I love porn! Porn porn porn!

By in food, making stuff is good

And not the sex type porn, oh, no no no. Food porn. Seriously. I pour over 2 food porn round up websites daily, drooling over beautiful photos and tempting recipes. My favourite used to be tastespotting, but when they went offline due to a discrepancy over ownership, foodgawker was born and now I am a […]

Computer tips from a non computer person

By in daily grind

I know, I’m the last person you’d expect computing help from, but I am here to tell you I learned about something that’s changed how I use the internets. Two words: Google Reader. I think I first read about this via Dooce (or maybe linked from her blog) and I immediately followed all instructions and […]

When I stay busy I forget…something…what were we talking about?

By in a good day, daily grind, dollhouse, love, making stuff is good

Gillian had posted an Etsy link in a comments thing about dollhouse miniature food and it’s so cute, I love it. Not that I have $35 for a teeny tiny cutting board with sandwich fixings on it-I wish. Anyway, I thought I’d post the miniature things I’ve been working on. Um. I made warm hats […]

Taken through the screen door and the sliding glass door. My right hand and arm are sore from painting Ari’s […]

Cozy and worm

By in dollhouse, making stuff is good

Because I don’t really want to start major renovations on my dollhouse before we move to the big space, I’ve been making little things just to feel like I am making progress. I had a few balls of self-striping sock yarn laying around and I’ve started making them into afghans for the dollhouse. It’s hard […]

Minutiae

By in a good day, daily grind

Every day on my way out of our building I look at this pile of sticks and laugh. Funny huh? Maybe not, but I picture dog owners saying “Ok Fido, gimme your stick and we’ll come and get it later” and the dog reluctantly handing it over. Although my dog theory could be wrong, yesterday […]
