  • Making stuff.

    Here are a couple of random things we’ve made recently.

    The discount food store we like surprised us with a few jars of mincemeat (with veggie suet), so Kid 1 helped me make mince pies. She wants to learn to bake lots of different things, and pie crust is a good one to learn! We all liked the pies, but the kids really want to try the crust recipe with various fruit pie fillings — they love a mini pie!

    And a few days ago, I gave needle punch a try. Kid 1 had gotten a kit a while back, and it looked like a lot of fun! I made this with leftover yarn from a knitting project. I was annoyed I wasn’t *immediately* a pro, lol, but it’s cute, and it was great to try something new.
