another crocheted cap

i finished this whilst not sleeping in the middle of the night last night, grr. it's called the "Avenue C Slouchy Hat" from GleefulThings.com, and i must say, i don't think i finished off the puff stitch rounds right. it came out bunchy and bumpy, not at all what the pattern pics look like.. maybe i'll have better luck if i use more than one color..







the next one i'll use at least two colors and i'll do the brim version.. i'm not giving up on this pattern yet!

juice for the *health* of it

I JUST GOT A JUI-CER! I JUST GOT A JUI-CER! (neener neener neener!)

so i was reading the book "Fit For Life, NOT FAT For Life" by Harvey Diamond, and was excited to see that i could afford the juicer that he recommends on his website.. it is SOOOOOOO stinkin' nice! of course, i got the commercial model and in *black* :-)

so... anyone up for a juicing party?? it can make sorbets and smoothie bases as well.. (and i must say, that a gin and orange/pineapple juice is *out of this world* with this thing!)
