After a hard days work outside pulling weeds I am all tired out, so we’re doing a pretty short short story this time. This week we have another one of the short stories that blend everyday work process and the fantastical. I’m not sure if I’ll add any more to this specific story but I […]
Can You Hear the Angels Singing
For Easter I decided to make a nice coconut lemon Angel food cake for after dinner. The recipe was from the I Am Baker blog (link at the end) and while it technically is only for a coconut angel food cake I decided to add some lemon zest to try and make it a little […]
Mid Month Middle Earth 18
It’s been a pretty slow month when it comes to working on the map, and I’ve just been plodding my way through one shade of brown, after tan, after slightly lighter brown. We haven’t gotten to the point where I need to start marking off the squares I’ve already completed in black ink but it’s […]
New Years Resolution: learning preferences
My embroidery resolution has continued and as time has gone on I have found that I have a pretty notable stitch preferences. I think that’s pretty common in most hobbies, there is always something that will be easier for someone to do one thing rather than another, and I’ve seen it in both my knitting […]
First Friday Fiction: When the Clouds Roll In
I was debating between three small micro-stories I’ve been working on and I finally decided on “When the Clouds Roll In” for this month. It seems appropriate with all the stormy weather we’ve been having. I’m currently debating whether I want to add more to the story or leave it as is, and if anyone […]
Sometimes a recipe is not all it’s crocked up to be
I don’t have a picture of what I made this month, mostly because by the time I got to it it had already been cut up and stored. To start, this was a recipe my mother found online for a crock pot cooked bread pudding. She was the one who wanted to try it out, […]
Mid Month Middle Earth 17
We are onto another shade of brown. As I am going on I am thinking about having to shade the portion I’ve already done with black ink, just to make it easier to pick out the parts I still need to work on. I’m not planning to do it yet, but I might if I […]
Fandom Fun: Having a Blast
Going back to fandom projects we have another from Legend of Zelda: Windwaker. A bomb flower! In game, these flowers grow all over the islands and when you pick them up you have a brief time to move them before they blow up. These are much safer options, since the only thing that will happen […]
First Friday Fiction: Time Conservation Day
Is anyone else tired? I know I am after losing an hour of sleep this last weekend. As much as I love sleeping in an hour when we fall back in the autumn, I would be happy to give up that change if it meant daylight savings would stop causing problems for my sleep schedule […]
With All My Love
For valentines day I made a frankenstein of a cake. By that I mean I used parts of multiple recipes and cobbled them all together into a cake that was far too large for four to eat on their own. Personally I am very proud of what I managed to make, but I will agree […]
