White Chocolate Blueberry Cookies

I finally got some time to make cookies again! Sorry for missing the last two Cookie Fridays. I must confess I strapped the baby into his high chair and gave him not exactly healthy baby food to keep him appeased while I baked. Nilla wafers RULE.

Home is Where the MAC is!

I LOVE this rendition of the Home Is Where The Controller Is by SuzyCat:

I’m a little ashamed that I didn’t think of this one!

Knitters, HELP!

Okie dokie, so I have gotten to a point of frustration with the knitting.  I love the way the stockinette stitch looks, all those little parallel Vs really appeal to my OCD side.  The problem I’m having is the bottom curls.  Like REALLY curls.  I’m trying to find information online, and I’m getting different answers [...]

Huge Weekend

I had one of the craziest weekends I’ve had in a long time. First off, the Professor went out of state with his grandparents overnight. This was the first time he and I had been apart for more than a few hours. While I was looking forward to having a weekend all [...]

Why don’t ya take a picture, it’ll last longer

Update!

So the costumes are tugging along. It can get quite frustrating at times. Fabric just doesn’t do what I tell it to! I like yarn. It does just what I want it to. No folding or fraying or getting crooked in the sewing machine. Argh. And my lovely [...]

No cookie Friday today

Sorry, foodies. No cookie recipe this week. I am going to be over at my Mother in law’s house, picking her brain about sewing patterns. I am making out Halloween costumes this year. I don’t know WHAT I was thinking when I agreed to do that since the only thing I’ve [...]
