I found this at the steamedpuddingevangelist(dot)com web site. (I'm still trying to see if I can do a steamed pudding in my mother's old "crock-ette" which is a one-quart crock pot with a plastic lid. I think Mom made her personal puddings in this after I left home, but I'm not sure. Will be trying it at some point (or not) I just have this overwhelming curiosity about it. Anyway!! I found these and love that I may be able to try out an English recipe because I might now be able to figure out the measurements!!

Try out this super easy homemade flubber recipe. It only takes five minutes to prepare but will delight your kids for hours.

Life is short. Live pretty.

a blog about all things crafty. glue gun, vinyl, painting, sewing...i do it all...and i do it quickly! i'm all about fast and easy crafts!

Remember my post long, long ago, Do You Know Your ABC’s? Well, for one of the pages, I made a scratch -off section on it, because my husband loves scratch-off tickets. It’s super, super…

I am a terrible housekeeper. I'm also terrible at saving money. And talking about my feelings. And cooking (because I don't plan ahead). And making time for my husband. At least, I WAS terrible at all of these things until… family meetings! I found a print-out somewhere in the depths of the internet called "Peek at the Week." I showed it to my husband and he was mostly indifferent about it until I told him all of my amazing plans.

Teach your kids how to make their very own marshmallow catapult using common household supplies. How to construct a marshmallow launcher.

Lots of selvedge Lots of sewing and one cheeky brat!

I'm finally feeling pretty good. No walker or cane, and the pain is at a normal level now. I'm even sleeping 6 hours at night! I think I'm finally back, 5 weeks after total knee replacement surgery. Let me tell you it is noooo picnic. It is such a prevelent surgery and you are able to walk the day of surgery, so you think eh, piece of cake. NOT!!!! It is an extremely painful ordeal and the healing takes a very long time. Not t mention that anesthesia really stays in your system a while and together with the strong pain meds, your mind is just not as clear and sharp as usual. So all that is my attempt to explain my lack of a proper response to the paper bag mini album that I posted awhile back. I watched and rewatched a series of videos and took copious notes before making that album. I often think I prefer written directions with photos to a video. I am in the minority in that respect. I'm a teacher and I know how vital mulitmedia is in reaching people's various learning styles. I always end up writing all the directions down when watching videos. Yeah, I'm weird, what can I say? When a couple people asked me for directions or a tutorial I told them I didn't have them written down yet and emailed them a link to the video series by Ginger Ropp. Why didn't I just post a link in the blog post???? Geeze slaps self upside the head! Here is a link to Ginger's video series. Here are my written directions. I gotta tell you she does a very good job too. I really appreciate the fact that she doesn't say umm a bazillon times, make you watch/wait while she fussy cuts an intricate design, slowly show/describe each and every single product and all the various colors used. She doesn't force you to wait while she goes to look for something either!! There are a lot of poorly done videos on YouTube, but Ginger's are NOT in that category. Her videos are very well done, and this is high praise coming from an impatient woman who used to be that hyper little girl who drove her teachers batty!!

Not sure of the exact origin of this, but ad to share!

Stardate 43133.3 Permission to come aboard, sir. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. You won’t be disappointed. Episode 2: Where is everyone? I’ve been calling for ages. It must b…

So I just started my first post college graduation job! I am extremely happy and appreciative but I have to admit I haven't had any time to do anything crafty, fast. So all week I've been working on creating this wig :) I'm very happy with how it turned out but now I want to get a minifee so that I can make it even longer!! I have so many other ideas and colors I wanna try and I'm thinking about trying to sell some since I don't need a million wigs :P
