We finally watched Da Vinci’ s Demons finale.

Somebody get me off the adagio website before I bankrupt us.

The secret is to introduce as many people to Adagio as possible with that $5 coupon in the guise of being a thoughtful friend.  When really?  All you’re trying to do is create new addicts that will use that coupon and build up your own account credits.

Crazy 18th C Gown = Robe a la Bilbo

Because who wouldn’t want to spend the entire summer piecing 9+ yards of fabric?

It’s never to early to start planning for Halloween. Since I probably won’t have my big build ready by then, and most kids won’t appreciate it anyway, I think I am going to be Ms Frizzle.

Yep, crazy Magic School Bus, Ms Frizzle. This will be fun.

I wonder if I can convince my daughter that she wants to be a school bus instead of Princess Sophia.
