I received a phone call this afternoon from the husband of an Etsy friend. She has been sick lately and I didn’t want to call him back because I knew what the news would be. I did call him back though, he asked me to, and the news was as expected. Julie Anne of DiamondMeenuh […]

Pasta

Lunchtime is usually (if I’m good and thinking ahead) when I plan dinner for that evening. Lunch time is a good time to pull something out of the freezer, if necessary, or run to the store, if desperate. Since moving into the new place, our goal is to eat at home as much as possible. […]

Now Presenting: My New Kitchen

I suppose I overestimated my abilities to unpack and get situated into the new house. I had plans of having the kitchen completely finished by the end of the first weekend.

After many months of eyeing these retaining/retainer (not sure which it is) rings, I finally broke down and rewarded myself for not purchasing anything on Etsy for a month. I think they were well deserved. They sat on my desk for about a week until inspiration hit. I think they fit well into my shop […]

I received good news from one of my best friends yesterday. My roommate from college, Barbara, will be coming up in September to watch the Texas vs. Arkansas game right here in Fayetteville. They are playing in Austin, but getting tickets to that game is impossible so I convinced her to come wear some Texas […]
