#magic cabin

[priskeys]

i made a magical cabin!

i joined a new server with tons of new (to me) mods, and i'm using this opportunity to play around with colors, form, and staging of spaces

i've been living out my eclectic wizard dreams lately

more below the cut!

i was even able to make my beloved massive crop garden!

this is something i've wanted to make since discovering crop mods, but i never got the chance to before now

this was such a blast to do!

it's been too long since i've been able to just design and build what my heart desires, so getting back on this proverbial horse was well worth the journey it took

Goodbye, Magic Cabin. I'll miss you.

I'm having a bit of a sad today.

I wanted to buy some nice wool roving for a friend and I went "I know! I'll check Magic Cabin, that's where I got my wool roving when I started spinning!" only to find that Magic Cabin (now Hearthsong) is not remotely as magical or cabin as it was 15-20 years ago. They don't have any of the kits I cut my teeth on (candlemaking, knitting, crochet, drop spindle…) in their catalog any more. It's mostly play furniture and the same kind of novelty craft kit you can buy at Walmart for $15 (inexpensive, but still MASSIVELY overpriced for what you're getting in my opinion). Maybe slightly better quality from Hearthsong, I don't know. Heck, they don't even sell their dolls or doll kits (which were formerly one of their signature items) any more!

And I'm sad, I'm grieving this generation of kids who doesn't have access to the tools and resources I did, all conveniently in one package for a family that doesn't already have these skills. Because these skills, particularly spinning, are already niche and on the way to becoming lost arts. It's one less entry point kids have to hobbies that would give them a lifetime of joy.
