Vrooom! Vrrrrooooooommmm!!!

By in crochet, Griping, haha, making stuff is good, seriously?

Someone who lives in my building had fun Saturday night with their motorcycle. Or did something deeply regrettable, I’m not sure. What I do know is that loud revving could be easily heard and that the perfume of burnt rubber was in the air. At 1:30am. Lucky us. But check the damage done to the […]

Taking a break

By in crochet

It’s perfectly normal to knit while taking a break from…knitting, right? When you are me, then answer is a resounding YES. I was getting tired of mitts so I switched to squids. I read a cool article about how they fly-it’s amazing really-so they’ve been on my mind. It’s red because it’s angry. Tomorrow I […]

Ok, ok!

By in crochet

Was it merely delayed teenaged angst that caused my last post? Was I feeling lonely and in need of e-gratification? Am I merely an attention whore? Probably a bit of all of the above. Must be. What I am working on currently: 2 really big secret projects that I can’t blog about until after Xmas. […]

Colours/Changes

By in crochet, Griping, seriously?

I won’t be blogging as much anymore. Not only do people almost never comment on my blog-leading me to think no one reads it anymore so what’s the point-I’m making a computer switch out to using my ipad almost exclusively. This laptop is a piece of shit that I never got to properly test drive […]

Hilariously awful

By in clothes, Griping, seriously?

I cleaned our oven today. Talk about the world’s grossest job. The brown goop that came out of it was so gross, omg. I guiltily used almost an entire roll of paper towels-I just couldn’t bring myself to use a damp rag that would need rinsing after each swipe. Ugh. Anyway, this horrible task led […]

PB&J cookies

By in food

I made these cookies the other day. Not only were they totally easy but they are so yummy too. Mine looked a little different than hers, I used margarine instead of butter and my apartment is blazing hot so they spread more. I think if (ok, when) I make them again, I’d chill the dough […]

Ok, cute.

By in dollhouse

More dollhouse updates. I found the perfect family for the house today, at Toys ‘R’ Disposable. Olivia! I love Olivia! Mother is in the living room with baby William.  New couch! Father is calling up to Mother, he’s on his way into the washroom. Ian is playing with toys in the bedroom. Olivia is showing […]

Not cute.

By in Griping, kitty

Seeing these chickens at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair on Saturday made me very sad.  I’m pretty much immune to the gelatinous blobs that go to the fair, the rude and obnoxious people that ride transit and other every day crap, but this really bummed me out. Like being a chicken at a traveling petting […]

Exterior

By in dollhouse

Interior wallpapering and flooring are pretty much done-other than the kitchen-so I got to work on the exterior. It’s not exactly as planned, I thought I was going to go with a white textured paper, like the kitchen floor, but I saw this paper and liked it much better. I picture this house out in […]

Renovations

By in dollhouse

I’ve been inspired to get back to work on my dollhouse(s). I like how it’s coming along, I got some really cool paper at an art supply store and that’s certainly helped things move along. The bedroom is not finished but it’s more finished than any other room: The wallpaper is Japanese, the curtains are […]
