Hello, my name is Anne, and I make People.

... that should count for like, 5 aprons and 2 softies.

Distractions

Instead of languidly succumbing to my normal post-lunch nap, today I've decided to post. ...about nothing earth-shattering (remember, I'm doing this to stay awake, & not to entertain you).

I just reserved myself an eMailorder from Kingpod. Maybe you'll receive a special X-acto Valentine from moi.

A tut. on how to make an old spice tin pretty & usable for other functions besides holding spices has been swimming around in my mind. Oh - but I'm sure that's already been done, and besides, there's a cat on my lap. So here's what they look like when they're all done! A cinch.

And finally, mild proof that there might actually be someone inside of me. (Don't expect these updates frequently).

Good Source for Time Wasters

Check out the ASC Blog for some rainy day entertainment, particularly the Jan. 10 "Best Cover Tunes," (see how many seconds it takes you to recognize them), and "What is this song?"

Signs

So it begins... er, continues...

1. "Go over by that thing between the ceiling and the floor."
2. Substituted orange juice for milk in my tea this morning.
3. Brain needed a re-charge at 7:30 am last Friday.

Isn't that a pretty quilt square?

Think, "Hmmmm..."

EAT FOOD, NOT TOO MUCH, MOSTLY PLANTS.

"For thousands of years, people ate healthily without knowing what an antioxidant was."

"On average, Americans used to spend 18% of their income on food and 5% on health care. Now we spend 10% on food, 16% on health care."

"The experiment of outsourcing the cooking of our meals has failed miserably."
