I made a pumpkin torte for thanksgiving. The maple cookie crust was the best part!

I just finished crocheting the Lacy tee by @tianconnaughton.bsky.social. This pattern is so much fun and it’s the first crochet garment I’ve ever done!

Today’s project, de-lawned another section of my backyard! Phew! Next I’ll put in some more fruit bushes and pollinator plants.

My friend Cath is moving out of her house and she gifted me this charming vintage sewing book. I love the illustrations throughout.

My latest make is the one hour top by Fancy Tiger Crafts! I used vintage fabric that I thrifted. I got the pattern and tutorial from Creativebug that’s available through the library.

Hi! I’m Carolyn. I just joined Bluesky and I’m so excited to see that there are so many sewists here! I’ve known how to sew for many years and I really got into sewing my own clothes last year. I really like bright colours and vintage style.

Are there other fans of #vintagecookbooks on here? I just found this one from 1985 and it’s in perfect condition! It is mostly vegetarian recipes, which I find very interesting that it’s not mentioned on the cover.

As a winter project I decided to try growing some houseplants from produce. After a month this sweet potato has vines and it was so worth it! Still waiting for my avocado pit to sprout…

Current project on the needles. Starting a headband, and these warm colours are getting me through the winter!
