All my senses came alive in one bite. I now fully and completely understand Nora. If my husband prevented me from eating these, I’d want to leave him too. Alright so the story’s a little more complex than that, but still, Torvald’s quite a jerk to put it lightly. Best macaroons ever!
By the way… here’s a useful tip: buy your almonds already blanched; it takes forever!
New hat! Now I wouldn’t call myself a crochet wizard, but I did manage to make it look like it was supposed to. I used the instructions on the following two websites to create the hat and decorative flower. I used whatever hook I had (which was a J hook), and a coo,l multi-yarn ball from JoAnns. I’m very excited that my head can now be warm for the rest of the winter.
Today in make-up class we got a wee little bit too old for my taste. I think I look very sad and tired; it’s not the best I’ve ever looked, if I do say so myself.
In case you’re wondering whether or not flaming cupcakes work, they do, and they’re delightful! They just look like cute, little toadstools.
Made this last summer for my little cousin, but here it is on my mom’s creepy doll from her childhood… scary.
My roommate Courtney and I put our feelings on paper to create new artwork for our bathroom. Ain’t it pretty-ful?
I was perusing an old Life Magazine, when I came across something rather frustrating. I really hope this poor woman never left New York City.
Sirs:
As a bachelor girl bordering on spinsterhood, I was resigned to a marriageless existence here in New York City- but with the appearance of your article I have been tossed into a tizzy. Married friends call urging me to “make a change,” letters from friends arrive daily enclosing “the map” without comment, and even my family has stooped to sending curt notes reading “herewith bus fare to Casper, Wyo.” I am no longer satisfied with my placid pathway into the sunset years alone. I hold you entirely to blame. What do I do now? Pack my luggage, give up my cozy apartment, my pleasant job and go west?

Dinner anyone? Got a little fancy tonight with my Cornish Hens. It was probably one of the most beautiful dishes I’ve ever prepared. Too bad a Cornish Hen is just slang for small chicken. The fam was a wee bit disappointed, even if my brother did finish a whole one all by himself.
The ensemble is complete! Today I finished the hat so that Sir Otter can be completely warm for the winter. It’s too bad I got too tired last night, or my mom’s preschool class would have had a full matching ensemble for their story today. But next year… best story ever :)
This was my final project in costume construction last year. I was having such a good hair today that I decided it was about time I photographed my project. I made it from a vintage pattern, and it was the first zipper I ever put in. I’m pretty darn proud of it.
