It’s funny how a food item can be wonderful one day and crap the next. Tuesday night I made myself a salad: iceberg lettuce, cheese, mandarin oranges, lemon pepper tuna, homemade croutons, and russian dressing. Nirvana in a bowl. On thursday, I made practically the same salad. And wound up throwing most of it away […]
Last night I drove home craving salad. I’d asked my pop to pick up a head of lettuce at the store and I had a jar of homemade russian dressing on the counter. I’m still craving that salad, pop can’t remember more than one thing at a time without a list. Of course, it’s not […]

and a close up so that you can see the fabrics now i just have to go purchase some fabric to go around the border and on the back, most like either a white or pink solid, but i’ll decide for sure when i get paid and go shopping. yesterday i made the mistake of […]
is it weird to make a birthday present for someone you’ve never met? but then, i guess that’s the type of person that i am *shrug* dunno. it’s a messenger bag rather like mine, but pink/red/orangey fur with a gir patch sewed on. i made it the same way i made mine, but i paid […]
