Tough Love Knitters: October 2014

http://toughloveknitters.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 2, 2014. Wedding Program Handkerchiefs, Done! Only a few days left until D and Y's Wedding! The handkerchiefs are with the Mother of the Bride, so my job is done! All that's left is to blog about it. Here are the final instructions, since I do realize my brainstorming. And rambling troubleshooting posts. May be hard for some to follow. Scissors or rotary cutter. Using your favorite software, design a fold-able 8.5x11 program (use "greeting card" feature, if it has one). Cut pre-measured...

Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Posted by Mollie Hartford. Links to this post. Monday, February 24, 2014. Stove-Top Popcorn, like a boss. In grad school, my roommate Rachel and I would make popcorn and watch Sex and the City . and study. Cause we were lame. But I still wasn't all that good at it. Cue Pinterest. Oh, Pinterest. You never really failed me . until now. Even pinterest couldn't fix my popcorn predicament. And then I sort of solved it by accident. Any toppings you want (butter, salt, etc.). And s...

Tough Love Knitters: December 2013

http://toughloveknitters.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 30, 2013. I was shocked - SHOCKED I tell you - to discover that someone on Pinterest had not yet already made these. I expect to become a Pinterest celebrity with this one. Anyway, these were so simple to make. Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (either in balls or a solid block). 1 Cut bottom off cherry tomato. This allows the tomato to stand up alone, and create the hat for the snowman. 2 Insert toothpick into top of tomato. 4 Fold Basil leave in half and place onto toothpick. Links to this post.

Tough Love Knitters: March 2014

http://toughloveknitters.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 17, 2014. Birthdays . uhg. I'm feeling so much UHG about the kiddo's upcoming birthday. First, he'll be 3 years old, which is like, what? But, like, . what? I'm having a hard time with it. Finally, he'll be three. Wait, I already said that. It deserves saying again. He'll be three. He was never a terrible two-year old, but all of a sudden, as Three starts to peer around the corner, he's turned into this . well . toddler! He's such a . TODDLER! So we could have a Hot Dog Party. Only prob...

Tough Love Knitters: December 2014

http://toughloveknitters.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, December 28, 2014. While trying to figure out a good way to organize my own thread (instead of in a trick-or-treat bin, where it lives right now), I thought of a neat gift idea for my mother and mother-in-law. My MIL finally has her sewing room and is an avid quilter, and my mother is getting back into sewing with a brand new machine. My own small-space sewing experience brought up an interesting dilemma - how do you keep the small lower bobbins with their matching thread spools? Whatever this is .

Tough Love Knitters: January 2014

http://toughloveknitters.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 27, 2014. I've finally opened an Etsy shop. Only two things in it so far, but it's a start. Https:/ www.etsy.com/shop/ToughLoveKnitters? My knitted reproductive anatomy came out very well, so maybe I'll do another set of those and put them up. Also I never did give that Garden Lattice scarf to anyone, so that could go up too. And I get a lot of comments about Ro's Tardis hat, the dog's Tardis coat, and Ro's Pigeon hat, so there are lots of options! Posted by Mollie Hartford. Slip one stit...

Tough Love Knitters: May 2014

http://toughloveknitters.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 31, 2014. Wedding Program Handkerchiefs, continued. D and Y are getting married in OCTOBER! It's time to finalize their Wedding Program Handkerchief design. I paused on doing anything more with this project until now, just in case something changed (and it's a good thing, since she wrote the other day and said "HANG ON! One of her Maids was iffy about whether or not she'd be there). I wanted to test a few ways to ironing the paper, printing, and hemming these before I started mass-producing.

Tough Love Knitters: October 2013

http://toughloveknitters.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Saturday, October 19, 2013. We're actually having a Halloween party this year! Ro has a few little friends (more like I have a few mom friends who have kids Ro's age), and some people from the neighborhood are going to come over. We'll have some snacks, some games for the kiddos, and maybe some liquor for the adults. Now, we're trying to do this on a budget. (Chris has this whole "If we want to retire when we're 40 you can't buy coffee" sort of mentality right now.) So, to Pinterest. Ro has been "Roar!

Tough Love Knitters: 2014, In Review

http://toughloveknitters.blogspot.com/2015/04/2014-in-review.html

Monday, April 6, 2015. 2014, In Review. Fun Fact: I took 4,150 photos and videos in 2014. Here are just a few. We started the new year in our new apartment in Northampton, having moved from Queens just a few weeks before. To my credit, there were only a few boxes still around, but Christmas had made the apartment a little hectic. I had spent New Year's Eve with the Flu, but we still got our beans in. We had people over for birthday dinner and Pineapple Upside Down Cake! January also saw my first Etsy sale.
