Here's my favorite ornament. A panty hose people : ). Here's a not so great pic of my favorite ornament. It's out all year and hangs on the kitchen cabinet so ya can see it all the time. Its a panty hose people. Remember when there was a panty hose craftin phase and all sorts of soft sculpture stuff was going on, HA.  Well, I love this one and I suppose it helped keep tons of pantyhose from being added to the landfills. Don't know if you can tell from this pic but she's got little toes and tiny sculpted arms and fingers. She's even got a sculpted tush but didn't get a pic. Her hair is a swatch of embroidery floss and she's got a small heart button sewn to one of her hands and she's got those wiggly eyes. I think she's the greatest. My mom bought her at a craft fair eons ago and she's been hanging around ever since  .
Hope everyone had a wonderful x-mas!

There's a hole, there's a hole, THERE'S A HOLE! in the middle of my icecream. Ha, its goes clear thru to the bottom, H E L L O ooooo in there. Anybody home? Heck, that holes so big I could rent out the space and make some extra income. Dang, now that's what I call inventory control. If I had enough gas in my car I'd go back and say, What's Up. With the way things are, I got a whole plan to my outtings, ya just don't go back tracking too much on the account of how much gas is these days. Oh well. I bet someone gave out too much icecream 3 customers ago and now their trying to make up the difference, LOL. Ahhh, my cup is half full  | | |
|   Lately I've been making this banana bread. While at the market/Kroger and checkin out the naners there were these boxes of banana bread mix. I thought, hummm, I wonder how that would taste. Intriqued at the possiblities I bought a box. Got home and had some bananas that were already about passed it - started looking for a bread tin and there were none to be had but there was a small sized bundt type pan. It worked out GREAT!!! Now I'm hooked. This is the second batch and it never remains whole until i can snap a picture of it, LOL  . I'd definately recomend this mix and I actually like it better in the ring tin. The recipie doesn't call for walnuts but I added those. Also, one of my customers gets her eggs and milk and veggies from this local farm. During her last visit she brought me a box of these beautiful free range brown eggs. She said she bought too many and wanted to share them. What a sweatheart she is. They are so fresh and you really don't want to go back to mass produced egg purchasing again. The yolk sits so high when you crack them so they are like just outta the nest like a couple of days ago kinda fresh. Remember the pictures of eggs showing how they start to look after a week, then 2 weeks, etc. etc. and how the yolk would be flatter as the egg got older. Well these yolks were like off the chart - perky  . Anyway, that being said, I'm not a big egg eater unless I'm putting it in a baked good. So having a carton of these beautiful eggs reminded me of when my dad used to like pickled eggs. I remember my grandmother and mom making them for my dad - he loved them. So decided to try some of those out. They are pretty easy to make and I found the recipie on allrecipies.com. They are made with beets so that the egg gets coloured from the beet juice and they turn purple. So they are in the fridge and the recipie said they would be ready in about 5 days. The eggs actually look kinda grose in the jar, yuk. Still waiting to see how they will taste since I'm not a big egg eater. Not even sure if I'll like them, ha, I'll let you know,

Here's the rainbow slouchy hat I finally finished. It's the skinniest yarn I've ever worked with. A single ply german sock yarn and its knit on size 2 needles (holy-knit-o-la). I really like how it turned out and never thought I'd knit something with yarn that thin but there you have it. I started on another one in a blue handspun yarn that the LYS was selling and that will be in the works for awhile since at the moment I'm going round and round and round till I can begin the decreases for the top. Oy-vay will I ever get there, hmmmmmm. Also, including a picture of a t-shirt I saw while at the thrift store. It was in the 99 cent rack (my favorite rack) and almost bought it but was sticking to my budget and had to make an executive decision so took a pic instead. In case you can't read it - it says, Keep working for the Lord - the pay isn't much but the retirement plan is out of this world. Now that I see the rainbow hat posted up next to this shirt they would go together well, Ha, shoulda bought it | | |
|   Haven't been thrifting in awhile so since the weather was wonderful yesterday I decided to venture out and see what was out there. Got this metal shelf/rack for my sis in law. She was looking for something to put shoes on so thought this would work. Then found this scarf. It's by guy st honore. Just thought it was cool looking and looked like spring so I'm gonna find a way to hang it up like a picture, WOOT! The shelf was $3.98 and the scarf was $1.99. I love thrift shopping
