The most darling damn book ever printed


































I forget where and when I got this book, but it's been years. It's one of my favorite children's books ever. So sweet and adorable I can't stand it really. Mud Pies and Other Recipes. A cookbook for dolls. For dolls. So sweet. I think we all played this way as children anyway, but to see all of these "recipes" in print. So sigh worthy.
Woodchip Dip. Sigh.
Pencil Sharpener Pudding.
Marigold Madness:
Shred several marigolds into a pan and fill with water. Set in the sun to simmer. When the liquid has turned to gold, strain into bowls and put in the shade to cool. Serve chilled.
Sigh.
If you ever come across this sweet little book at a yard sale or wherever I say snatch it up fast even if you have to knock over large pieces of furniture and people to grab it.

OMSI and Wips

















Hey! Yesterday we went to OMSI.....not to sound like a party pooper but the science thing just doesn't HOLD my attention.....I know it's amazing and all that but I just can't focus.....but the kids enjoyed it. I loved the dinosaur remains. That caught my eye, because it was sculptural. I was even inspired by the plaster , wire and burlap the bones were wrapped in. That's what I loved!
I hope everyone had a nice Easter. I have some wips I am working on tonight.
Another holiday past...almost summer....again....man time passes FAST when you are ...er....older.....
OH! Speaking of which, they had this computer/age/demonstration thingy ( I am so bad with words :D) that took a picture of you and aged it so you could see what you'd look like older.........OMG....talk about leaving OMSI with trauma..... don't do it....don't...

Happy Easter!
