November: Art Every Day Month
Kimiko posted about an artsy option for those of us that don’t participate in NaNoWriMo: Art Every Day Month. There’s a website and all, but I may just post here and/or to Facebook. Here’s the site if you want to take a look:

Applebutter experiment ..
Apples bought this year:
Winesap - semi tart, very firm/crisp, slightly spicy notes (from the rind, I think)
Braeburn -

Mutsu - sweet, crisp, good for eating.
Started with 6 qt pot full of apples (2/3 gala, 1/3 winesap) 2 to 3 cups of cider, boil down, then press through wire mesh strainer to remove skins (pain) and even ( Read more... ) -
The Universe is my enabler…
So today I decided to play hooky. This was not a well motivated hookey. I’m avoiding something at work, and have been avoiding it all week, and it will still be there when I get back. But I got up a bit late with a headache from doing embroidery last night (need to pick up some cheepo magnifying glasses, I think) and called in. I dwaleded around my ( Read more... ) -

Weekend at Heather’s
So by most standards a boring weekend, but lots of things checked off the never finished ‘To Do” List. Cleaned my apartment from top to bottom - dusting and general pickup and a good vacuuming today. Someone coming over to watch the cats while I’m in California is a great motivator to get the place in shape. Still need to wash the rugs, but I did ( Read more... ) -
Finally finding my center again.
It’s taken almost a week but I’m finally feeling a bit more grounded. I’ve spent so much time traveling recently I was a bit out of time and place for a while, not to mention sick. I’ve mostly kicked the cold, and I can tell my energy levels are getting much better. I’m working on laundry, cleaning out my car and vaguely thinking of packing for ( Read more... ) -
Costume College and other silly travels
So there’s zero chance that the bustle dress will be done for Costume College, although I still have some hope of getting it ready for DragonCon.
I was lamenting not having anything to wear at all (since most of my historical stuff is way too bulky to travel), when I had a flash of inspiration in the car last night. I’m not sure I’ll go through ( Read more... ) -
Made my afternoon...
From the people that brought you Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. (This is made of all kinds of awesome!)

No rest for the … busy
Oye, busy couple of weeks, and I’m only in the middle of a long stretch of travel and such.
Last weekend was … fourth of July, nice time overall.
Thursday I headed to Chicago, including a trip to IKEA and the downtown Vogue. Picked up a nice wooden chair for my deck and a couple of nice little wooden plant stands. At Vogue I got some basic ( Read more... )
