Guy #1: So I literally threw the books at her. And I said, "What's the point anymore? We fight like cats and dogs every time..."
Guy #2: So maybe we should all move in together in one big house! And we could marry each other's wives!
Guy #3: Yeah! Maybe...?

Stories on my website are down. Lots of them. I know.
WG has my external drive. That drive has all my files with my fanfic. The website will not be fixed until I get it.
So I am waiting for him. And waiting. And waiting.
I am *this* close to adding a redirect to his email so prospective readers can ask him for my fics.

This is how Charlie greeted me when I returned home late Saturday night.
And okay. This is how he greeted me.
But this is much more fun. Much more freaky. Much more disturbing.
And you know what? I like disturbing.
After four kids and thirteen years of marriage, I really, really like disturbing.
Disturbing is where I live.
Disturbing is home to me.
Disturbing reassures me. Comforts me. Makes me happy.
In that respect, Charlie is, like, the most perfect animal on earth.
Dang, is he one weird dog.

Asian girl #2: (silence)
Asian girl #1: Do you know what chalk tastes like?

It's been one of those crazy weekends, and tonight I plan on unwinding with this deliciousness. It's a Bumblebee, and I have Cocktailnerd to thank.
Read this article | Comment on this articleThis is the wool plaid dress I mentioned I was working on. It's McCall's 5927. All was going well, I loved working on it. I sewed a little in the evening, on weekends, not rushing and really enjoying not starting and finishing a garment in 2 days. I lowered the neckline and added an extra little tab. I was having such a great time. The lining is all hand-sewn into place, all pretty and tidy, the invisible zipper went in perfectly and the pockets are lined in such a nice way. I was getting ready to hem the dress and then I cut a hole in it.
A hole, actually 2 holes, because it was folded, about 3 inches from the bottom on the dress. This was after I had trimmed it, so the hem would now have to be 3 inches shorter than I had planned.
Um, yeah, so saying there was tears and swearing and an all-around freak-out is an understatement. I kept telling myself it was just a dress, but I just felt like such an ass. I cut a hole in it! And it wasn't a patching/workable hole. It was a big horrible oddly shaped hole. A dress-wrecking hole. Through tears, I hemmed it as low as I could and tried it on to see if it could be saved.
Here's a photo of it too short. I had to serge the edge because I didn't even have enough to fold up. Now, I know I could have kept it like this, but it was so NOT what I had envisioned, way too short and too 1980s and really not a good dress when picking up kids and all that, I just was so sad when it was in this state.
So here was the fix, which as these situations sometimes go, if I am lucky and extra clever— I really like better than the original pattern. I am so happy with how this turned out. I had enough fabric (I always buy extra) to cut a strip on the bias, and then added a side slit and some bras buttons for a detail to match the buttons on the neckline. I actually copied the cap sleeve construction and folded the strip on the bias, so it's double thick, and this allowed me to skip the dreaded hemming on the bias situation, because the hem is actually a folded edge, dig?
And here we are all layered and much warmer and very happy with how this turned out. Whew. Thank you family and friends for your support with the drama.

We finished our second creative challenge for the Talisman Project a few weeks ago. Here’s the assignment from Laura:
“Think of some qualities you wish you had (or had more of…) (for example: time, courage, focus, peace, health, etc). Using these as your source of inspiration, create 2 small “things” (…a story, a postcard, a soap, a bracelet, a key, ANYTHING!) that represents those qualities in some way (these can both be the same, or you can do 2 different things).
Each one of these “magical type things” is going to be put in its own envelope (along with maybe a little description of what qualities it carries) and mailed off to 2 other group members. then sometime in the days to follow, SUDDENLY, almost UNEXPECTEDLY you are going to receive two handmade talismans of your very own carrying qualities you didn’t know you needed.
Ideally you use only what you already have available to make these talismans, you can even use old paper to make the envelope; the more thrifty you can challenge yourself to be the better!”
This one was so much easier than the self portrait. I’ll post my two items soon!
This past weekend was the First Annual Wisconsin Original Cheese Festival at the Monona Terrace in Madison. I have to say that while most of it was a blur because I was organizing instead of attending, there were a few truly memorable moments, including:
