I'm a recent college grad working to become a teacher. One of my dreams is to help children with disabilities connect through music! In my spare time, I study music, bake, craft, and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds my home. Looking forward to connecting more with the Thrifty Fun community!

A daffodil next to a wooden fence.

Learning to Love My SeasonAs a child, I used to flip through a picture-book of Aesop's fables. One story I liked was of a dog who gazed into a lake long enough to see another dog. This dog, in lake world, stared back. He had a bone in his mouth. The real dog, with envy gnawing at his mind, snapped at his reflection in the water, dropping the bone he already had.

 

A single layer chocolate cake

Baking LessonsA hearth is timeless. In days past, of the likes of Little Women, warm flickering light from the stove used to brighten up evenings for families coming together over a meal. What would they talk about? Maybe the ships coming in from sea, slow telegraphs from a father far away, the newspaper picked up for a dime from the little boy at the market? After the dishes were put away, a child like Beth might play hymns on her old upright, several decades before the radio was ever invented.

 

Delicate Memory Wire Beaded Bracelet - finished bracelet

Tufting a Comforter - tufted comforter on bed

Tufting a ComforterI bought a lovely comforter online at a discount. When I opened the package, I saw that there was nothing holding the batting in place and that an edge of it had already crumpled up in such a way that I couldn't fix it without tearing the fabric apart. I put it back in it's bag, planning to salvage it later.

Mini Wreath OrnamentThis was just an experiment that turned out well! You can use all kinds of ribbon or string for this project.

 

Brownie on plate

Best Ever BrowniesThese are so rich and chocolatey! The recipe calls for cocoa powder, which lasts longer and is a little less expensive than baking chocolate. Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder when possible. Great for any time, any season!

 

Reindeer Candy Cane

Reindeer Candy CaneThis is a cheap, fun craft that makes a cute gift for little ones 4+. When I was little, my elementary school class made these for Christmas. I hardly remember a thing from elementary school, but this must have been super special because the happy memory stuck!
