(the bathroom is still a work in progress, so please don’t judge the crummy floor, the cheezy plastic tile on the wall, or my hair-and-makeup box on a cinder block) I had no idea Jacuzzi was a brand. I thought it was like the technical term for a deep, fizzy bathtub. Apparently, they make everything [...]

Juniper Berry sachet, a photo by Meetzorp on Flickr. While running the dog, I found a bunch of windfall juniper berries today, so I completely filled my jacket pockets and made several juniper-berry sachets. I put this one in my lingerie drawer, ’cause delicates that smell of G&T are never the wrong answer.

Ruby continues to hold steady at just under 50lb, therefore she continues to qualify for the cheaper heartworm preventative. Rejoicing commences. Griswald behaves himself in the car – minor bitching only, no yowls of evisceration. Moreover, he completely fails to piss himself. Earns reward of catnip upon return home. Minnie, on the other hand, manages [...]

Apropos of pretty much nothing, Perez Prado’s “Patricia” popped into my head and stayed for the day while I was out riding the trails at Smithville yesterday. It’s a surprisingly good song to mountain bike to, actually.

So, what I’m really looking for is a battery powered picture frame that will make the sound of a toilet flushing when you push a button or pull a lever. Ideally, it would accommodate an A4 sized sheet of paper. Can you believe this thing is for real? Or that I, in actual fact, “earned” [...]

because I got wolf-whistled while armpits deep in a garbage can in downtown Kansas City Kansas. The absurdity of the situation just tickled me eight shades of pink. KCKS guys have basically no standards, nor dignity. I mean, srsly? But sexual harrassment and foul odors nonetheless, i think I got enough bottles for my boat [...]

I’ve been on a real sewing binge lately, so here’s some of the stuff I have made: Applique-decorated capri pants. (Front) and back In action (with a shirt I made last winter) Gratuitous butt-shot. This is the other cool pair of pants I made. Yes, they are bell bottoms. They are also AWESOME. The rear [...]

I’ve got this awesome fabric: And it’s just enough to make either of these dresses: Sundress OR late-1960s A-line I think this fabric would be just about equally fabulous with either pattern, but I’m not sure which to go with. Opinions would totally not hurt my feelings right now!
