It’s been a while since I’ve posted any finished objects! I’m calling this my Dream Thieves shawlette because I've been reading it while I made this and the colors match pretty well.

Pattern is Spearmint Tea by Kateryna Golovanova, yarn is Done Roving’s frolicking feet (I forget the colorway).

Tiny Pie!

I have been obsessed with mini cooking videos for the past few days and finally decided to try my hand at it! I don’t have any of the tiny kitchen supplies so I used foil for a pan and baked it in my regular oven, which was pretty cute! 

[dayglopirate]

The complete tiny pie process!

Wow it's been a while since I've posted here, whoops! Stay tuned for a refurb of a bureau Harper C grabbed for free off the sidewalk, featuring milk paint! That's right, I'm making my own paint and I'm using milk to do it, it's old timey, it's non-toxic, it's coming soon to your dash! --Harper B

Finished my Hemlock Ring Blanket -- a baby blanket for my childhood best friend’s first baby, Ella!

[harperandharper]

I tried making some violet & lavender simple syrup with wild violets from our yard today!

Step 1: collect violets Step 2: add some lavender Step 3: steep in boiling water for a few hours. Look how the color leeches out of the violets! Ghost violets! Step 4: strain out the flowers Step 5: pour the wawater (which was kind of a golden brown color) into a small saucepan, start boiling. Step 6: I had about 1 cup of liquid, so then I added 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. When the lemon juice hit the violet-lavender sugar water, it turned color! (Science!!??!) Step 7: Stir at a boil until thickened, then let cool and pour out into a jar. MAGIC PINK SIMPLE SYRUP!

It has an interesting flavor, I can definitely taste the violets. They taste almost more plant-y than I would have imagined? Good, but less ~flowery~ than I expected, I think. It’s delicious though. Can’t wait to make some cocktails with this!
