"Ott Dogs a Noonles"

I found this recipe earlier this morning and decided that I'd make it for lunch. It looks incredibly disgusting, but Rory loved the little hot dog spiders. Honestly, with a bit of marinara sauce, they aren't half bad.

Summer Dress, v. 1

I finally organized my fabric supply and remembered that I'd wanted to make more for Rory with the sheet that I used before (skirt). I have a (organized! for now...) corkboard with a list of things that I need to make and finish. I completely disregarded that yesterday morning and finished this dress. It's pillowcase dress-ish. I found the lace scrap in my giant mountain of crafty things and love how it looks on the hem. I made a strap from the fabric to tie in one bow on the front. It's a more simple look than the traditional ribbon, and I think I like it better. I'll tweak a few things here and there for the next one, but I like how sweet and summery this one came out. Oh, and it was so quick to make. Love that, too.

Word Clouds

Wordle is worth playing around with. I did these months ago, based on things I'd written years ago. So, until I get around to taking more pictures of things I've made, I give you "Lifeshake" and "A Perfect Inconvenience".

I've been busy, just not with anything new. Been making bibs and hair clips and produce bags...still working on more. Several birthday gifts are in the works. Still trying to finish a bird crib mobile. Want to make a dress for my Bean, for fun.

We did some extensive cleaning out of the office in our house. It was non-functional due to my craft explosions. We bought paint, figuring that would motivate us to actually do the cleaning out part. It worked, and it was a lot of work. I'm happy with the result, though. Hoping that my left brain will kick in enough to keep it looking good.
