A Saturday of baking


I spent the second day of spring baking. Cornbread made from masa harina is tasty, but a little dense. Wheat breads include criss-cross kumquat sweet bread, rosmary and parmesan bread, as well as plain wheat bread.

Attack of the Gourd People!


Betty, my second cousin's 85-year-old mother in law, made these funny little gourd people for everyone this Thanksgiving. I like the boy with the little hat, surrounded by gorgeous girls.

Liz's ROBOTS


damselfly "heart" and wildflower



My bio dorkiness emerges. Clarkia xantiana is a bee pollinated wildflower in southern California.

Gift for the soon to be Courtney and James Harper




Backing helped to keep the designs from puckering. I am not sure how washing machine proof they are.
