a pouch I crocheted for some cards! i am very proud of the closure. designed it myself

i always struggled with closures on pouches that aren't suitable for drawstrings. i have 1 that just barely fits the cards and they don't fall out cause of the tension. this one though, the cards actually have enough room.

what i did was i made a flap, i chained some, i attached chain to the other side of the flap, and cut the yarn. then i chained a bunch, surface crocheted a line onto the pouch, and then started chaining again, making sure that the points at which the chains "detach" are about where the loop attached to the flap is fully stretched out.

if this makes you go "huh" and you'd like to understand, feel free to ask

closeup of the yarns, i used 2 cotton crochet threads and 1 fingering weight cotton, held together, it's such a beautiful effect, don't you think?

i am full of love and also fatigue

The best chocolate chip cookies (probably ever)

🍪 Its quite the claim to make, I know, but these cookies are so yummy and I’ve done them many times with great success. If you’re really feeling creative, last Halloween instead of using chocolate chips I used chopped up Halloween candy (smarties, MnMs, Reese’s, Aero, ect) and it was AWESOME! But can’t beat a classic, right?

🍪 Ingredients:

1 cup butter (melt it and let it cool for ~10 minutes)

1¼ cup brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

1 egg (room temperature)

1½ tsp vanilla extract

2¾ cup flour

2 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp baking soda

¾ tsp salt

1 cup chocolate chips (or more, if you want)

🍪 How to make it:

Combine butter, brown sugar and white sugar in a bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.

Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet, and make sure all flour is mixed in.

Allow to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (longer is fine)

Scoop cookie dough into balls, adding chocolate chips, and place onto lined baking sheet.

Space cookies about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.

Bake at 350⁰ for 11 minutes.

You will likely have to do multiple pans because of the required spacing, but ensure the cookies can cook for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.

🍪 Notes:

When the 11 minutes is up, they look soft. Like REALLY soft. But believe me, that’s correct. Just don’t handle them before the 10 minutes is up, because they might melt on the cooling rack or in your hands. They stay soft for a few days, but only if they don’t get eaten first. Happy Baking!

so sad that we are surrounded by birds and most ppl dont even look at them. how can you look at the beloved pigeon and not admire its stupid little waddle and delightful little rump? how can you see the humble house sparrow and not be enraptured by its adorable little cap and splendid black bib? how can you see a seagull and not admire it’s size (very big when you think about it) and it’s tenacity in targeting humans, the most obnoxious and dangerous of all gods creatures? open your eyes
