I don't usually have time to get online Sunday so yesterday's Happy Thing had to wait to be posted today: Ma Bookie and I taught Babby to call Mr. Bill "Dodo" yesterday. \o/ He can say Bill's name, too, or a reasonable facsimile thereof which comes out "Beeyoh!" and mostly means that he wants Bill to pick him up and horse him around. So far, no ( Read more... )

Official Happy Thing for today:

Deep Fried Pumpkin Pie

Yes, that's a link to a recipe, and yes, you can bet your pants I'll be making it one of these days. A world with Deep Fried Pumpkin Pie in it cannot be a world entirely without hope.

Also, one of my cards was featured in Folding Trees' latest Flickr round-up! I are famous on teh internets ( Read more... )

I come bearing completely random links! The only thing they all have in common is the fact that they all made me go "coooool!" when I stumbled upon them. Oh, and they all involve pictures of things. Yes. This is a very coherent list of links, indeed!

The One Day Poem Pavilion by Jiyeon Song is a construction composed of a bunch of panels ( Read more... )

1. Apparently my brain has decided that sleep is optional. It was much more interested in doing fun things with REM cycles and states of almost-waking than it was in actually getting any rest this weekend. Grar. *downs more coffee ( Read more... )

Note to self:

When cruising crop circle photos, please do not think about quilling. Specifically, please do not think about trying to quill your favorite crop circle patterns. You will go insane. No really, you will. Yes, I know that the Milk Hill 'Julia Galaxy' is really cool, but you cannot quill it. Same goes for the Wiltshire "Treble Julia". ( Read more... )

1. So, yeah. We own a bookstore. I don't know where anything is except the sci-fi/fantasy and the crafts section, and I can only just contrive to conduct a simple transaction via the cash register without embarrassing myself, but. We own a bookstore! (Thankfully, Mr. Bill is way better at owning it than I am.)

2. All hail izhilzha, Harbinger of Rain, ( Read more... )

Okay, I really hate my quilling icon, now, I need to make a new one.

Yes, it's another quilling post. For those just joining us, this is the part of the show where I make you look at pictures of my OCD hobby, or rather, the results thereof.

( Does the fact that I listened to Led Zeppelin while gluing these make them cooler? )

Took sarcasticval, ladybrick, and izhilzha shooting on Saturday!

1. I owe a couple of people icons, and I had ideas for a Supernatural set in mind, but since I ended up having almost no computer-room time this weekend, none of them happened. Instead, see the new icon (the incredibly Marie-appropriate term appears courtesy of shoebox2) that I whipped up for myself in the five minutes of computer-room time that I did have ( Read more... )
