In this monthly Maker Space feature, we go way off topic. I haven’t updated since October, and I’ve been busy!
You can find my Limoncello recipe here! I bought the bottles on Amazon. The Cricut will be playing a bigger role below. I have the Maker 3 and I highly recommend it if you’re considering a cutting machine.
I declared January to be CRAFTUARY and invited friends to come over every Saturday this month to do crafts. Very casual, low-pressure way to have snacks and hang out while doing some silly things. Here’s some things I made:
Becka’s Bake House was a really great beginner build! Very fun and not too complicated.
You can pick up the Eternal Bookstore kit here, and I 10/10 recommend! This was a gift from my husband for Christmas, and I’m so happy he got it for me because I would never have guessed it would be this much fun.
The Church Worker mug was a commission for a friend! My very first effort! The second one is Dolly Parton and it made me smile. I made it because I wanted to learn how to do two colors. The third and fourth were inspired by The X-Files, a show I have loved forever and one that I've been watching all winter — in the background as I do my little crafts!
“Mulder, it’s me,” is something Scully says frequently! I love the red mug. I’m already using it regularly. The alien mug was an experiment and it’s cute but I messed up the colors and it’s not my favorite design. It will end up at Goodwill. Heh.
One thing about Cricut: The better you are at design, the more powerful it is a tool. Since I’m middling at design, I end up with middling designs. Oh well, making things isn’t about perfection. It’s about finding joy in the process.
As always, I love to see what y’all are up to! Please feel free to link to anything you’ve made in the comments!
And if you made it this far, be sure to pretend this is YouTube and smash that ❤️ button!
