Decided to buy a copy of this. I want to learn to be better at making my own clothes and I loved the stuff on slopers and this is where I want to grow! The book was easy to understand, great pictures, and I felt it was approachable and empowering.

So hopefully this will be me, making a book purchase to MAKE MY OWN CLOTHES BETTER!

I found this book very helpful. The message of self care and compassion was hugely important. I really appreciated her making the clear statement: having a clean house means nothing about your worth and value as a person. A clean house doesn't mean you're virtuous and a messy house doesn't mean that you're worthless. It just means that you're experiencing obstacles and a hard time.

Really important message for anyone struggling with chronic illness or mental health issues.

I like the re-thinking of chores as care tasks. Things you're doing to make your spaces serve you better. You are not there to serve your spaces, they should be supporting you.

And honestly, the chapter on laundry and some of those tips on dishes... might just be life changing for me.

Just finished The Viking and the Drag Queen by V.L. Locey. It was cute! I enjoyed seeing gentle giant hockey playing Tyr grow as he learned that he could accept who he was and it was hilarious listening to Drag Queen Eli talk about the sportsing and how he hated the hockey players crunching each other. Same sports feels, Eli, hard same. Go Red Patriot Bruins! Dunk that soccer ball through the wicket! A sweet queer happily ever after was just what I needed.

It was okay, kind of boring. Average art. Recipe idea was cute.

Not a fan of this one, it felt weirdly disjointed and like it should have been much later on a series.

Also it kind of didn’t have an end, it just stopped.
