Funny, I was going to say the same thing as JelliDonut said. I would love your recipe for comparison though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Now besides loving your yarns and their colors I can think of you personally when I knit with them. We are almost polar opposites. I am short, don't run at all, shower, purple, don't understand business and economics -I'm a science geek, I'm oldest of 4, but we both love knitting and fondling yarn- that counts a lot!
ReplyDeleteI start with this Martha Stewart recipe and tweak. That's all I'm sayin'.

yummm mac and cheese.
ReplyDeleteWell that was interesting!!
ReplyDeleteGood post!
You're a very interesting person. I'm tall & wear size 11's, too. It's hard to find decent shoes that actually fit here in Rockford, IL. I have found a treasure in Madison, though. . .Morgan's Shoes. Check it out when you're up there.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteBoth J Crew and Nordstom's do a great job with larger size shoes. I try and wait for sales because they can be pretty pricey. Esp J Crew.
I'll have to check it out. . thanks.
ReplyDeleteI had such a great picture in my head of a red couch with three real live cowboys sitting on!
ReplyDeleteMy dream house has a wrap-around porch, too, and sometimes it has a turret. But always the porch.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I wish there were three cowboys on my couch.
ReplyDeletei want to see a picture of your couch. I have wanted a cowboy chair for years. So far no chair. I enjoyed you 100 things about you and I would very much like to meet you in person. Thanks for sharing.
