First things first…it is Husband's birthday today. I really am blessed to have the husband I do. He's a wonderful man and makes my live better, in so many ways. We spent some time alone together, thanks to some Grammy and Grampa time for the girls. It was a nice. This morning, and early afternoon [...]

My neighbor is an artist. She does amazing carvings, as well as painting. She recently designed a line of growth charts that would look fabulous as art in the main living area of your home. These are not the normal "kid" focused growth charts, and while writing the height on the wall, or on the [...]

I'm in a foul mood today. I'm not sure why…maybe it's that I have been working on taxes, so spent the day beating myself up over procrastinating with the bookkeeping…there is nothing more annoying than listening to yourself scold you all day long. The biggest problem with being your own boss…when the boss gets all [...]

Okay, so the title is probably a bit dramatic… I did find two very helpful, knowledgeable and kind guys, who were willing to fix my oxygen concentrators. I use oxygen concentrators to power my oxygen/propane mix torch for bead making. They are the kind that are used in hospitals and nursing homes, for people who [...]

This is my first post in March. Boy have I been neglectful of this little spot, not good when the title is what did she do TODAY. Well, after that power outage life has just not been normal. Not bad, just not normal. For those who know me well, this will be a big shock, [...]
She Decided She Needed New Night Ware, and Made Ricotta Gnocci for a Dark Days Dinner February 22, 2010
Posted in Dark Days Challenge, Locavore, Sewing, shopping on February 23, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Today is part two of my Dark Days meal from last week. I decided, instead of making ravioli, I would make ricotta gnocci. I made gnocci with friends before, but it was potato gnocci, and when I saw mention of Riccotta gnocci on another blog, I thought that would be a prefect use for my [...]

This post was updated, and the updates can be found in bold type. We ate well tonight! I grabbed two of the Roosters we raised and harvested, out of the freezer yesterday, defrosted them, then today, I roasted them in a covered roaster, with a bit of water, a little wine, salt, pepper and rosemary [...]
She Made Brioche January 7, 2009
Posted in Just stuff, shopping on January 8, 2010 | 4 Comments »
My friend Joseph and I were chatting and I asked him if he knew of a local bakery that would have Brioche, as the two I thought to check with did not. He suggested that instead of buying one, we make one together. I want it for a recipe, so I figured an experimental loaf [...]
She Found Herself a Little Teary Eyed December 31, 2009
Posted in Knitting, Locavore, shopping on January 1, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Teary Eyed, yes, but not from looking back on the year. No, it was over Apples. Yes, that's right, apples. Mini is a huge fan. She asks for one several times a day, and while we indulge no more than 2-3 times, there is never an occasion that she would turn one down. I was [...]

We went to my Grandparents, on my Dad's side, for the big family get together. I enjoy going there for holidays. My family is a great group of folks. I brought along a jar of the Cranberry sauce Jessica and I made a couple weeks ago. It was so yummy on my turkey! I love [...]
