New Yummy Recipes…

April 8, 2010 | Also posted in Topic: food

Between trying to finish up my taxes, and my 4 year old being out of Pre-K for “Spring Break” this week, I’m soooo behind! But go pop over to Foodwhirl and see what’s cooking there, to tide you over! Recently on Foodwhirl!

Baked Butternut Squash Macaroni and Cheese I love butternut squash. I make risotto with it, add it to beef stew, or often simply bake it on it’s own. So it was only a matter of time before I tried it with my baked macaroni and cheese! The squash is so smooth in this dish and

Link day: Tutorials and other fun things

November 27, 2009 |

Paul (from the fabulous blog Dudecraft) has a great tutorial on making papercut portraits! Go check it out! One of my favorite web destinations, Dollar Store Crafts, has a cute tutorial on making a placemat advent calendar. Here’s a tutorial at Craftster to make lovely tile coasters… what a nice gift! Pretty Decoupage Candle Holders at Craft Stylish Crafting in a Green World has a tutorial to make felted acorns. Neat! This should have been included in Dabbled’s Christmas ornament roundup, but I missed… Read on...

The internet, curated.

July 19, 2009 | Also posted in Topic: Guest, inspirations

Awfully honored to be guest posting here on Dabbled. Thanks for having me and I hope not to scare any of you away with my atrocious grammar and communist leanings. Here goes… I think that the thing that I love the most about the internet is that it gives us all the chance to be curators in our own little museums. We, bloggers anyway, are afforded the chance to trot out whatever collections that we deem hip, cool, or important without having to worry about grant money, a board of directors, or even a coherent direction to our posts. It… Read on...

If you can read this… You’re at the NEW Dabbled Site!

It really is a leap of faith to move your website! It’s not finished yet, but I set up this page (which looks pretty much like the old Dabbled site) to tide you over until I get all the spiffy new stuff up. Let me know if you see any issues or broken links, and you can feel free to poke around the rest of the site, but it’s not anywhere near done yet. Enjoy! (oh, and leave a comment, so I know that’s working too!)

one of those random posts..

So, today I took the dog to the groomer, and cleaned out my closet (no, I haven’t finished yet). And didn’t really touch the computer until now. So a triumph to not being a slave to technology, but no real progress to report on anything you guys might care about. I did start stitching up some (late) birthday and baby presents but that doesn’t really count as craftiness. Oh, and we are planning to hit Australia next month. Any readers from Down Under who want to share any travel tips? Tomorrow I think i might actually try the port of… Read on...

A successful party! and free shipping on prints!

June 8, 2009 |

We survived the weekend of much fun and kid-partying. The Dragon Cake was a huge success, it tasted as good as it looked… and supplemented but 2 dozen red-velvet with sprinkles and chocolate “dragon’s egg” cupcakes, it fed the crowd. The Dragon-Wings were well received, too! FREE SHIPPING!
Right now (until 6/12), you can get free shipping on prints over $15. So if you’ve been wanting to order a print of your favorite Nancy Dorsner piece, now’s the time. The code is DadsDay09. If you don’t see the piece you want at my store, just email me. Click… Read on...

Party planning continues… and contest winner is announced!

June 5, 2009 |

I’m coming down off the baking high from yesterday. Not only do we have the dragon cake (above) but a bunch of cupcakes too, because I tend to go overboard. So, along with the cakes, we have Dragon Wings for fun and favors, and the dragon invitation. I’m not sure that I’m doing any other dragon themed stuff, but I do have to run to Trader Joes today to pick up stuff for food. And plan the rest of the food.
