I saw this recipe and decided to make a (sorta healthier) version of it (wheat pasta, low-fat versions of the cottage cheese and sour cream). I don’t know why it is called “sour cream” as it seems the cottage cheese is […]
These little guys were found swimming around in the big pond last weekend. If you remember from last Fall, Brian took the fish out since we expected it to freeze solid over the winter. We kept some of them inside […]
Last week was spring break for school and we went…nowhere. Hey, I’m a CPA, and not only is it quarter end, but some people actually want to be able to file their taxes…on time. For some reason?? See…spring is starting […]
Right? It’s getting there. Sloooowwwwwly but surely we will have some warmth. In about 2 months. I cut out these shorts late last summer, but never got around to making them. They are from a Built by Wendy pattern. The […]
There are few appetizers that whet my palate like stuffed mushrooms. I just love ’em. As usual, my appetizer for the wine tasting party was a bit more involved than I would normally do. There are several ways you could […]

There is still snow here, but hopefully it will be gone soon. It is supposed to warm up this weekend. Yay! Of course…it is supposed to snow again tonight. Booooooo! These pictures are from a walk a week or so […]
One skirt pattern, that is. I used the pattern from this skirt to make these skirts. One thing I did differently is that I made the top part into a double-lined piece. It is essentially a “tummy-tuck”. The fabrics I […]
It snowed today…again. We have had in excess of 80 inches so far this winter. We actually thought that Spring might be greeting us. It was getting warm enough, so that the snow was melting. We saw grass…brown, but grass […]
This print may not be of the bunny named Peter, but it is cute nonetheless. This is another shirtdress that I made for Anya for Easter. A few things I did differently this time: I made a collar stand for […]
On St. Patrick’s Day night the kids wanted some traps. Good thing we had some boxes I could cut up. I made some traps and then the kids wanted some pieces of gold paper. Kailan was discerning in his use […]
