Why?...WHY?
Sunday, January 23, 2011
Can someone PLEASE explain to me why I often do this, PLEASE! This weekend I went to Edmonton for a friend's birthday and to get some fabric and sewing supplies. I was looking at the wall of sewing tools at the fabric store, saw a tailor's awl and thought to myself, "Hey I don't have a tailor's awl and I really need it!" Bought it, came home and, lo and behold, I already had a tailor's awl in my sewing tool box. Yee-haw! Ugh!
And guess what?! What I really needed was a new pencil sharpener and AA batteries for my computer mouse which of course I completely forgot.
In the meantime please excuse the really blurry photo above and the extreme boringness of my blog. I'm still in the middle of sewing a madness a sewing madness.

The last couple of days I've been taking a break from this
and this.
To do this
and this
looking at this
and making some of these.
Egg tarts, 蛋撻 (dan tat) . YUM!
Don't you hate when this happens. The little Lego heads gets stuck in the little helmets, and you know what works really well to get that head out. Just drop them on a hard surface...FYI.

I am Iron Man

Lately everyday is Halloween at my house thanks to my parents. You should have seen their faces when they opened up these Christmas presents. I'm beginning to think that my boys were born wanting to be superheros.
Cracks me up every time they parade around the house with this huge Iron Man mask compared to their tiny bodies. They look like bobble heads.
Holidays were officially over on Monday with Darcy going back to teach. So back to routine and back to lots of sewing. If I don't update my blog for a while it's because of the big pile of fabric on my sewing table below.
I can't believe I'm posting a photo of my craft/work room on the www. It's such a mess. I thought about tidying it up and making it look magazine like before I took this photo but I thought the Where's Waldo like feeling of it was so much better. *cough..cough*

..too many emails to reply. Which is very flattering because it means people are reading this crazy blog of mine. Go figure. I'm honestly not trying to be a jerk. I will get to you soon?!!
Check out the crazy amount of snow we've been getting here.
We actually had a snow day because the school buses weren't running except teachers still had to go to school. Thankfully Darcy made it out of the driveway.
This is what I've been up to lately. Working hard in the kitchen.
Melting chocolate,
baking, tasting. O.k., the tasting part wasn't really that hard.
I'm a huge biscotti fan. And I find this almond biscotti recipe from Joy of Baking to be one of the best. I already ate all the ones I didn't package. Did you know that Biscotti is the plural of Biscotto? Ha! Now you do.
