4823. arkymalarky - 11/21/2012 12:52:09 AM Very scary! 4824. thoughtful - 11/23/2012 3:46:25 PM Saw the Beaumont thing on the news this a.m. How awful...over 100 cars for over 2 miles. Just terrible. Amazing the loss of life was so low. 4825. thoughtful - 11/29/2012 2:53:15 AM Latest project...I'm making a veil for a bride who is getting married next july....she wants a cathedral length veil with some fanciness, so I designed this pattern out of alencon lace, with a monogram and will hand embroider with beads once the lace is appliqued onto the veil....a challenge since i've never done this before, but fun nonetheless. The pic is a mock up using an old sheet for the veil and I photo copied the lace to mock up the layout with....
 4826. arkymalarky - 11/29/2012 8:35:48 PM Lovely! 4827. judithathome - 11/30/2012 12:30:32 AM Beautiful, Thoughful...be sure to show us the finished product! 4828. arkymalarky - 12/2/2012 7:51:50 PM Burning a rabid skunk carcass in the yard. Stan shot him repeatedly and he just kept moving. Ugh. This is the second we've had. A big downside of rural Southern living. 4829. thoughtful - 12/6/2012 4:31:58 PM And how is that the good life????
Yuck. 4830. judithathome - 12/6/2012 11:10:51 PM Better than posting it in Politics or Religion & Philosophy!! 4831. alistairconnor - 12/26/2012 3:18:13 PM Probably a safe bet that the skunk was Republican. 4832. arkymalarky - 12/26/2012 5:57:11 PM He was awfully stubborn about accepting his fate. 4833.

Wish me luck --- I'm off to make my first attempts at pesto. I'm trying a roasted red pepper and a chipotle, both. If it turns out okay, I'll post recipes!
If it sucks, I'll come plead for help. ;-) 4834. arkymalarky - 12/30/2012 4:09:14 AM I hope it works because I'd love the recipe but I'd be no help.
When do you go back? I go back the 3rd but Stan is out to the 7th. 4835. thoughtful - 1/11/2013 4:58:14 PM Update on wedding veil....the veil is cut, straight and even. Yeah!
I've appliqued on 7 of the 11 pieces of lace and so far so good... then I have to do the hand beading on it...then I still have to figure out how best to dye the monogram as it's white and needs to be ivory. I'll attach that last.
 4836. arkymalarky - 1/11/2013 5:09:54 PM Lovely! 4837. judithathome - 1/11/2013 8:48:43 PM Ooooh, that's so pretty! And the perfect initial...heh.
When is the wedding? 4838. thoughtful - 1/12/2013 4:00:58 AM Not until July so I have some time to figure out the rest...but I'm pleased and tankful for how it's turned out so far.... 4839. Ms. No - 1/12/2013 6:32:04 PM Lovely work, T'ful!
Update on Pesto - It was pretty good, but not exactly right so I will not post a recipe yet. It'll probably take me a couple of tries to get it where I want it.
I only ended up making the Red Pepper one, but I still intend to do the Chipotle.

Lizards (Anoles?) catching some of the weak but welcome sun. The Chronicle's weather guy says Houston has probably had its coldest day of the season and temps in the 70s are forecast for most of next week.
What's happening. Couldn't be global warming. Could it? 4841. robertjayb - 1/26/2013 6:26:29 AM And black-thumbed spouse, killer of many plants, has a rose bush that is budding. 4842. arkymalarky - 1/26/2013 7:22:27 PM We keep rocking from cold to hot. And blooming has become unpredictable the last few years.
