i made my 1st cheesecake. i made it with ricotta cheese, and next time i will try the cream cheese recipe. i was pretty happy with the results, esp the graham cracker crust with real milk chocolate chips! this is not exactly the hobby i need to start as it will end up making me fatter than my plump self already is!
this is a new ring i just finished on wednesday. i found the plastic diamond at michael's, but i cut it up some and filed it all down to look the way i wanted. it is set in oxidized sterling silver. love it!
jamie and i watched a travel show the other day about rajastan, india. it was super fun to watch, as i had been to 2 out of 3 places they showed! jamie said it made him excited to go to india sometime. so here i post a pic of fri afternoon traffic in old delhi as a temptation. oh, the lovely craziness!
lark books is doing a book on fiber jewelry. this means any jewelry made out of cloth or yarn or anything fibrous. i have written many how-to projects for Lark Books in the past, and i am going to try to do a project for this new book as well. i am making a necklace out of a fulled sweater. fulling occurs when you machine wash a woolen sweater and it shrinks up and felts. i am excited about this project and it has been perfect for a saturday afternoon with the snow lightly falling outside.
have you ever noticed while eating a bowl of pistachios that the last ones in the bowl are the ones that won't open? how does this happen? it is like murphy's law or something.
have a great weekend!

Well, the "Toys for Twats" party has once again been cancelled -- this time cuzza snow -- so everyone's coming over here tonight to eat chili and all Leigh's party nibbles.
Guess I wuz thinking that the unopened pistachios at the bottom of the bowl would be a no-brainer. You sayin' maybe they're heavier 'r sumpin'?
Proud of the new Indian cook in the household!
