Life Lately // 2


I made some late-night whole fruit margaritas. I felt bad about using the Vitamix for evil. Then I had a few margaritas and I felt a little better about it. (Thanks for the Patron, Deja!)

Braised cabbage that stinks up the house, but is oh-so-good. Cabbage, onions, apples. Cider vinegar, garlic, dill, turmeric.

A postcard from Big Bend. Someone I love is on a major roadie. I miss you! ♥


Nicky’s birthday present! We can’t have ribbon because Penny eats it all and it gets tangled up inside him. So I tied it together with a nautical-looking knot. I likey.

Late-night snack gorge. Ants on a Log: as tedious as they are delicious.
In other news, I re-photoed all my shop pics – I am loving how everything looks. AND, and and. Look at what Kristina, The Nerdy Sewist, did – quite possibly one of my all-time favorite interpretations of my Binary Folk Pattern (or any of my patterns, for that matter). Yee-haw!





I just love the knot on your package. That would be a good tutorial for us!
Hi, Suzie! Here’s the knot: http://youseriouslymadethat.blogspot.com/2011/02/knotted-headband.html
I made the knot and tied the ends together on the bottom — pretty easy!
Oh, that looks so good, Ants on a log, makes me hungry. Got to get me celery and raisins,got the pb. thanks for sharing.
Total comfort food for me! Also, butter on saltines. And PB & J with BBQ chips smashed in the middle!
Okay – the vitamix will survive…and the drinks look FAB! Speaking of…the nautical knot on the gift wrap is oh-so-perfect! Love it!
Ha! Yes, she survived . . . but now I’m dreaming up all sorts of summer cocktail treats. Poor thing
Beautiful pictures as always… so inspiring. I love ants on a log…. I’m off to the shops!
Thanks so much!
Those margaritas look so good! Too bad I barely drink any alcohol, ha!
The package looks amazing! It is such a great idea… thanks for sharing the tutorial
Is it peanut butter on the celery?
Have a great weekend!
I barely drink, either — I got that bottle of fancy tequila for my birthday at the start of December and figured it was high time I tried it!
And yes, ants on a log: celery, peanut butter, raisins. YUM.
