Still sewing underwear. Here's a little set I made about 2 weeks ago. It's dark brown stretch lace (sounds scary but it's actually very soft) with some super cool light blue stretch lace trim. I found both of these items here locally at Mill Ends. They actually have quite a bit of this t...

    I'm having a pretty hard week, so I thought I put up something nice to look at— to make myself feel better. You know, just something nice and uncomplicated and non-emotional. That's the ticket. I have some new art prints for sale. I've been drawing a lot of items lately...

I am moving slow this week. We are all so tired—but it's that tired that makes it hard to actually sleep, you know? It's like I am too tired to rest. Hopefully I can soon. I am really stunned and deeply touched by the comments about Gramps passing away. Condolences are hard to express—as...

  We needed a winter-time rainy day craft project a bit back, so I got out my supplies which always seem to involved unpainted wood. I had these boxes in the craft room (unpainted cigar boxes from Michael's. Actually, everything was from Michael's) and gathered up some unpainted wood s...

While the girls were working on their ATC cards for the swap (due in the mail this weekend) I worked on the hair ribbon thingies I had been meaning to make. These are modeled off the fancy hair bands with ribbons given to the girls for a birthday or Christmas gift from I think a family member. I don...

But I love it nevertheless. I actually really like Heart, so it's not even a dis. This was cut for the previously mentioned b-day girl. I framed it up nice. It was a hard one to cut—the curves are the trickiest. The little girls there in the corners actually had two pig-tails originally. Oops....

A heaven log. A loaf of happiness. It's zebra cake—or chocolate wafer icebox cake. We made this a bit back and I forgot how incredibly good it is. I found myself thinking it was my favorite cake ever. I think this about many types of cake. This one is dang good, though. It's also perfect f...

More random food in jar photos. This one has really made me happy this week. It's pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I always see this called for in recipes and it's always in very small quantities. Straight from the can, it's a mess. It's hard to save, a pain to freeze, and so ...

Recently Read: I know I posted about this book, Lonely Werewolf Girl a bit back, but I have to give it another shout-out since I finished it and so badly want to read it again. If werewolves, punk bands, Scottish highlands, court intrigue, high fashion, joan jett, drug abuse, a little cross-dressing...

Sadie is reading Peanuts. I got this beautiful new edition of a Peanuts book a bit back. Actually it was for Delia, but Sadie (the reader) took it, and it's now squirreled away in her top bunk. I found this 1964 edition at Powell's over the weekend and the cover graphics just kill me. So cool. We ca...
