Last weekend I went to a tiny craft fair nearby, and found some fabric that I liked. The fabric was 27cm x 27cm, and one of my dolls (Rhi) is 26cm tall. So I thought that was the perfect size to make a little blanket out of. Plus there were cute characters! I couldn`t decide […]

Not a Wiccan holiday, I know. Easter is a Christian holiday. However, I`ve always liked the fun involved, and this time of year, (in the United States, anyway) you can`t really avoid it.

Another recycling craft! Something I`ve heard a lot about recently is “Plarn” aka Plastic Yarn. As I`m always up for recycling crafts, I decided to give it a try.

I did mean to write a post today about some recycling crafts I`m currently in the middle of. However, this morning a distraction arrived in the form of a package. Several months ago, one of my favorite webcomics had a kickstarter for book 4. (book one is on amazon! I, of course, participated in the
Ok, so I have two confessions… First is that I went over budget last month and have to reconfigure it a little until I figure out what amount works best. Second is that the numbers I gave you last time were very late payments (I generally have to pay at the beginning of the month
I got a slow cooker! I got this one, mostly because on Amazon Japan it was the least expensive: TWINBIRD Kotokoto simmer (Slow Cooked) slow cooker EP-4717BR Brown And I decided that to test it out, I should try to make bread. I followed the recipe from this site: Slow Cooker Bread I had to mix
