I’m afraid this is going to be yet another tedious and long-winded entry. Let us begin with the homemade ice cream! Yesterday I went to the grocery store for ice cream supplies, and looky what I found:

\nIT IS MR. SPRINKLES. Anyone who knows me knows I adore chocolate sprinkles. I even have a tiny container of them that I take to the Chinese buffet (they have a soft serve machine)! So here is the homemade ice cream with Scharffenberger chocolate sauce and Mr. Sprinkles: \"ice<\/a>
\nNow for a slight rant: I went to Michael’s looking for bookbinding\/bookmaking supplies and was told NO CIGAR. No bookmaking supplies here, lady. Hello? So I can go to Michael’s and make a crapload of memory books or what have you (no offense to those of you who make memory books), but I can’t get supplies for a traditional ART? CRAZY. So now I have to drive 30 miles away to a REAL hobby store. Hmph. One good thing, though, is that our local Michael’s has just started carrying Lion Brand Cotton Ease. Gotta look for that silver lining sometimes.
\nHouse news. Peter rented the pressure washer again and finished blasting all the crud off the house:
\n\"house<\/a>
\nDoesn’t the house look horrid? Well, what can you do with a stucco box. It should look much better after it’s painted! (That’s my father-in-law in the corner there.)
\nAnd a sad note. Yesterday an acquaintance from graduate school died. She had been fighting breast cancer for a couple of years. In January she was given a clean bill of health, but less than half a year later they discovered the cancer had spread. Everywhere. That was only 6 weeks ago. She had just completed radiation for the tumors in her brain, and she was going to start chemotherapy. She began having trouble breathing, so they put her into ICU and intubated her. She died less than 24 hours later. She was only 36 years old!! Karen was a very vivacious and determined person, and her death is society’s loss. So, do what you want to do TODAY, appreciate life, and spend time with fun, caring people!
\nThat’s it for now. I bought fabric yesterday and today for shorts, and I started on the armholes on the Throw Caution to the Wind tank, so I should be talking about crafty stuff again soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
