Bye Ophelia!

Ophelia has come and gone with much ado here in the Northeastern corner of South Carolina. Horry County schools were closed for two days, as were some local businesses were closed. Ophelia mainly delivered massive amounts of rains and some wind here; there’s lots of brush everywhere, but very little damage. This very gloomy picture taken Tuesday at 6:30 pm […]

Dollar Store Swap

Here’s a picture of the stuff I’m mailing out today for my dollar store swap. For this swap, participants bought 10 things from the local dollar store to mail to their swappee. In actuality, nothing was handcrafted, but I think it still counts as “craftiness” because I’m mailing it to a crafty gal.

I sent her a mermaid doll, a chocolate/baking book, chocolate coffee, some sampler goodies, homemade candy bar brownies & recipe, a decoupaged box, and some collages I made with a chin colle’d digital print & ribbon.

Hot, Hot, Hot!

I thought I’d share a few of the handmade things I sent to AmandaJ for the August Swap of the Month–Favorite Fruit. AmandaJ’s favorite fruit was the Hot Pepper. I had so much fun concocting stuff for this swap; I love hot peppers too!

Mirza Ghasemi

When I was living in Durham, one of my favorite restaurants was Cafe Parveneh in Chapel Hill. Serving traditional Persian cuisine, one of my favorite dishes was Mirza Ghasemi. i submitted my own tasty version of this veggie treat to the vittles.

Olmsted Stamp

This shouldn’t really count as a craft, but I have a lot of things to post over the next days. I got these Frederick Law Olmsted (the founder of American landscape architecture) stamps and framed them to send to a few friends from grad school.
