I read in the paper that winter is going to last another 6 weeks, and if that’s true, there could well be snow on my birthday. Which, if you were curious, happens each year with remarkable regularity on May 11th. An easy way to remember it this year is that it coincides with Mother’s Day. […]
Normally I try to do very little on the weekend. I prefer to lump around and MAYBE cook a meal. Well, today didn’t work out quite that way.
First, we went to Dollarama and bought all kinds of treats. Ari and I made Shrinky Dinks. Remember them? They shrink? The set we shared was fruits and […]
I have had a sweet tooth for the last couple days. Or make that weeks. Must be the cold weather?
Well, we’ve made all kinds of delicious treats around here, and most recently, I made brownies. Yes, from a package, but they were incredibly good. And, instead of the recommended walnuts, I added Skor bits. OMG, […]
I got involved with a community project. I was sent a cheapo dollar store doll and I have to give her a makeover and send in a picture. I just got mine yesterday and I have been studying her to try to come up with ideas on how to make her prettier, like that’s even […]
I have been blessed, over the years, to be friends with artists who like me enough to make beautiful paintings for me. It’s different than going to an art gallery and just buying something you like, it’s more personal than that. And so, a history:
1. Tony Holiday made this for me back when his last […]
Well, these were made from a mix. Lemon cake mix was on sale, and I did have all that extra frosting leftover…
Pretty cute, huh?
Getting better looking by the minute.
It wasn’t on purpose that they came out looking like tits. I think my mother was amused, but I talked loud enough that she wasn’t able to […]
Num. I inherited a giant zucchini (aka Big Man on Campus) this weekend and felt obligated to make something with it. Now giant veggies often do not taste very nice, so I figured on grating it up and making it into zucchini muffins, bread, cupcakes, something.
As you can see, huge. And it’s well traveled too, […]
One day I will publicly post the story of yesterday’s day trip. One day, when I feel like I will not be charged with a federal offense. Or two.
This is a picture of the first toy I ever made. I wish I could remember her name! I designed it, and my mother sewed the seams […]
I made this very quickly. I tend to not do the finishing part very well and everything turns out crooked. Ah, I can live with that. It adds to the charm, I guess

The dinner blogging is usually a task I leave to someone else (mostly because he does the cooking and I do the eating, it would be like posting someone else’s art) but today, I am the mistress of the kitchen. My own kitchen! And I never cook at home, never, ever, ever.
Here goes:
1. I wanted […]
