Splat!

Sometimes there is nothing more satisfying than a piece of pie. You can eat pie all over the place. You can get a pie in the face. You can have pie in the bathtub, you can eat pie off of the rug. Cherry, blueberry, raspberry and saskatoon berry. No matter what.... pie is pie. And it's all good........ me having just finished a piece of Strawberry pie that I bought at the Market today. The LAST market of the season. It was chilly... with a slice of sun every now and then. The last time this year that I will have to wake up before noon, load my teeny tiny car until simply bursting with bags, and drive half awake to hit the streets gypsy-style. If I only had long wild hair and a really big skirt..... hoop earrings?

Did I mention that my pie had ice cream on top? Ice cream that I made myself? OH YEAH! I did it..... I bought an ice cream machine. Wait... I actually bought two. I have somewhat of a slur-pee addiction, which I am trying to kick. I thought "Hey, I bet I can make Diet slur-pee's in an electric ice cream machine!" Sometimes I am so sure of myself it makes me sick. No, actually, that sick sound was from my first ice cream machine when I left the poor baby in the kitchen un-attended. It didn't roll over by itself, but it did jam up and make a big block of diet ice, thus breaking the blade on my new friend. So, at the risk of disappointing 7 dinner guests that would arrive in 2 days, I frantically called the store. (It's over 300 km away). Nope.. no way they make replacement blades. Sigh. But, it was kind of them to offer free shipping with the purchase of a NOTHER machine. So I did. And it came. But, also the reply email to my venting to Cuisinart came... which gave me a list of repair shops that are more than happy to get me replacement parts. ???? Yeah, for $12. I mean... twelve bucks. Not a whole nother machine... twelve bucks. Sigh.

Now there are two of them. And I can't even wear them on my feet.

Make it!

Hey Guys......

Make it is this weekend so I hope to see you all there! I have new small messengers, some new long wallets, more and more pouches.... new designs!  OOOXXX

I made Dessert Sushi, I made a skirt out of a pair of jeans, and have begged and begged someone, anyone who can knit to make me a Hallowig. (I have a thing for novelty hats.)

Have a super week! OOOXXX From Julie.

Eye Spy....

Circus Cookie Cutters over at Williams Sonoma. I am on the fence about these... they are so cute but I don't know how many occasions I would need them for. They will continue to be on my wishlist untill they are discontinued and I race like mad to get some on ebay.... But... NOTE: I did manage to procure an ice cream machine from the Calgary store this week.. update on the ice cream a thon coming up!

Oh Katia..... Over at John Fluevog... These are my NEW blue fluevogs.... and I love them! It is SO hard to find comfortable heels that you can wear for 8 hours a day. I always wondered if it was just me whose toes went numb and blistered in 3 inch pointy toed heels? But these ones are super comfy, there is a generous "Toe Box" so you can even wiggle them around. One of my favorite things about Fluevogs, is the rubber souls, so you can even wear them on icy sidewalks in the winter. And in Edmonton, it's Winter for the majority of the year. I don't usually order shoes on the internet, but they were so blue and pretty... after exchanging the size 7 for a 6 1/2.. they are a great fit.

You CAN make your own bubble tea at home! It didn't take me long to get addicted to Bubble Tea....

Recipe link for Soft Pretzels.  A friend of mine received some Pickled Cheese as a gift. I know not where this cheese comes from... but it's salty! And pickled! It came in strings... like what you would find coming out of an old Mop Top Hair Shop toy... (Which I wasn't allowed to have). So we made it into pretzels. We divided the dough, rolled out the pretzels, I cut a slit down the "log" and tucked in the cheese.Then formed into pretzel shape. They were great... and since I love salt, this was great! But... we used a recipe that was just for baked pretzels, and I would like to try the boiled-then baked kind. I will hopefully find time to make this recipe! It's from the food network, so it should be good... right?

Anyhows.... have a super week! OOOXXX

Lucky me.....

 I just got this in the mail today!  I had signed up for an ETSY Co-op ad with Bust Magazine, and when it was published it was actually REALLY hard to find a copy. I went to every Chapters in the city multiple times, and also in some of the smaller towns outside Edmonton. Every single staff member I talked to at Chapters, had no idea about Bust magazine or where they keep the copies? I went to other indy bookstores and no luck. I planned to just get a subscription, but I didn't manage to sign up in time to get this particular volume. I was a little sad. But, an unknown lucky punk sent one to me anonymously today and I thank you. Thank you so much!
