What time is it?!? It’s time for a peanut butter and banana sandwich! Made, of course, with my Bob Ross grilled sandwich maker!

Not a great picture, but I had to be very quiet so I wouldn’t spook them. They’re searching for the apples and pears I put out there for them.

Snowy, blustery day. Food put out for birds and beasts.

My latest craft tutorial:

Star-bound Journal
This is a tutorial on how to create a Japanese stab-bound booklet where the stitching forms stars. Here are supplies and resources for creating one of these little journals. Oh, by the way, you'll need about 2 1/2 yards of 1/8th inch ribbon for making a 5x7 inch journal. My journals usually have between 15 and 20 pages in them.
