‘Toot Toot!’ Said the Flute

Hello, crafty and sundry! I’m pretty sure I’ve not mentioned it before here, but I am a multi instrumentalist. Oh okay was… a long time ago… when I actually had instruments and could practice them. *giggles* You see, I attended a prestigious art school for high school — Booker T. Washington High School for the …

Oooh, Shiny — Shiny Pokémon!

Hello, crafty and sundry! Yes, my Pokémon addiction continues to run amok. We even walked into town over the weekend so that I could pick up some codes for Shiny Charizards and Darkrais from our local Game store. I also found Black and Black 2 for a price comparable to what I would have paid …

Around in a Circular… Double Pointed… Thing

Hello, crafty and sundry! I have to say, I’ve been having way too much fun lately. Of course, a part of that has been knitting up a storm. I finished my scarf in that really fun pattern, and suffices to say, I am well pleased with it. Of course, watch the winter continue to stay …

Not Much Knitting, Very Much Writing

Hello, crafty and sundry! I’ve continued to keep very busy with NaNoWriMo. I’m still in the game somehow, and am actually pulling ahead of pace to build a nice buffer. I’m still not sure where I’m going with it, but it’s continuing to be fun. It’s been just about all I’ve been doing though. I’ve …

Hello, crafty and sundry! Here in the UK, it’s cheapier and easier to have groceries delivered rather than to spend the petrol to go to the store. Because of that, we’ve been getting our groceries delivered for some time. The husband still has to spend nearly as long doing the online order, but at least …

Level Up!

Hello, crafty and sundry! Now, I’ve been using the same banana bread recipe for years. I’ve mentioned it in previous posts, because hey, it’s a great recipe and I highly recommend it to everyone. I’m not doing anything particularly different in making it, outside of leaving out the nuts because Smallhausen doesn’t like them (fair …

Nearly There

Hello, crafty and sundry! I’ve been not that knitty lately. Instead, I’ve been hunkering down and playing Minecraft, and working on the Decade of Malevolence contest for Evil Genius Online. I’m a huge fan of the original Evil Genius, so I’ve been playing that a bit too while grinding for the competition. I’m still debating …

She’s an Angel

[[They Might Be Giants – She’s an Angel (Video)]] As one might guess, today’s cake is an angel food cake! It’s one of those foodstuffs that I consider magical and undoable by my mortal hands, so it took me a long time to get around to trying to make one. Well that, and you can …
