Projects
Jan 5, 2009 Mr. Claus brought the littles an easel to share, and they play with it about a gajillion times a day. We were hesitant to break out the paints, because hello? Paint. But we ended up giving in, and actually letting them play with their toy. Man, we are nice. Thankfully, clean-up was surprisingly easy. I love the giant art creations. Clearly, we need a bigger fridge.
A few days ago, Marissa made some cookie dough. She does this for alot -- makes the dough for me, and then I bake the cookies myself. I didn't check the dough when she was finished, and there was a slight miscalculation in the math for the chocolate chips. The recipe called for 1 1/4 cups, and she read this as 11 * (1/4) cup. Quite a difference. The cookies had basically only enough dough to hold the chips together, but damn they're good.
Finally, I'm almost finished with Phoebe's sweater. The one I started 800 years ago, that she's almost too big for. Soli had chewed my plastic DPNs, so I couldn't finish the sleeve. The talented, lovely, generous, and fabulous Godmother saved me by sending me a new set, so I didn't have to order $5 worth of needles, and pay $7 shipping on them. I'm thisclose to being finished with the second sleeve. ABOUT DAMN TIME.

I heart that sweater. If it's too small for phoeb-a-licious, you can just save it for Thea... ;-)
Marissa can make cookie dough for me *any* day... especially with that many chocolate chips! Mmmm!!!
That is the yummyist recipe misread I've ever seen! :)
