please give me a few new blogs

I need a few new blogs to read…any suggestions?  I would so appreciate it.

Honestly, Flip Book (iPad) or whatever the hell it is called, has replaced everything , including sex, in my life.  I just "flip, flip, flip…….read a bit…..flip, flip flip…..

Bumpin behind the wagon

I have fallen off the wagon and I'm bumpin behind it holding one very frayed lead and trying to not spill my cocktail in the other. 

 Its a hard task, but somehow I apparently seem to be doing ok.  When I attempt to make an easy change in my life I like to go full force.  When I decide to work out, I don't just work out…I want to be Ms. Universe.  When I pick a project, I never start small…I start huge then widdle it down one disappointing step after the next until my other half reality body checks me and says, "WTF? Lets just pay someone".  Its the way I roll.  Always has been.  That is also why I do a lot of drag assin behind the metaphorical life wagon.  It gets painful after a while.  

After 3 good months of working out and feeling good, I made a vat of cookie dough for the kids, and I'm just going to be honest here, that cookie dough never even got close to the parchment paper.  I washed it down with micro brew over the course of 5 days.  End result?  bad gas and tight underwear…It is what it is and I have admitted, its not pretty.  You know what else is not pretty?  Along with the tight underwear I have decided to embrace my inner hippy and stop shaving.  I decided I can save a few bucks, a few minutes and reap the extra warmth of a pelt.  I believe it may be adding to the tightness of my underwear. Its all just very very wrong.  This morning I put on my undies and I looked down and thought to  myself( thank god it was just me), "What are you thinking?  This is something only a German would appreciate…you gotta shave."  Reality has it…razors don't work on pelt.  Try it.  

Maybe I'm starting to look like these guys?

Its hot, right?   In a funky hip German kind a way?

I don't know…

Are these normal 40+ female problems?

This is why I must not give up Liquor for Lent this year.  

It's soothing the pain…

the pain of middle age doldrums.

write ya later.

Felted Clogs and Owl Cupcakes

I finally finished Bobby's Felted Xmas Clogs from the pattern on Fiber Trends :Felted Clog Pattern

Im not sure why things take me so long, but I guess its ok, as long as you finish.  Right?

Here they are before the felt

 and after the felting.

I have a front load washer so it was a bit confusing, but it worked.

These were actually the first thing I have ever felted, on purpose.  

I had felted plenty an angora sweater in the 80's

Now I can possibly make something for myself.

For Olive's Valentine's School Party I made some cupcakes:

they hardly look like Owls,but they were a big success non the less

For your close up

Busting apart 2 dozen oreos sucked.

They were strawberry cupcakes with raspberry cream cheese frosting.

I can never think of anything good to write about when I sit down…that shit only comes to me in the middle of the night.

ill write ya later

A few cold day projects

 Its chilly here today, sunny and 15 degrees.  

The worst kind of cold.  

It looks nice out then you step outside and your boogers freeze upon contact of the cold.

I decided to work on a few little projects.

We have Jeans for Kit, the American Girl doll.

I used Daddy's old jeans he was throwing away.

Felted clogs; before the felt.

I'll post a few more pics of these later.

The pattern is easy to find on Ravelry and I think it is $7.95

And one very very cold lil chihuahua

balled up in a ball on the back of the couch.

I'm going to go listen to This American Life and do a bit of sewing.

I'll let you know how it all pans out.
