Hi- forget that Prime Rate stuff. I got one for you- hot dogs. I like to buy the 97% fat free Hebrew National franks. They’re now up to over $5 a package! Yesterday, even the Oscar Mayer Fat Free (edible, but HN is so much tastier) Wieners were $4.29. That’s more money than a [...]
Friday, I was pushing my shopping cart around the Weis Market, trying my best to get in and out without forgetting something critical, like bread or milk. Imagine my surprise when the happy in store music system started playing Halloween songs! Things I hadn’t heard in years from the 50’s and 60’s when Novelty songs [...]
Which in the craft world stands for “unfinished object” I started this one the second half of 2004- the year I was the poster child for Gastroenterology. Once I had surgery, I got better. I was a sick chickie, but I could still do crafts, so I started Mr. Snowman. (click on the [...]
Here’s the latest round of harvest from the garden!
Let’s see- I went outside to get some potatoes. I pulled up 1 1/2 plants and got about a dozen potatoes. They’re redskin variety. Four are huge and the rest are smallish and will made nice additions to salad. There’s about a dozen tomatoes- most of [...]
It’s “hiding” in the oven. I didn’t make a feast for the two of us. When I saw what a nice, spiral sliced ham goes for in today’s icky economy, I couldn’t justify the cost for dinner for two. Not to mention it would end up being at least four dinners, and who knows how [...]
Every person who does needlecrafts has a “stash” (Nope, not like what we called a stash in the 70’s) I have a buddy who sews and she has boxes and boxes of lovely fabric. I have a nifty plastic box full of dozens of colors of DMC floss. I used to do a lot [...]
My Fortune Cookie told me:
You have a blossoming future in taxidermy.
Get a cookie from Miss Fortune
The funny, funny thing is, I was just reading about taxidermy! Alan Alda has written a memoir called, Never Have Your Dog Stuffed. When he was a boy, the family dog died. His dad, trying to be helpful, took the [...]
I made an embroidered picture back when Mr. Reagan was President. I recall I’d bought a big asst. of embroidery threads with lots of colors to try. I was using crewel techniques, only with the cotton thread. So I just stitched away and never quite knew how to finish it. It’s been sitting in a stash box [...]
I’m sort of entering that phase. Hanging, bag lady clothes because the smaller clothes are still too tight. It’s kind of like that awkward stage when you’re growing your hair out- it goes through the unkempt mid-length. But it’s a much better experience than putting on my 2x pants and finding them tight!
Got up this morning [...]
WELCOME TO THE NEW BLOG! I decided that since I was hijacking all of Pamela & Kurt’s blog space, I ought to get my own!
It’s a gorgeous, not hot Friday. Got my errands done and sat down to learn how to become an Internet blogger
I’M READING: Well, just finished actually- Treasure Box by Orson Scott [...]
