One of the first things that attracted my parents to the house we now have lived in for the last 16 years was the in-ground swimming pool out back. Many summers were spent enjoying it with friends and family but, as any pool owner knows, there were "others" who enjoyed it as well. Have you ever heard of a skimmer? This is the drain located a few feet from the pool where the water gets continually pumped through in order to reach the filter, initially...

Culinary Chronicles - Taco Tostadas
Posted on 1:24 PM by fbdfbfb
I am always ready to try some new recipe and it only pleases me more when it calls for fresh vegetables and herbs. There is absolutely nothing that beats fresh. That's why when we first visited the International Farmer's Market in town, we were completely delighted with the wide variety of fresh produce. And we are seriously considering rearranging our schedule so that we might make it to some of the local farmer's markets closer by. The thought...

Some More Spice! - Post Ideas
Posted on 12:57 PM by fbdfbfb

For almost a year now I have been posting a monthly series called In My Backyard, where I pick out a creature or organism that I have had an encounter with during the past month and write about them. Its great for me because I have something scheduled whereas most of my other posts are not restricted to a certain time. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as though the series has been very popular, whether its my writing or just the topic, I have no idea....

Banner Updates

For a little while now I have been wanting to personalize my blog more, you know? Kind of spice it up a little. I want it to reflect me in all my "crafty"-peculiarities. The only problem is trying to figure out just what I wanted. It takes me forever to settle on something at times. I want it to be perfect, something that I will enjoy for a long while. I want to be completely satisfied. Its not impossible, its just not likely to happen fast. For...

The Ever Loving Trenchcoat
Posted on 12:52 PM by fbdfbfb

When you talk about Mission: Impossible these days people think "Tom Cruise". The action/spy franchise is on its 5th film and people are still raving about them. But what most people don't know is that it didn't start with Tom Cruise.On September 17, 1966, the first episode of Mission: Impossible aired and it ran for 7 seasons. It astounded audiences who found the world of spies and impending war come only too close to home. In short, the Impossible...

Accessorize with Crochet!
Posted on 1:32 PM by fbdfbfb

I do a lot of talking about my dreams and things I plan to do on here, and sometimes it depresses me when I read back over it later and realize I haven't done any of them. But I comfort myself with the idea that at least I am organizing my plans when I write about them and giving myself a bit of an encouraging nudge toward doing them.So I am going to talk about my plans for accessoriz-ing our room with crochet. Strangely, in the past I never considered...

What have I been doing?
Posted on 2:16 PM by fbdfbfb
Creativity abounds! Or at least the idea of it. Since today is one of those "not busy-- lets do something crafty" days, I decided I'd give my next crochet idea a try. I bought some Aunt Lydia's Fashion thread a little while back for just this project. Earrings! Three tiny circles with a glass bead attached to the bottom. I hoped it would work but there's no way to know until you try.Well, I tried. What do you think?I am so happy with how they have...
