Montgomery's life, legacy, and lasting impact on Canadian literature, the girls continue bedazzling their piggy banks and somehow manage to wander into plenty of aftershow shenanigans along the way. 💎 Craft: Bedazzled Piggy Banks 📖 Case: The Life and Legacy of Lucy Maud Montgomery 🎙️ Plus: Summer stories, random rabbit holes, and the usual Crafting the Case chaos

    Episode 36 - Prophets and Paintings

    Episode 36… or 37?? honestly who knows at this point 😂 This week on Crafting the Case, Sandi dives into the disturbing story behind the FLDS group and Samuel Bateman, unpacking the events leading up to the recent Netflix documentary and how it all connects back to the ongoing legacy of control, power, and manipulation within the FLDS. While the story unfolds, Tara leads us through a calming (and much-needed) acrylic painting session on canvas 🎨✨ — a slight emotional contrast to the case, to say the least. We’re not done yet though… next week we’re continuing the project by adding molding clay to create a full picnic scene 🧺🌼 As always, we wrap things up with our aftershow — chatting books, shows we’re loving lately, and exchanging some very on-brand little gifts 💅🎁 Dark stories, cozy crafts, and a little bit of chaos — just how we like it.
