Happy Easter Rabbit, Horray!
I admit I love Easter candy. My favorites are the solid chocolate bunny and the Cadbury Mini-eggs. I made the mistake of buying a bag of Mini-eggs a week ahead of time and had to go out and get more. Tragic, really. This year I found “gourmet” corn-syrup free jelly beans, [...]
I had a few orders for Easter basket fillers recently. I had finished and mailed the first two orders, the third was waiting on the coffee table to be shipped. In the (open) package. Wrapped with yummy tissue paper. Unattended for about twenty minutes while I made up a mailing label in the next room. [...]
As many people know, I am pretty cheap. My own Gramma brags to people about how frugal I am. Ok, so having a woman who grew up during the depression tell other people I am cheap is a little weird, but there is a discernible note of pride there. To me it is like a [...]
Now is the time when I would normally start to freak out because I am not Martha Stewart, nor do I have her glitter wielding crafty minions awaiting my beck and call. I could sure use some crafty minions (hold the glitter please, unless a vacuum wielding maid comes with those minions) , but this [...]
Right now it is 9:30 pm and my house is filled with the wonderful smell of pumpkin pie. I am so glad I made two, since the urge to eat them as soon as they set up is very strong. I even have the heavy cream in the chillin’ in the ‘fridge waiting for [...]
Christmas Crafts
Um, yes. So it’s October and for the first time in my life I am preparing for the upcoming Holiday Season early. Usually I wait until Thanksgiving to even start thinking about making anything, which has proved to be stressful. I truly hope that I am not frantically putting something together on Christmas Eve [...]
I mentioned before that I made a clothes pin holder out of plastic bags. It was supposed to go to Frog for an MDC craft swap, but it turned out crooked and too awkward to send to anyone. However, it works just fine for me.
Sort of an Eh first try. It was going ok until [...]
As promised, here are the photos of Peter’s book. I had to wait until the rechargeable batteries re-charged before I could get them off the camera!
Front Cover
P is for Penguin.
E is for Elephant, T is for Truck. The truck body crinkles and reads “Pete’s Pitas”.
E is for egg, R is for robot.

I love this [...]
This is the first of a two part order I made for a nice lady who admired my other books. They were supposed to have been done two weeks ago, but what with FIL’s death and the time spent at hospice in July in addition to the garden being in full swing… well, all I [...]
Time flies when you are having fun… or have nothing to say… or something like that.
Every spare second of my time seems to be filled in advance with something. This time of year I get struck by the urge to clean like mad before the winter sets in and we are trapped in a filthy, [...]
