About Me

I’ve always pictured our minds like a kindergarten cubbyhole rack. At birth it is empty, but life starts putting things into our cubbyholes; good and bad, happy and sad, funny and sorrowful. Some of our cubbies are used daily and some have fallen into disuse. The reasons are infinite. This is my cleaning out of my cubbies, clearing away the cobwebs and seeing what I find.

My interests are crafts, knitting, crocheting, reading, writing, gardening and cooking. I’m an odd mix of old and new. I love computers, but I make my own soap. I love all kinds of music except anything remotely resembling hip hop/rap or metal (of any kind). I play many kinds of instruments, although I haven’t played any for several years now. I have a wonderful husband whom I adore, a Cockapoo named Baby and a Muggin named Rosie. We live in the country and love it.

As my favorite author Anne McCaffrey (recently deceased) used to say: the rest is subject to change without notice.

  1. help please for your pound cake, what is the cup of butter in oz please, and the flour…. what size cup, is it pushed right into the cup. wish i had it in ounces.. thanks eve

    • I don’t use those measurements, but you fill the cup with flour and use a knife edge to get a nice flat top. You don’t want any air pockets, so just be sure the cup is full. Same with the rest of the stuff. So long as the cup is completely full, it will work.
