no Project Runway post this week

Hello. On Sunday I sat down to watch last week's Project Runway only to find that our Tivo didn't actually record it. So I won't have a Project Runway post for you this week. What I will have starting tomorrow will be reports from my trip to New York's Fashion Week and the taping of the season finale show. I'll try not to faint from excitement over being in the same room with Tim Gunn.

May Birthday Giveaway: Grow Great Grub

Today I've got a copy of Grow Great Grub [1]: Organic Food from Small Spaces by Gayla Trail. This book has a perfect combination of the information you need to grow your own food in containers, planting beds or community gardens, what to plant, how to care for it, and heaps of beautiful photographs to inspire you. I'm very intimidated by gardening and I find this book to be comforting. She covers everything I might like to grow but doesn't bury me in too many options. There are even recipes, tips on keeping or preserving and a section on how to can. This book is both a great place to start, and has lots of information for those gardeners who are looking to polish their food growing skills. And if you don't already follow it Gayla's site You Grow Girl [2] is full of great information. Gayla is one of those people whom I've known online for years and years. (I find myself saying that a lot lately!) If you'd like to win a copy of You Grow Girl please leave a comment with this post. You've got until Tuesday, May 17th at 10am PST to enter, the fine print [3] applies. Here is something to talk about if you'd like: Have you ever eaten anything you grew yourself? I am terrible with plants so the most I've managed is using my own rosemary and thyme, but my dad is a gardener and grows blueberries and wild strawberries (which are delicious). Ok, good luck! Closed! Thanks for entering. [1] http://www.growgreatgrub.com/ [2] http://www.yougrowgirl.com/ [3] http://www.notmartha.org/the-fine-print/

Make a Dog Paw Stocking

In my house, everyone gets a Christmas stocking, including a stocking for the dog! I like this hand-sewn stocking, because it’s so easy that the kids can make them. Wouldn’t they be great for a Christmas craft show, too? Added to Christmas Crafts Please vote by clicking: Like this Craft? — Like a little? — [...]

May Birthday Giveaway: CakeSpy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life

[1] What?s going on here? My site started ten years ago this month and to celebrate I?m giving away something each weekday. Because I like you. Todays giveaway is coming to you from the future. Well, sort of. Jessie Oleson, whom you might know as CakeSpy [2], has a book coming out later this year (late September is the most informed date I have heard, things change but this might not!) it's called CakeSpy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life [3] and she is happy to send a copy to one lucky winner. Just, you know, in September when the book actually exists. CakeSpy, as if you don't already know, is lover of all things sweet, purveyor of the history behind our favorite desserts, a most excellent illustrator with a certain favorite character (Cuppie, pictured here [4]), has a column [5] at Serious Eats, a real brick and mortar shop [6] here in Seattle, and a rabble rouser when it comes to the question of Cake vs. Pie [7]. If you'd like to win a (future) copy of the CakeSpy book just lease a comment with this post, and if you'd like please answer this question: Are you Team Pie or Team Cake? I hereby publicly declare myself Team Cake, pies are great but cake has a power I cannot deny. Ok, you've got until Saturday, May 21st at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [8], as always, applies. Good luck. Closed, thanks for entering! [1] http://www.amazon.com/CakeSpy-Presents-Sweet-Treats-Sugar-Filled/dp/157061756...
