A friend of mine got the Peloton last year. As of last month she has lost almost 50 pounds. She bikes EVERY OTHER day for only 45 minutes and makes healthy food choices.
WHAT ON EARTH is Gene eating off camera if she is cycling hours every day?????
It honestly baffles me. I’ve had my Peloton for a little over a year, cycle 2x/week for 20-30 minutes, strength train 3-4x/week for 20-40 minutes. Haven’t really changed my diet (which isn’t terrible, but also not super clean), and I’ve lost 16 pounds.
Heck, I have an older stationary AirDyne bike that I've been riding about 45 minutes every other day as well as strength training several times a week. I lowered my carb intake (not drastically) and have lost 20 pounds since May.
She has got to be eating an unbelievable amount of calories. Or perhaps her body is rebelling against being punished?
Because they are definitely not Moira and Daddy Crafty. 🤦🏻♀️
It's her cleaning guru, "Vanessa" Romaro, who got married at the end of October to Tomas Vences. (If you look very closely, at the bottom left of the pic, you can see Vanessa copyrighted the pic - it's in light gray. Came from HER Instagram.)
God, Giada's going from high school down to elementary school calling other people she deems "celebrities" as her parents. I guess you all should know, Brad Pitt is my husband, then.
freakshow
Thank youHeather Riley, I knew someone would know. I could tell it was a recent pic but couldn't fathom who she'd be calling "Mom & Dad".
Again, back to her acting like a child. Just more proof that she lives in an imaginary fantasy world.
P.S. My husband is Keanu Reeves...in case anyone was wondering.
She’s like a little kid. Look at me watch my favorite tv show. Wanna see my new game app? I’m a big girl, I can make breakfast (lunch, dinner, what have you) ALLL by myself! Aren’t you pwoud of me? Oh no! I got a bad boo boo and needed a band-aid. Wahhh!
Grow up, Joda, you’ll be 40 in less than a month. Don’t you think it’s time to act like a normal, responsible, mature human being? You’ve been at this crap & recycling the same sad regurgitated 💩 for nearly TEN YEARS. Aren’t you tired of serving the same tired slop to your subbies and jumping through hoops to keep your stories straight? Spending day after day with your own videos playing on repeat via multiple computers must get old after a while. Aren’t you sick of it by now?
This is proof positive that she has literally not a single friend to chat with over the minutiae of her day. Junior is a little selfish brat who is too busy staring at herself in her camera phone to give a snap about what's going on in Mama G's world. According to Joda, she & Mommie Dearest are all but estranged. So that only leaves her camera "boo" to talk to. It's pitiful.
Joda, if you think your widdle finger cut is scary then you need to get out more. A cancer diagnosis is scary. True accidents that send people to the emergency room are scary. Covid is scary. Tornados are scary. Not your little cut that needed one Band-Aid.
What a loon.

Giada has officially crossed the road into pathetic town. She uploaded a vlog today with the title “I had a scary accident.”
Stay with me on this. If you read a title like that, what do you imagine? Perhaps falling down the stairs? An incident with her car? One of her bookcases falling on her? Those are the types of things I imagined.
But nope. She cut her widdle thumb on a can when she was making her disgusting spaghetti sauce chili. That’s it. I’m not exaggerating. That was it. However, she devoted several minutes of her vlog to this and even had to debrief us with a play-by-play. She had a regular bandaid on her thumb and repeatedly said I’m not going to show you the blood, but then did and it was a small droplet that was evident through bandaid. She was insisting that she probably needed stitches because it wouldn’t stop bleeding. However, her bandage spoke the truth.
Giada’s need for tea and sympathy is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. I’ve actually cut my hand to the point of needing stitches. There is no question. I was opening a wine bottle (holding the neck of the bottle in my left hand) and using the wine opener with my right hand. The wine bottle snapped at the neck and cut my hand open. Even with a towel and paper towels, my hand was bleeding through.
I think Giada has had so few life experiences and has such limited contact with real people, she has severely stunted social-emotional development.
Coming back to edit to add that even when I received 14 stitches in my hand, I wouldn’t have described the event as “scary.”
I accidentally posted on another thread of Crusty's that no one posts on anymore. When no one posted for 2 days, I thought I got banned somehow!😜😁
Anyhow, I posted that I wonder how much longer she'll be hawking hauls for DT since all prices are $1.25 now (at least they are in my area). That's a 25% price increase. She can't say "It's a dolllurrr at Dolllurr Tree" anymore. 🙄🙂🙂
LegalChick, sorry about that! We had IDES make an extra CCG page to keep a history of her past misdeeds (and keep to track of her current treatment of poor Loki).
I've been downloading some clips & vids and compiling notes & will have some posts on that thread soon. The 3 hours while the site was down for maintenance last night didn't help.
Do you all remember when poor Loxy had cherry eye (which the Cane Corso breed has a tendency to get) and went forever without getting treatment for? I had completely forgotten about it. She has a been a crap pet owner since day one.
She is utterly stupid for allowing the new puppy to chew on shoes instead of replacing the shoe with an appropriate toy. If she doesn't nip that in the bud now, the puppy will think that all shoes are fair game. Then he'll get yelled at in the future for chewing on shoes & won't understand why.
Hi,long time reader here but first time to post. I've made observations like many of y'all. I've been watching less and less of the videos because, well, I just can't. I usually come here to stay current.
Concerning the poor pup, I have questions. What are those scars from? Did I miss something? If she gets smaller cage won't he only be able to lay on the pee pad? The pad is half the size of current cage.
I don't mean to sound harsh but I think the "scars" is actually like blonde markings on his fur. At least that's what it looks like to me. I can see how they would be mistaken for scars. I could be wrong though...my old eyes aren't what they used to be!
Loki has a partial brindle coat. He’s not pure black. One of his parents may have been fully brindle.

