Hey! I finally finished the bolero thing!
Well, who knew how many lives out there had been touched by Spam? I especially liked the stories about crosshatching the Spam and sticking in cloves. That actually made me laugh out loud.
After the salt lick, I felt the need for a little sweet treat. We are out of chocolate and ice cream and even Jell-o snacks (I told you I ate Spam, so now I can confess to liking those little fruit and Jell-o snacks), and then I remembered a purchase from months ago:
The box says, “MOKO MOKO COCOA CHIFFON.” Seriously. Kelli over at the fun food blog lovescool wrote about these a while back. Okay, she wrote about them here. Anyway, the box comes with two pouches of cake mix. You mix one pouch with one egg in a mug/cup then nuke it for a minute or so. Here is the result:

Hey! The auctions have ended, and I want to thank you all for your participation and interest. I guess I can now confess that I had a dream that a couple didn’t sell and a couple sold for $2.25! Anyway, I hope the auction winners enjoy their wares.
So anyway, I told Carolyn I would help her try to sell a pair of shoes she recently purchased. She can’t wear them because her orthotics don’t fit into them, and take it from a fellow orthotics wearer, it’s not worth the risk to go commando.
It was the schmeebot‘s birthday the other day, so I made her a little bag:
I decided to sew something today so I’d have something to blog about. Ha ha. So anyway, it gets pretty hot here in the summer, and last year I thought it’d be a good idea to make some T-shirt dresses. Cool and comfortable, right? I finally got around to getting some cotton knit fabric, and today I made this T-shirt dress:
