It’s Monday!

My favorite day. I love a fresh new beginning to the work week!

Yesterday I started a new Rag Quilt Tutorial! I will be finishing that today so that will be at least one of my videos. I’m feeling kind of energetic so maybe I’ll do two videos today for my main channel.

Last night I also recorded an Exclusive Video for Patreon! It’s the Would You Rather Gross Out Edition that I could not (well, could, but didn’t want to) put on my main channel. I still can’t shake off that video! lol

Other than that, I’ve been very busy with other stuff. Fabric Frenzy is one of those things! That is happening this Friday, October 27, so be sure you are in my facebook group so you can be part of the excitement!

*NEW* On Patreon: Like I said above, I have a new Would You Rather Gross Out Edition uploaded for patrons only. If you join (it’s only a buck per month) you will also get immediate access to my other exclusive videos.

Spooky Ghost Cookies – No Bake Halloween Recipe

Posted by Darlene on October 22, 2017 at 2:46 pm

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Spooky Ghost Cookies – Super Easy Halloween Recipe

Stuff you might need or like:

Halloween Recipes (amazon, see below)

NOTE: Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Darlene’s Tips: You can melt morsels instead of candy coating. Nothing wrong with making chocolate or butterscotch ghosts too. No law saying ghosts have to be white. Peanut butter morsels would be delish too. Make a variety!

INGREDIENTS:

12 oz. vanilla-flavored candy coating, cut into pieces
1 (1-lb.) pkg. peanut butter-filled sandwich cookies
64 miniature chocolate chips (4 teaspoons)

DIRECTIONS:

1: In small saucepan, melt candy coating over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.

2: Line cookie sheets with waxed paper. Holding cookie with tongs, dip entire top and side of each cookie into melted coating, letting excess drip off. Lay flat, coated side up, on waxed paper-lined cookie sheets. Place 2 chocolate chips in coating to form eyes. Let stand about 10 minutes until set.

Sunday Chat – Editing Software Woes, 100 Patrons, Other Stuff

Posted by Darlene on October 22, 2017 at 1:24 pm

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

It’s Sunday!

And it’s not a happy camper day for me. I do not like my new editing software. Not. At. All. I don’t think I can ever get used to a tiny timeline and it seems like good old movie maker was the only software that thought actually seeing what you are doing was important. You can see movie maker above and filmora below. And for filmora I have it zoomed in to the max. Just sucks. If anyone knows of editing software with a huge ass timeline like I’m used to, please let me know here.

I have to find a way to move past this. Right now I’m quite depressed at having gotten my hopes up about something I expected to be fun for me. Instead I feel sick over it. I suck at life. I really do.

Let’s move on…

Yesterday I was able to record a Mini Dollar Tree Haul for my main channel. Not sure what I’ve got up my sleeve for today. I’d like to maybe sew something. I’ve very anxious for my muslin and denim so arrive! Yes, I have lots of fabric, but I don’t have those. lol

I can’t really think of much else to say. Let’s just get to the usual stuff.

*NEW* Patreon Update: I just reached 100 patrons which just blows my mind! I hope I can make everyone proud of their investments. You can be my patron for only $1.00 per month if you want to jump on the potty mouth train (or if you are just plain curious lol). You can cancel at any time.

What I Have on eBay: I give up. I’m so busy working on Fabric Frenzy (join group to learn more) that I just don’t have time for ebay right now.

Youtube Analytics Mini Update: Youtube has updated through 10/20. It’s such a blah month. I hope November is better. On stat I’m paying more attention to is my search traffic sournce analytics. I see this month that 25% of those who found me through search so far this month actually searched for “darlene michaud.” That means that some out there certainly know my name. The second most searched term that brings people to my videos is “quilt as you go” with 5.2% of my audience finding me that way. You can subscribe to my channel here.

Peanut Gallery Facebook Group Update: We currently have 1,300 members! Woohoo! We’ll be growing more when I start to promote Fabric Frenzy. You can join here! (I’m currently the only one who can post there, so it’s a very quiet group).