Love it! She’s definitely a “mean one” and greedy to boot.
Don can be a shitty manipulative ass in one area of his life and also a doting father to his children. The two things are not mutually exclusive.
It doesn't follow that Jen suddenly became a different person after motherhood. That's not how narcissism works. Don would have been well aware of her narcissistic ways long before having children with her. He knew she was a narcissistic cow and still had children with her. That's really not okay to me. This is my hill 🤷♀️
"Converging evidence suggests that our perceptions of romantic partners are often not based on objective reality, but are rather positive illusions. Thus, for example, we may perceive our partners as more physically attractive than ourselves, a phenomenon that has been called the ‘love-is-blind bias’."
"For instance, individuals in dating and married relationships tend to project images of what they consider to be their ideal partner onto their current partners, essentially imbuing them with all kinds of idealised qualities (Murray et al., 1996b). Even when they are confronted with their partners’ faults, individuals tend to deny the importance of those weaknesses."(Murray & Holmes, 1993, 1994).
Joda sounded SO smug when she talked about adding greenery to her shelves. Uh…okay, feel superior if that’s all you got.
I started rolling my eyes when (in her vlog) she said she had to start planning for Thanksgiving dinner now, because of her busy schedule. What? Busy? Crafty Girl?
I have a question about her grocery list: is purchasing “Hot Milk” really a thing in Texas? I’m going to need to Google this.
QUOTE (Cuddlebug @ 11/7/2021, 11:04 PM)
Hot milk? I am in Texas and, no, we don’t buy nor have I seen hot milk anywhere.
I took a look at the beginning of her vlog where she writes her "Thanksgiving list". I can only surmise that dingus Joda saw "hot milk" listed as an ingredient on a recipe & being the clueless goofball that she is, she thought there's an actual ingredient out there called "hot milk".
I think it's kind of hilarious that she had to add a ton of things that are normally staples in the kitchens of people who cook regularly. Butter, flour, sugar...can't believe she doesn't keep at least a small amount of these around. But then of course this IS Joda we're talking about. The same person who puts jarred spaghetti sauce in her chili.
Ladies & gents, just want to let you know I am still working on posts for the Crafty Girl History Files and will have them posted soon. It's taking longer than I anticipated but boy are there some real gems out there that I had forgotten.

That’s so cute. I’m not sure what style she’s looking for. She has exams end of the month and is blocking everything out until then. I’ll wait and make it after. There will be enough time. I really like this style
Not to be mean, but for someone who climbed every mountain 3 months ago and has been presumably training, Jen looks super chunky.
Totally agree. She looks like she's gained a metric ton since August. Like someone said in the last thread, doesn't look like she's subsisting on all those salads & veggies she said she yearned for in Italy.
Hi guys, I’m prepping several synopses of Crafty Girl’s worst misdeeds of the past. I should have them written and posted in this thread by the end of this the weekend.
I’m hoping we can keep this thread focused on her most egregious acts like Snotfest, Cheergate, faux giveaways, her treatment of Loxie and the new puppy, etc., etc. so we can direct new Bakers, lurkers, & CCG defenders here for Giada’s backstory and long history of lying and other crap she’s done.
Cuddle Bug, that is the very CCG drama that sent me looking for answers on Google years ago. I searched “Cheap Crafty Girl lies” and the Bakery immediately popped up. And the rest, as they say, is history. 😉

There are so many shady things with Giada. The move out of the rental (two houses ago) was weird. She starts complaining about her neighbor with a loud truck and the next thing we know she is moving. Out of nowhere she has an issue with her neighbor. Really weird.
Her weird emotionless reaction to poor Loki doesn’t surprise me at all. I still think she’s got sociopathic tendencies. Sociopaths frequently know what society’s expectations are and how they’re supposed to act. They can go through the motions for an audience. It’s all for show though. They are masters of manipulation.
Athletic Calves, I had the same thought as you re: her getting rid of the puppy if she gets tired of dealing with him. She obviously gave no thought to how big he would get and what kind of training he requires to not be a nuisance or a danger to her or others.
We had a female Great Dane named Daisy when my kids were elementary age. Even being a female of the breed she was huge. She was a big old softy love bug, but didn’t care for strangers. She scared the crap out of some people just by her appearance alone. She liked nothing better than to lean against her favorite people and wag her tail. We did not get her tail docked so when she leaned against you she could actually knock you down or whip your legs with her tail (and leave a few bruises) in her excitement to be next to you. She would have been a real handful if we didn’t take her to obedience training early.
Joda seems to think her only responsibility is just to feed the puppy and buy him toys (kinda like she does with Junior & Bug). Then she can just ignore him until she’s ready to interact with him. It doesn’t really work with human children and even less so with animals. They deserve love, affection, and gentle but firm training. It makes them a happier pet and us a happier pet owner.
Flowercat, thank you for sharing that pick of your sweet kitties. Seeing contented fur babies always makes me happy!
I think we should make a list of topics to highlight here. Maybe something like:
Snotfest Cheergate Faux Giveaways Crafty Girl Real Estate (her lies about previous non-home ownership) Crappy Pet Parent CCG’s Work History (or lack thereof) Miscellaneous Lies
That’s what I’ve thought of so far. I’m sure there are other categories we could add. Let me know what you guys think. 😁
I could tell it was a recent pic but couldn't fathom who she'd be calling "Mom & Dad".
