You all have been making SO MANY THINGS a day!! I’m behind on posting and reading, but I am just popping in to say that while I haven’t FINISHED many things this week (just an elephant and some ATCs), I have made a LOT of progress on… five? separate crochet projects. 
Maybe if I stuck to one I could actually finish it! But I am crafting every day! Definitely a thing’s worth! XD

The kids have been learning to bake but sometimes their ideas exceed their actual desire to complete projects. There’s been a block of unsalted butter “softening” on the counter for the better part of a week after a small batch of cookies was baked by girlchild. That stuff goes bad! I decided to whip up a batch of chocolate shortbread with it before it spoiled. There were complaints about not enough sugar so some quick caramel sauce was born.
We were out of heavy cream so I used:
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)
Boil gently for 2 mins.
The rest of the sauce will be used to entice people to finish off the last batch of apple crumble from the freezer. I used tart apples and nobody likes it.

Day 19: I harvested some words/images from ads for future use and then made some cookies (not with the paper bits).
The cookies are this recipe with some of the butter swapped for peanut butter.

I didn’t feel very craft-productive today but I did manage to get two ATCs done (and stash busted along the way!)

I crocheted two baskets today. My phone is charging so I will have to post pics tomorrow!
I also cleaned out a basket that had a bunch of fabrics in it and put them in their proper places…now that everything is organized, I can make a mess again!

Unbelievably cool! It’s looking so cool already.
Two baskets made yesterday…holding a crochet hook was all I could manage with the sore spot on my palm from wart removal “surgery”…

Love the first little basket!
I got some bleach stains on one of my favorite shirts a while ago. I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it so I’m trying to revive it with some bleach tie-dye. Added snow into the mix because why not? No clue if this will turn out.
Thinking of adding some dye on top after the bleach. But I think I want to see if the bleach works first.

Had to frog a little of the frame on my cross stitch today, the vertical was correct, but I was off by one on the horizontal, but frogged it, replaced it and completed a little more today

Oh no! That’s the worst. Glad you’re back on track.
Results of the bleach dye:
Bleached more than intended because of the slow melt but I don’t hate it. Going to wear it for a bit see how I feel before potentially overdyeing.

Day 20: I finally finished the piece I was working on for the 4x6 swap and made some biscuits (this time with bacon). I also made a mess when the garbage disposal leaked all over its cabinet, so I think I’m done for the night…
