My muse & TV dinners

She has returned and has slapped me upside the head.  She is finally letting me work on an idea I've had for a while now but is forcing me to do it digitally which is both an added frustration and bonus. :)  You see, I have some rather Luddite tendencies in that I much prefer old ways of doing things, like writing actual letters, drawing with a real pen on real paper, and making my lists in a notebook in my purse, that sort of thing.  For this particular project, though, digital is the better way to go and I am very happy with the results so far.

I'm keeping what I am up to a secret for now, though. :) I'm just mean like that. ;)

In the meantime, did you know I have a fascination with old-fashioned TV dinners?  Not to eat.  Yuck.  No.  But the visual of an old-time TV dinner in an aluminum tray.  I can't explain why but they always make me squee with delight.  :)

This is an ATC I made a while back in honor of my unfounded love:



And here are a few things on my wish list:

TV Dinner Metal Serving Tray

TV Dinner Gumballs

TV Dinner ceramic plates

TV Dinner Magnet

This wallet is no longer available on Etsy but I found this picture of it here. :)

I am so tempted to buy these and make my own. :)

Got something to say? Then I wanna hear it! But if it's mean or an ad that doesn't fit with my blog theme, it may not stay for long. Just sayin'. :) And sorry about the word verification. I'm just tired of spambots invading my happy place. :P

New Apron

Still alive and still cooking A LOT!  The food blog has really taken off which isn't leaving much room for much else.  I really need to get crafty some time soon. But, I did recently find some time to design myself a brand new apron! Here's a more detailed image of my design: At least I am finding ways to combine my 2 passions! :)

Mmm, mmm, good!

There has really been nothing remarkable going on the past few weeks.  I've made a bunch of yummy food but by the time I am done cooking it, I am so excited to eat it that I forget to take pictures until I am putting away leftovers. :P  This is the only meal that made it and it's probably the most boring visually.  LOL  It was absolutely delicious, though!  I present to you roasted tomato soup and grilled ham & cheese on homemade bread!  I am not a huge fan of soup and never have been.  Tomato soup is one of the few I enjoy because it is creamy and smooth and doesn't look predigested to me.  Now that I have had this, I will never, ever be able to eat canned tomato soup again.  Ever. You can find the recipe for the soup here.   I will also be adding the Pumpkin and Mushroom Lasagna, Shepherd's Pie, and Cherry Bread recipes soon.  Even though the temps are still in the 80's (upper 20's celsius) here in Atlanta, I ...

Baby balls

Okay, that post title makes me giggle.  Titling posts is even harder for me than writing them but you'll see how I came to that one in just a bit. :) First, the baby part.  I was asked to design the invitations for a Halloween baby shower!  (Okay, I offered when I heard about it but they took me up on the offer so that's almost the same! *grin*)  The theme of the shower is Boo Crew so I took inspiration from the invite that they found where they loved the wording of but not the design... Image source ...and designed something that fits with the Boo Crew theme without outright copying it. :) They also found this idea (which I am totally stealing if a miracle baby ever happens): Image source So, of course, I made theirs to match the invite: :) Now for the balls.  LOL With my tummy issue, any time I eat anything with chocolate in it, my tummy hurts.  A lot.  Thankfully, I am not one of those girls that HAS to have chocolate eve...
