  • @linzrunz that looks great! 
    I picked up crocheting again a few months ago and now I'm hooked (pun intended)! I just bought myself a new set of hooks as an end-of-school-year present (I only had 1 to start with). They're supposed to come on Monday and I am super excited. Afghans for EVERYONE!!
  • @asf0613 that spread looks so good! I LOVE strawberry shortcake! 
  • @asf0613 YUM!

  • I made a midnight snack 😄😄

    First time making DH's family's recipe for stuffed mushrooms. So good!

    The mushrooms are stuffed with mozzarella cheese, mayo, and (according to DH) too much garlic. Sprinkled on top is salt, pepper, and bacon bits. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 350.

  • @inthewoods23 those look yummy! I haven't had stuffed mushrooms in so long! 
  • I want to make this blanket or some variation of it. Might be a good summer project and since it's all little squares, it's portable (until I stitch it all together). Then the question is, do I keep it for myself or give it away as a Christmas present?

    @emeraldduchess that's gorgeous! I love it! Do you have someone in mind who would really like it? If not, definitely keep it (but also see if you feel like you can part with it when it's done).

    Does anyone do sourdough baking? I know it's very "in" right now but I started doing it at a friend's urging right before shelter in place and have gotten really into it. I keep neglecting my starter until right before I want to use it but I'm hoping to get it good enough to bake with tomorrow night/Wednesday again.

  • @kvh22 I have a few family members who might really like it and I love making things for other people. There's no rule that says I can't make more than one, either! :)
