Propagation Station: One Day Scrap Wood Project

I seem to be incapable of throwing away potential plants. I need to start giving plants away because every time I trim a plant I start the cutting in water. Usually this looks like mason jars and random vases sitting on the counter while things take root. I recently decided to make a propagation station to clean things up a little and because let’s be real - I love watching little cuttings send out their new roots.

Level Up Your Sewing with a Serger

If you’re sewing your own clothes, curtains, or even doing regular mending (am I the only one constantly repairing the center seam on shorts?), it’s time to add a serger machine to your craft room. If you’re not familiar with sergers, they essentially replicate a commercial style stitch that uses 3 or 4 threads simultaneously instead of 2. The downside is that you need 4 of each color thread you plan to use to really be effective with it but the advantages far outweigh that inconvenience since everything you sew is going to be faster, stronger, and cleaner with a serger.
