I’m doing one last craft fair this season, and this time it’s at a brand new venue. Tacoma’s Museum of Glass is hosting its first-ever holiday craft fair, featuring 10 local artisans in the beautiful space of the Grand Hall. So if there’s something you still need to cross off your list, you can find it here:

First, invite your family down for the day. Squeeze out some fresh lemonade;

Then mix up some cream, sugar, and fresh berries (plus just a pinch of that lemon juice to bring out the flavor);

and start crankin’.

Let everyone pitch in—the longer you churn, the harder it’ll get.

Finally, when even teamwork won’t turn that handle, you’re ready.

If all that ice cream gives you a chill, just head for the hot shop;
