A 3 inch long needle with the top half inch bent to 45 degrees. It shows book signatures zigzag stitched together with the needle catching three stitches at a time in a horizontal zigzag stitch across the binding of the book spine.

Continuing my bookbinding adventures, hand sewing my signatures together. I'm using a curved upholstery needle. It can be found in the African haircare section for weaves. It's cheap and easy to find. Keep bookbinding accessible!

Nine toaster tarts in the oven on a baking sheet with a silicone mat. On the rack below the cutoff edges are on a second baking sheet. All pastry has egg wash and enough cinnamon sugar on top to hopefully cover the mistakes.

Homemade pop tarts for breakfast! No toaster needed, lol. 🍽️🍽️🍽️

Oat bread on a cooling rack over a grey and white counter. There are rolled oats on the top.

#CraftOfTheDay #BakeSky #OatBread
My first oat #Bread! It’s not remotely as tall as it’s supposed to be, but ya know. The taste is ok, though, and it looks fabulous.
What are you baking? Do you have a favorite oat bread recipe?
I’m looking for a weekly bread the kids will eat. 👍

Four 4” square coasters sitting in a sunbeam on a Zoom Loom box. They are two strands of #MauriceBrassard 8/4 cotton held together in the colors wine, forest, and navy — or whatever that is in French. The ends are woven in but not trimmed.

#CraftOfTheDay #PinWeaving
These are some coasters I made on my #ZoomLoom. It was my first loom! Small projects are nice for instant gratification. There will be two more for 6 coordinating #coasters.
Should I glue them to cork? Contact cement?

White #ZoomLoom with an almost finished coaster in grey and peach. #MauriceBrassard #MB cotton in grey 8/4 held together with (for three quarters) grey cotton chenille and (one quarter) peach cotton chenille. After wet finishing, the chenille should be fluffy and absorbent.

#CraftOfTheDay
#OnTheLoom today is a new set of coasters!
Deets in alt. It was supposed to be spotted in peach, but it sorta turned out tweedy. I usually make a set of four coordinating coasters. I don’t think I’ve made two squares alike yet.

Two round loaves of soda bread on a copper paper in a baking sheet. There are little bits of pecan and sweetened dried cranberries.

Cranberry Pecan Irish Soda Bread is in the oven. 😍
I tweaked the recipe a bit, and I’m hoping my family love it! 🤞Normally, I think cranberry pecan would be a sweet bread, but this sounded better today. 👍

Photo of: a black flattop stove with a covered bowl (contains all of the dry ingredients mixed together); an 8 cup Pyrex measure for the first rise, 2 round cake pans for second rise/baking; a white plate with the measuring cups & spoons, utensils, and an egg; a 3x5 index card with the timeline written out so I know when ~ish to start mixing so they’ll be ready for dinner and not before anyone gets home and I eat half of them myself and then feel bad for not sharing. 🫠😆

I have no idea yet #WhatsForDinner, but there will be #sourdough buttery buns.
Thoughts on dinner that goes with fresh-baked buns? What do you like?
I have ADHD, so getting the stuff out is a separate task. 😆

Two sock toes — wet finished, even!!! In Woolens and Nosh hand dyed self-striping and tonal. Two socks started in Patton’s Kroy sock yarn. Round toe, toe-up, Magic cast on 12/needle, inc to 60 total, size 0 Chiaogoo on the two longer mini cords, padded bottom, 5/1 rib on top. I’d like to figure out how to start the pattern/padding in the toes. Suggestions? Background is a tortilla blanket.

These weirdly shaped dough lumps in my oven are oddly reminiscent of sourdough pretzels. Hmmm…. 🧐

A loaf of bread in a copper-colored loaf pan sitting on a black flattop stove.

#CraftOfTheDay #SundayBake
This is Japanese milk bread, and I think it’s my favorite bread recipe so far!
You cook a little flour, milk, and water on the stove. That makes it soft and fluffy. It tastes more like rolls to me.
My kids are fans!

Square 8” Pyrex with a copper parchment paper liner filled with snickerdoodle cheesecake. It is cut into 16 almost equal pieces. It’s only slightly wonky, I swear. Background is a black flattop stove.

Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars!
This is the second time I’ve made these and they turned out great both times. As with any cheesecake, I let the cream cheese, sour cream & eggs come to room temp so they blend smoothly.
I am a fan! 👍

Lemon Chess Pie in a clear pie plate on a red baking sheet. The crust is clearly store bought because one edge is still rolled.
