A Week of Mess

Well after our dear old truck bit the proverbial dust last weekend I've had to find other things to occupy my abundant time and energy.  


Eddy is flourishing and  will soon produce little tomatoes. 


I designed and duck-taped an alternate mode of transportation. ( The duck-taped became a necessity rather than a decoration. My seat fell off while in a cross walk.)   


After a few staggered trips to the second hand store I came up with several tiny pots for my adorable herb garden. I now have a tiny bazil bush, two different kinds of mint and two pepper plants.  


I tried to add a touch of garden humor and lots of plant love to my porch garden. 


I tried my hand at growing from seeds and ended up with some cilantro that is growing nicely. 


My husband laughed at me because I was so excited I hadn't killed them.


Our tiny apartment has become a home with all of our treasures on shelves and hanging on the walls.  


 I had some pairs of jeans that I just couldn't get rid of so I turned them into these cute aprons ( the tutorial here)

 And then, after having taken what I wanted from the jeans I decided to use the rest along with a few more clothes of my husbands which were on there way out to make a 12 by 15 quilt top.  ( pictures soon )
I also tried my hand at making homemade tootsie rolls which turned out extra yummy and made for a fun PMS snack to take off the edge of those moments that you just GOTTA have chocolate. Recipe Here

    Sorry it has taken me so long to read your latest posting masterpiece. You've met some challenging obstacles and put together some great new projects. The porch garden is especially amazing, as is the new apron. I'm excited to see the quilt. Keep up the good work, and you need to ask us about a bike seat replacement next time you stop by. We probably have a useful used one somewhere in our stash.

    p.s. The newish car is cool and I'm curious to see what happens with the guitar.

Lists

Lists , Lists, endless lists. Things to do, stuff to wash, errands to run, stuff to buy. Why do most of my to do lists end up costing me everything in my wallet? I've really come to hate money, I don't even get to see most of the money I make. I just take a piece of paper with numbers on it to the bank so they can do some elementary math and add more numbers to my other numbers. This world seems to run on how many numbers you have. And the person with the most numbers gets the most power. It's like some sick Math game designed to melt your brain. All it would take would be some technical malfunction to add of subtract a few zeros from the end of your number stack and then all of a sudden you're sunk, or sitting pretty. Need I say more?

Ok so be for I begin my shpeal the thought provoting question for the day is: which would you rather have? large eyebrows or huge front teeth like beaver. Now yesterday I spent baking. I made the most amazing cream puffs. they are like cushuns of air filled with the best pudding you have ever tasted. it makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I also made sugar cookies with purple swirles on them. Now tell me this why do we call them cookies when you bake them. they should be called bakies ( thus the title). So now that I've stated this evry oen who reads this must from now on call them bakies. that includes you sydney even though you're in switzerland. I can still send my vicious hamster after you.
