Quick Question: Is there a laminator big enough for puzzles? Asking for a friend/me ‘cause I’m hankering for the most honkin’, humongous laminator I can find. (The answer is yes, according to the internet. Laminating puzzles is a great way to make place mats and such. Oooh! I smell a bonus project! (which smells like… Continue reading Conversation Piece

Giddy-Up, Horsetails!
I can’t find my way out of the cheese aisle at Freddy’s, but I think I just found the forest moon Endor. As you can see from the feature photo for this post, I’ve accidentally stumbled upon it. Here’s how to get there: walk aimlessly through my neighborhood, take a sharp right, and then a… Continue reading Giddy-Up, Horsetails!
Is It Cake, Or…?
Is it cake or my dream vacation home? I could live in the Land of Vanilla, where gentle waves of frosting lap yellow cake shores. Also, this cake sort of kind of looks like a giant doughnut, and I don’t hate that idea, either. Here’s the thing: I didn’t really make it myself. It just… Continue reading Is It Cake, Or…?
Gettin’ Handy: Handprint Lilies
Turkeys are tired of your hands all over their bodies. The Turkey Association Against Fowl Play recently released a statement asserting that “turkey feathers are not to be used as a costume for fingers, and thumbs are no place to stick a waddle.” Besides, it’s spring. The turkeys want you to handle some lilies, instead.… Continue reading Gettin’ Handy: Handprint Lilies
Yes, You Have to Fly Over the Water to Get to Hawaii
In a flashing fit of spring fever (or actual hot flashes?), I said “aloha” to all (two) of my flower dresses and sent them, bursting-at-the-seams style, in a carry-on, headed for Hawaii. The whole thing wedged itself sturdily between my feet, under the seat in front of me. Here’s the catch: As much as I… Continue reading Yes, You Have to Fly Over the Water to Get to Hawaii
Sew What??!!
I got my mind blown in the crafts aisle at the big box store this morning. I’m doing my best to recover, but I can’t get that waffle candle project out of my mind—that will be next on my list. (Make a waffle-shaped candle that smells like waffles? L’eggo my Eggo! Here I come a… Continue reading Sew What??!!
Survival Toolkit for When Everything’s an Emergency
Fleshy faced robots, with the capability of smiling at you, could one day soon press their faces upon the window and look inside your house. I discovered this face-ripping fact this morning after casually typing “weird news” into a search, and now I can’t stop thinking about these freaky bots, but NOT in a “cool,… Continue reading Survival Toolkit for When Everything’s an Emergency
Groundhog Grub
Gussy up, rodent fans! Groundhog Day is burrowing in with powerful short legs and chiseled incisors—and I haven’t a thing to wear. What does one wear when an eleven-pound squirrel-like creature determines something so important as the weather forecast for the next six weeks? Punxsutawney Phil will be wearing a fur coat while paraded around… Continue reading Groundhog Grub
Sachet, You Stay
A banana-scented wallet will not perfume your drawers. I got one of these in a gift exchange, and it wasn’t a wallet I’d actually want, so I put it work in my underwear drawer and…nothing. Lesson learned. Don’t send a banana-scented wallet to do the job of an actual scented sachet packet. Here’s what prompted… Continue reading Sachet, You Stay
All the Range: Now We’re Cooking!
Is it hot in here, or did I just tell my old cooktop, flambé, sautée, you don’t stay? Yes and yes! I got a new cooktop. Unpopular opinion: I got rid of a gas range to use an electric one instead. Hear me out. 1) I can’t even pretend to be a professional home cook.… Continue reading All the Range: Now We’re Cooking!
