Well, that was easy??
Easy? Ummmm the answer is NO… no it was not (at first anyway) I know that all you seamstress out there will be rolling your eyes at me… but MAN that was HARD! I made BabyT a block. A crinkle taggie block. I was so excited about this project… handmade with love by Nonnie.. (ahhhh aren’t I sooo sweet!?) wellllllllllllllll FYI……. You can’t just randomly sew seams together for a block…. you must first try and MAKE (visualize) the block or you will be tearing out seams over and over and over. Anyway, once I stopped just randomly sewing pieces together the little block went quick. Now it isn’t done yet, seems you need to have STUFFING for the crinkle block… HEY! I got the cute dog felt! AND ribbon and tread!
HEY!! Look at me! I’ve sewn TWO! count ’em TWO things now!! WOOOO HOOO!! I’m a regular Betsy Ross!!
Now back to work on baby shower invitations for BabyT. Don’t worry, yours is in the mail.
Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter
If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal.
I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup.
While revisiting early posts, I discovered something unsettling. Many of the original photos and videos have completely vanished. Not broken links. Not corrupted files. Gone. Poof. Into the digital ether. This can only confirm one thing: peanutbutterandwhine.com is haunted.
There is no other explanation. Sure, it could be old hosting changes, platform migrations, or me being wildly optimistic about my organizational skills a decade ago. But let’s be honest. It’s ghosts. Internet ghosts. Possibly annoyed by my early font choices.
So here I am, updating old posts with new images, clearer formatting, better internal linking, and SEO-friendly structure so Google can finally understand what I’ve been yelling into the void all these years. I’m also making sure posts connect to each other logically, like linking back to my ongoing fun stuff such as the Monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway right here:
👉 https://peanutbutterandwhine.com
Internal links help readers stick around, help search engines crawl the site, and possibly appease the spirits living in my archives.
I’m also adding relevant external links to trustworthy sources, because Google appreciates good neighbors. For example, SEO best practices straight from the pros over at Moz:

The goal isn’t to rewrite history. It’s to make sure my content is still useful, readable, and visible in a world where the internet changes faster than my craft room fills up.
If you stumble across a refreshed post, missing photos, or suspiciously improved clarity, just know it’s intentional. And if something disappears again overnight… I’ll be lighting a sage bundle and updating my alt text.
Stay tuned. The ghosts are watching. 👻
