description: We have a local restaurant that had the most freaking delicious vegan cauliflower curry. They took it off their menu, much to my heartbreak. I tried to re-create it, and it was time and labor intensive, taking many steps before even getting to the cooking. The end result was a solid good, and it needs some tweaks. I’ll be trying it again!

Project Name: Needle Punch

Brief Description: Here’s another needle punch kit I did. I’ve definitely figured out the technique. Almost no frogging on this one! The fabric had an inked-on pattern that disappeared as it got filled with yarn, and the vases are blue.

Project Name: Card Bundle
Project Link:
Brief Description: I’ve still been doing lots of cards for the letter writing group. I’ll probably submit some of the bigger ones as projects since they take so much time. And what do you know, here’s one now! I am a bit of an over-the-top person. I embrace this about myself, and I quickly found that stride with these cards requests, too, lol, making card folders stuffed with goodies.

Brief Description: This was also from a craft kit. When I bought it, along with a few others, the checkout person said, “Someone found the kid aisle.” And I responded, “I like cute, fun things.” And they go, “You could have lied and said they were for someone else.” And I was like, “Why lie, though? I’m fine finding joy in liking cute and fun things.” So, with that thwarted shame, this was cute, and fun, and took waaaay longer than I expected. It was a loom knitting kit, and the body is about the size of a large grapefruit. It took me almost NINE whole episodes of Stargate: Atlantis to finish. I feel slow, though when I consider crafting time I’m just always thinking about @storerboughtcreation crocheting, which I think is an unrealistic standard for most of us, lol!

Project Name: Pottery Class

Brief Description: My mom and I have been taking a wheel pottery class the last couple of months. It’s been hard and fun and something I look forward to every week. Here is the batch of bowls I made from start to finish. (Also, if anyone likes calm and warm competition shows à la The Great British Bake Off, The Great Pottery Throw Down is available on HBO and is lovely - I binged it last year and it’s one of the things that made me interested in trying ceramics).
