Jam-making is one of those things that’s seemed a bit daunting to me. It requires special ingredients and chemistry and precision – not things that tend to happen in my kitchen. Then right around Christmas, Patricia over at Eat Drink Better shared this awesome-looking recipe for Meyer Lemon Marmalade. It didn’t require anything special or any finesse, and it felt like the perfect way to get started with jam-making.
I developed this project for a farm-to-table event here in Atlanta, but this homemade vegan cornbread mix would make a great gift, too! Here’s how to make your own and a printable recipe card that you can include with your mix.
Homemade almond milk tastes really different from the store bought variety. It doesn’t have thickeners or stabilizers, which leaves it tasting a bit lighter and much nuttier than the kind in the box.
Don’t you just love a pom pom? They’re just so cheery and sweet. They’re also super simple to make!
I ran across a really cute asymmetrical cowl on Pinterest not too long ago, but it required knitting, which isn’t my strong suit. It looked like the perfect project to use up some of those sweater sleeves!
I keep seeing amazing washi tape craft projects all over the place and wanted to join in the fun! The trouble with washi tape is that it can be pretty pricey. It’s also made with all new materials and shipped across the world to stores here in the U.S. Rather than drop a bunch of cash on something that didn’t totally fit into my crafty philosophy, I decided to try out making my own!
The trouble with those store-bought fragrance sticks is right in the name: fragrance. The term “fragrance” is completely unregulated, and it can refer to a slough of different chemicals. Some of these chemicals are harmless, but others are harsh toxins and even carcinogens. Suddenly, those fragrances smell a lot less sweet.
Luckily, it’s super simple to whip up fragrance sticks at home with natural scents and recycled materials. Check it!
My travel schedule last month was crazy, and at the same time, Bill and I really upped the intensity of our runs. I love to travel, and speed training is a fun challenge, but I think those things combined are the reason that I’m having some icky breakouts lately. Boo! Rather than buy a pricey face scrub in a single-use plastic conatiner, I thought it would be fun to whip up my own homemade face scrub with ingredients from my pantry!
This tutorial is for repairing a lamp shade shade that’s torn on the bottom, but! I’ve got some variations at the end, in case the tear on your paper lamp shade is in a different place.
I’m sure not all of you have a weird sweatervest thing laying around, but you could totally do this same tutorial with any oversized sweater, and I’ll include instructions for that below!
