Well, the current garden experiment is coming to a close! With the growing season winding down, I have only tomatoes and peppers left in the garden. Unfortunately, I got behind on my garden commonplace book and really should try to catch up before I forget everything I’ve learned along the way. This year has definitely…
I was at a loss the other night trying to figure out dinner. I had originally planned spaghetti, but we had spent most of the day loading and unloading wood, furniture, etc., so the thought of hot food was not appealing. Pasta still sounded good, though, so I looked through my pantry to see what…
Normally, I don’t post something the day I actually do it. But today, I was especially frustrated because I don’t feel like I’m making progress. I bought some chipboard so I could try working with a more professional material. I’m still using printer paper for now, as I want to get this down before I…
I am obsessed with baseball. With one team in particular, but that’s not important right now. One of my commonplace books is solely about baseball — some stats about my favorite players, pictures of their various World Series wins, and the best part: mapping out different pitch types, from what they look like from the…
I try to use what I have on hand, but for the life of me, I couldn’t get a good template because everything I had was either too flimsy or too much. I have some waxed thread, but it’s meant for upholstery repair and gave me a lot of problems between the wax and the…
My last post discussed hitting a creative block, which in turn has caused a bit of an internal struggle. I want to keep creating, but I also don’t want to force myself—nothing kills my passion faster than feeling trapped. Today, I told myself I had to do something. I decided to bind another pamphlet, since…
I have hit a bit of a creative wall lately. I have approximately 9,000 things I want to make, write, cook, bind, grow, or otherwise obsess over, and somehow that has translated into…doing very little. So naturally, I have found myself a new project. Before I was vegan, there were a lot of foods in…
My calendula-infused oil and yarrow tincture are finally finished and in tiny brown dropper bottles. I have been waiting what feels like an eternity and now the waiting is over. One thing I learned: I don’t need to fill up 3/4 of a pint jar with olive oil. I ended up with four dropper bottles…
I believe I have mentioned before that I find a topic, obsess over it for a while, then totally forget about it. Right now, it is Baldur’s Gate 3. I bought the game right after it came out, along with a Steam Deck, played for about three weeks, and then my Steam Deck sat untouched…
When I was working on my master’s degree, I also had to learn how to use Chicago/Turabian citations. Before that, I’d had classes that required MLA and APA, but Chicago/Turabian turned out to be a whole different beast. No matter how hard I tried, I always seemed to lose a point or two because I’d…
