The Corning Museum has paired up with Celebrity Cruises to take you out on a glass cruise if you’re game.

And if you’re a glass blower they’re looking for more glass blowers to work in the show. On the Corning page about the cruise you can watch a video telling you all about the cruise.

Etsy Spotlight: Wayfarer Shoes PDF Sewing Pattern Review
Ever dreamed of sewing your own shoes? I recently stumbled across this Wayfarer Shoes Adult PDF Sewing Pattern on Etsy, and it instantly caught my eye—not just for the sleek and casual design, but for the practicality of being able to make something so unique and wearable right from home!
This pattern is clearly laid out and beginner-friendly, with step-by-step photo instructions that make it feel more like a cozy afternoon craft session than a daunting DIY project. The design is surprisingly versatile—you can use canvas, denim, or even upcycle fabric scraps to make something truly personal. And let’s talk comfort: the finished shoes are flexible and perfect for indoor lounging or quick errands. It’s the kind of project that makes you feel a little extra crafty and a lot proud.
What I really love is that it’s a digital download, so you can get started immediately—no waiting around for shipping. Plus, it makes for a fantastic handmade gift idea (think Mother’s Day, birthdays, or even matching family sets!).
If you’re looking to stretch your sewing skills beyond clothes and bags, this is the perfect weekend project to try. It’s practical, stylish, and just quirky enough to say, “Yes, I made these myself!” .
