The Barbie movie that came out this year starring Margo Robbie and Ryan Gosling is the movie of the summer. With a remarkable four-week run as the No. 1 movie and an unprecedented gross exceeding $1.36 billion, it claimed the title of 2023's highest-grossing film.

For someone like me, who typically opts for the coziness of home movies vs. the bustling movie theatres, the Barbie Movie was a rare exception. I was so excited to see this movie since I caught sneak peek photos of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in their Barbie Movie attire last year.

I'm a bit late to the crochet bee trend. But hey, better late than never, right?

Over the last year, the crochet world has been buzzing with bee-themed projects, from simple but adorable pill-shaped amigurumi bees to intricate honeycomb blankets. I couldn't resist jumping on the bandwagon and trying my hand at making my own crochet bee.

I love crocheting continuous rounds when I crochet amigurumi so that there is no visible seam. However, because there's no seam, it's hard to know where the start of the round is. This is where the running stitch marker comes in handy.

You can use regular stitch markers when crocheting in spiraled rounds and move them each time you start a new round, but you would only be keeping track of the beginning of the current round. If you notice a mistake a few rounds back and need to take it apart, you could easily lose your place.

Did you know that Tamagotchis are still in production and going strong? The most popular toy from the 90s made a comeback when Pixar's Turning Red was released!

Turning Red has become one of my family's favorite movies of all time! As a Chinese Canadian kid who grew up in the 90s, this movie brought back so many memories. The moment I saw Meilin Lee (aka Mei, the main character) marching onto the screen with a Tamagotchi strapped to her backpack, I knew it was going to be good.
