The Best Things in my Brain, December 2025
I’ve always been a person who loves to learn and find new things and share them with others, but these things don’t always warrant a full blog or social media post. So I’m offering a once a month, short and sweet post on the best things I learned, read, heard, or saw recently.
I’ve got a couple potential last minute gift ideas in the craft section this month, but a friendly reminder that there’s still discounted shipping in the stationery shop through December 18!
Also if you’re curious about the stockings in the cover photo, you can revisit my blog post about making those here.
Best Things in my Brain, Craft Edition:
This very cool type face uses slip stitches to allow knitters to form letters without a lot of long floats. I haven’t tried it out yet, but as a knitter AND a massive font nerd, it’s definitely on my list to try! You can purchase the font and an e-book on how to use it at the link above.
Hot Dang Press makes some really cute iron ons, from tiny embellishments to massive, full t-shirt size. These would be really cute if you wanted to liven up a solid color project bag. These would also be a great gift as is for a crafter.
Best Thing in my Brain, Non-Craft Edition:
I’m old enough to remember the Jim Henson-era Muppets as peak childhood nostalgia; I love the newer versions, too, but Great Muppet Caper is my favorite Muppet movie. I’ve long wondered how they pulled off the scene where all the Muppets ride bikes in a real-life outdoor park – the answer is surprisingly simple and pretty delightful. This video covers that and a few other JH-era examples of how the Muppets were filmed in the “real world,” some of which I’d seen before and others that I hadn’t.
What’s the best thing currently in your brain?
