As mentioned in today’s podcast, I like to do all kinds of projects from sewing to home improvement. I am currently working on couch covers for a friend whose doggie got a little frenzied in the shredding department. I’m not a professional upholsterer but I thought you might like to see my attempts at two of our own projects. I redid a couch and loveseat for our living room and also gave a bench a facelift.

July 26, 2007 · Filed Under Kim's Stuff · 1 Comment 

I’ve had a couple of requests to post pictures of some of the cakes I’ve made for the kids’ birthdays. They’ve recently shunned the homemade cake in favor of a store purchased one(the horror!) but I expect them to appreciate them in, say, another 20 years. I’m patient. I can wait.
