Happy Holidays
All I want for the holidays is for this year to end.

That piece of pie in the photo has like 1% of the amount of whipped cream it should have.
Teal is one of my very favorite colors. The design itself is very basic, I just painted all the nails with the teal color, dabbed the glitter on the thumb […]
I choose treat every time.
I was going to do a very traditional Halloween design with jack o’lanterns and ghosts etc but I’ve been wanting to try doing the “paint drip” look for a while […]
This is my first adventure in SuperDuo beads. Sunflowers are one of my favorite things and this style of bead offered an option that would not be possible with round […]
May your pumpkin spice be everything you hoped it would be.
I had been toying with buying a sous vide machine for a while now. Years, actually. I just didn’t want to make the investment in something I wouldn’t use or […]
I’ve mentioned it before in other posts, but my father wrote a cookbook for my family as Christmas gifts in 1994. This recipe is included in that cookbook. So, why […]
This design with the dark purple fading up into the light purple with the glitter also fading is just so pleasing to me, and I think the little butterfly adds […]
This diner I used to go to had the most fluffy, melt in your mouth pancakes I’ve ever had. I tried a lot of methods to recreated them. Like whipping […]
Just four months left of 2020. The end of summer is near and the leaves are turning where I live. The weather is still pretty hot but it’s cool in […]
This is a delicious Mexican icebox cake called “Carlota de Limón” which translates to “Charlotte from Lemon”. I’ve seen it made with lemons or limes, or a mixture of the […]
I bought a tiny anvil for jewelry making. I use it to hammer the metal to make it firmer and for different effects. This set has the little (lightly) hammered […]
I have a sort of nonstick wok, I’ve had it for about 10 years. It’s wok shaped and has a nonstick coating in it, but it also has a flat […]
I grew up on the west coast in California. When I say beans, I mean pinto beans. I had heard of red beans and rice in films and books but […]
Happy 8th birthday to my sweet little weird and wonderful ginger boy.
It was always Marsha, Marsha Marsha!
I love sunflowers, they are my favorite flower. I’ve wanted to do a nail design with them but I felt they were too complicated for me. I ended up buying […]
These are lovely and crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. Top them with a runny fried egg and serve them with bacon on the side and […]
I think it’s better that it is 2/3 of the way through this year and that the time is passing regardless of what is happening. I feel like every year […]
I made this set to add a pop of color to some of the black and white outfits I like to wear. It’s light and delicate but not too serious. […]
It’s a lot like fried ice cream without the deep frying. It’s very delicious, and it makes a great summer dessert. Plus, it’s so much easier than the actual fried […]
No beautiful patio garden this year. We still sit outside, we set up the table and chairs with the umbrella and swept up most of the leaves and debris that […]
I LOVE mushrooms and I wanted something different for dinner. Something light but filling and mushroomy. Although this has equal amounts of mushrooms and chicken by precooked weight, it seemed […]
I don’t love the way the flag turned out on these, and not having a “thumb” on the practice nails is odd. I originally meant the flag design for the […]
For every bear that ever there was, will gather there for certain, because today’s the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic!
