So, I haven’t blogged in a bit, and I was in the mood to write. I haven’t been tremendously inspired lately, so I sent out a tweet to my followers to send me a muse. I received one response, “go carts.”
All I knew about go carts were that you could race them. [...]
Greetings!
I realize we are almost at the end of March, and here I am discussing a ‘FEBRUARY’ sweater…
So, I saw the picture and pattern for the February Lady Sweater on Ravelry. Pippin and I decided we had to make it. Not only that, we decided that we had to take the class being run at [...]
I am a pretty open person. I like to talk. I like to talk about myself. But I like to be careful about what I say to whom. And it all comes down to trust.
Let me profile my best friend for you. She is an extremely hard-worker. She teaches. [...]
Alright…so the combination really isn’t THAT out of the ordinary…and didn’t require a whole lot of imagination. I mean…I could have done a roast chicken with garlic mashed…or garlic chicken with roasted potatoes…And really, who doesn’t like Po-Ta-Toes? You can Boil ‘em, Mash ‘em, Stick ‘em in a stew…
But what did I do? Well, my [...]
Ok. So, you see a title like BBQ Ribs…and it elicits feelings of summer…backyard barbecues, messy hands, sticky fingers…or maybe it makes you think of places like the Outback Steakhouse or maybe Bugaboo Creek Steakhouse. Today, I’m talking about my kitchen, my almost-7-year-old, and Emeril Lagasse’s “There’s A Chef in My World“. She took the [...]
“If something can go wrong…it will go wrong…” and a number of other variations. I have always found myself, or those I’m close to, to be in that category. “Ma’am, there is a 1% chance that something will go wrong.” Something goes wrong.
On the flip side, “There is about a 1% chance [...]
…and as with all new years, we need to try new things. I have found this Wordpress Theme, and have decided to combine my two blogs, ‘the writing on the wall’ and ‘noms ‘n’ knits’ into one blog. This is a magazine style theme, and hopefully, the functionality that attracted me in the first place [...]
For a few years now, I have been toying wtih the idea of sending my holiday card via email. I had always looked at it as a way to save some money, and reach a large number of my card recipients in a fairly quick way. Then there was always the problem of deciding which [...]
Ok. I admit it. I buy the ready to bake cookies from Pillsbury. I will tell you that they don’t come close to homemade. And they involve little-to-no bonding time with my children. But I will have to give them their props when it comes to being able to provide [...]
First, let me start by saying that recycled silk…hanks of it…is absolutely gorgeous. There is nothing cheap about it. It’s colors are vibrant, and each hank is its own colorway. No two hanks are alike. So, when Pippin and I stumbled across it at Knit Purl in Sudbury, MA, we were delighted to buy a [...]
