I think creamy crispy might mean 'kinda has the texture of mysterious crunchy things that are not puffed rice in a matrix of peanut butter and something with a bit of a fudgelike texture with discernable hints of protein powder but no chocolate taste.'

I'll eat the box but I won't buy more.

Did I buy this granola bar because I wanted to know what a 'creamy' bar's texture would be like? Yeah.

Behold, the line drawing.🦕🦖🍪🏮
a line drawing of the dress I'm going to make. the statement feature is a pair of sleeves that start narrow at the sholder, widen like a funnel to the elbow, and then narrow down again to be tight to the arm, also in a funnel shape. the shilouette suggests a traditional paper lantern. the rest of the dress is a princess seamed bodice and a voluminous pleated skirt.

I've cut out the Dino cookie dress! My off-cuts and scraps are very small. BUT! BUT! Cutting single layer and piecing the front skirt piece means I had enough room FOR THE LANTERN SLEEVES.
Little scraps of fabric in odd shapes that are all that temain from cutting out a dress. No piece is bigger than 6 by 6 inches. The fabric is a grey background with green and brown dinosaur sugar cookies and Gingerbread cookies on it.

I? I just have to hem it?
A hand embroidered recreation of an elizabethan shift built using rectangular construction (aka all the component pieces are rectangles and triangles) with underarm gussets and side gores. The sleeves, cuffs, and neckline are embroidered with stylized blackwork acorns and oak leaves that took two to three months to embroider. scan of a page from Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion showing a sketched recreation of the elizabethan smock I made. They are incredibly identicl except the original has three lines of oak leaf and acorn embroidery down each sleeve and mine has only one.

Twelve billion years later, here's an update on my blackwork.
Complex rectangleular collar embroidered entirely in black thread with motifs of acorns and abstract geometrical frame borders. Some border parts are a little less filled in. That's what's left.

So I read Katrina Carrasco's Rough Trade yesterday and I wanted to read her other books, The Best Bad Things today but it isn't held in ebook form here, or houston, or nypl! All of them have it in eaudio, but not ebook.

Luckily It is physically in stock, so here I go!
Screenshot of the covers of The Best Bad Things: A Novel and Rough Trade A Novel. Both have inky watercolor covers but bad things is red and black and sinister and trade is blue and grey-green.

Progress so far. My branch manager did an hour, I did an hour, now Branch manager says it's her turn again, lol.

Ee he he he he, it fits! I can't get the novelty lantern sleeve but I could get a belt.
