Finch and Fae

Charlie (AKA Charlie Bear, Boo Bear, Charlie Wharlie Woo Bear, Charles, Boof Creature) has reached a new level of kelpie anxiety, triggered by the iron. Not helpful when I use the iron repeatedly when sewing.

No word as to why this sudden anger at the iron has come out of nowhere. It may be a misguided ploy to get more carrots, which we must refer to as 'orange sticks' because both dogs know what a 🥕 is.

Charlie must have couch hugs after his breakfast, and also in the evening. Ball must be thrown at irregular but frequent intervals during the day, whether outside or down the hall. If you see me moving strangely in any sewing vids, I'm probably kicking the ball he's dropped at my feet. If I don't, he'll step on the sewing machine's foot control, and he can't sew straight. Yet.

Love this weirdo x

What's your work at home distraction?

I must admit, I didn't think I'd stumble across this fabric again, but I just collected a stack of upholstery samples and this was in the pile! The first lot I had made the BEST GLASSES CASES EVER. 😍

So expect a restock soon!

This is what I love about upcycling - the unexpected surprises!

Every review is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Why are these Microwave Popcorn Bags better than store-bought microwave popcorn?

🍿 SUSTAINABLE. Reuse again and again. No bag to dispose of after cooking. Wash in cold water.

🍿 HEALTHY. No oil or butter used when cooking. Add whatever you want in a bowl afterwards.

🍿 NATURAL. 100% cotton, including the thread. No polyester, no plastic.

🍿 FAMILY-FRIENDLY. Are you a mixed sweet/salty/spicy crew? Season individual servings for individual tastes.

🍿 YOU'RE IN CONTROL. The only ingredients are what YOU add.

🍿 HANDMADE. Handsewn by a small business owner, not machine-assembled by a faceless corporation.

🍿 BEST OF ALL: It works! It really does!
