Yep, I think I may be addicted to knitting sweaters now… oopsies. I like this particular sweater technique because, […]

A little while back, I noticed a meme on Facebook saying that live Easter animals rarely survive. While a live pet is fun, it can also be expensive. And, for that matter, chocolate and other candy can end up being expensive, sticky, and messy. But, what if you could exploit the cuteness of a live […]
