This is ginormous. This is never going to fit…” but I had seen one other person on Ravelry who had said the same [...]

Mmmmm. My house smells like Chex Mix! That must mean the holidays are upon us. Yesterday I made more Chex Mix (this is a two-batch season) and I have a bit to mail out but mostly this is for the locals. I saw Cinnamon Chex on the shelf and so put some of that in [...]

I have a love/hate relationship with the forums over at Etsy. On one hand, there is genuinely useful information in there, if you can get past the misspellings and the lack of punctuation. On the other hand, sometimes I think I’m the only one who knows how to do a key word search because MY [...]

The free program I usually use to make mosaics was giving me fits this morning, and I’m tired of fussing with it – so instead I’m just using individual photos this week. (I know, I know; am I really allowed to complain if it’s a free program?) Clicking on the picture will take you to [...]

This week is heavy on the soap; I’d sold out of a few things and made more, and also realized the other week that I was – shudder – out of Rosemary Mint soap. How did that happen?! Clearly I need to implement a weekly or bi-weekly inventory of some sort. 1. Exfoliating Rosemary Mint [...]

I had great hopes for this week when it started, and then I promptly got sick again and was listless and cranky most of the week (hence not really being overly social). Still, I got a few things up in the shop. Clicking on the big photo will get you to the photo; click on [...]

I started the first-after-vacation/first-of-the-year week off with a great start (I think); uploading ten new things and renewing five others. Clicking the photo above will take you to bigger photos on Flickr; the links below will take you to their Etsy pages: 1. Lavender Cattail & Dragonfly soap 2. Basil Cattail & Dragonfly soap 3. [...]

OK, I have to be honest that I’ve been letting this slide. For one, I’m usually the initator of contact with my boot camp buddies, and I was kind of holding off to see if either one of them would talk about Boot Camp if I didn’t prod them (they did not; so I did). And [...]
