Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People

If EVER there was a craft book that SCREAMED my name it’s this!! I am cracking up just reading the description. I need this book!!
Fave Craft site is giving away a copy… go! Sign up!! : )
You’re welcome! You know I’m always looking for cool stuff for you!

You might be able to tell by the title of Amy Sedaris’s new book that she’s not clambering to become the next Martha Stewart. In fact, her goal in Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People seems to be to poke fun at the crafting community.

Readers may be offended by the implicit sexual remarks and drawings included in the chapter on “fornicrafting,” the graphic images in the craft safety section, and the chapter on Crafting for Jesus, but crafters with a dry sense of humor who are comfortable laughing at themselves will love the clever writing and colorful photo spreads. If you’re a fan of Amy Sedaris, you’ll love this raunchy, sarcastic spin on crafting.

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is like digital archaeology—except I’ve unearthed a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes. If things look a little haunted around here, here is the proof:

The Vanishing Act: The ghost keeps deleting my best images and video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes.
The Link Graveyard: It’s been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
Font Sabotage: Apparently trapped in 2001, it keeps reverting my clean layout back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan:

Exorcise the 404s: Running a broken link checker to track down every dead end and missing image.
Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.
SEO Deep Clean: Refreshing metadata and strategically placing focus keywords.
