Ohhhhhhhhhhh my Blaswarth!!!!!!!!!!! I bow down before You, begging Your forgiveness!!!! (That's all I'm askin', I promise! <giggle> )

I shall build a small and organized shrine to You in The Girl Room!

The bookcase has been moved.....the cookbooks are placed upon it, as well as my 3 little teapots. I have this HEINOUS recipe box that I have had since 1974....the lid has fallen off....a teething dog has splintered the front edge of it in the past (I'm not sure how I have not impaled myself!) and it is overflowing with recipes. So off and on, I am taking those recipes and putting them in a notebook. OH! And I also found a little filebox full of my Mom's recipes ~ in her delicate handwriting....my God that brings tears to my eyes! ~ and I'm putting them in their original form in the notebook, too, so they will be safe.

I have moved the desk from under the window in TGR to the opposite wall. To reflect the light, I will hang a huge 3' x 4' maple~framed mirror over the desk next week (when I have some help). Then the shelves will go up to house my bins....which will be full of my craftesque paraphernalia.

Life is good. I have a Blaswarth.

Cookbooks:

I have a bunch of Paula Deen cookbooks and even more Martha Stewart ones.....I have a Julia Child cookbook, several 'specialty group' cookbooks ~ You know...the kind that have Aunt Ruby's potluck casserole recipes in them? Yeah. Those ones.

I have a Michael Chiarelo, several obscure baking cookbooks, Joy of Cooking, Fanny Farmer, a McCall's cookbook, Thyme & Monet, The Commander's Palace cookbook and more....and of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention my all~time FAVORITE (not really) cookbook: The White Trash Cookbook.

It's true. Really, I don't have that many, but I do love what I have!

Ms. Paula should dump her hubby and marry me. I could listen to her talk all day long. rofl Of course, I would be eating good too.

Hey folks

We've just moved recently too (I'm not going into the stuff I had to get rid of, it's still too traumatizing) - but now, in our new house, I have room for a >> studio <<!

Gonna start thinking about getting on Etsy too... I wonder if being in Australia would be a disadvantage though?

I've also been getting into Henna tattoos. It's really fun drawing on people!

Now that the festive season is winding down, I'm hoping to get the time to do a bit of creative stuff before I have to go back to work

Oh, and Happy New Year everyone! xxoo

Happy New Year, Ursy! A studio sounds wonderful. Do you have the kind of furniture you want for it?

I've seen your henna work and it's lovely!

Awww, sweet Cathie! xoxo
I'm never totally happy with my henna work - it's always so hard to NOT drag my hand through what I've already put down, you know?

I think I have most of the furniture... I was very lucky in that when I went to Ikea, the very type of shelves I was after were on special. The only thing that I regret now is that I didn't get more of them. But oh well, can't be too greedy!

Oh, I love Ikea! They do have great storage furniture.

I haven't noticed any evidence of a hand-drag in your henna work, so you must be doing okay, darlin.
