OK, I LOVE the Story of Stuff. But, did you know there is also The Story of Bottled Water? The Story of Cosmetics? The Story of Citizens United vs. FEC? It might be time for you to take another look at http://www.storyofstuff.org/
Sometimes when my husband goes out the dogs do some pretty freaky stuff. Just recently while my husband was away for the day our lab came out of our bedroom looking like this…..
I don’t know how he get’s them on, or why. Strange, right honey?

Well I decided I better post something from the recipe book I felt so guilty about buying…(see here) just to prove I actually use it!
This was amazing! It's a side dish but I could have had just this and been supremely happy.
Whipped Sweet Potatoes with Maple Pecan Topping
6 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (approx. 3 lbs.)
2 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed (approx. 1 lb.)
3 eggs
2 tbsp. maple syrup
2 tsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp. salt
Pinch nutmeg
Pinch pepper
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook potatoes and sweet potatoes, covered, until tender, about 12 min. Drain; return to pot. Mash until smooth.
Beat together eggs, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, nutmeg, and pepper; beat into potatoes. Scrape into greased 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish. ( To prepare ahead of time, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; add 10 min to baking time.)
Stir pecans with brown sugar; sprinkle over potatoes. Drizzle with butter. Bake at 350 degrees F until set and bubbly, about 45 min.

I’m out to deliver some yoga bags I just completed. Here are a few images. It’s amazing what you can do with recycled jeans!
These are made with jean legs. You have to open one of the seams to apply the fabric designs and then stitch it back up again. (All of my appliques are made from quilting scraps and leftovers from other projects.) Add a round bottom, a strap and fold over the top and make a channel for a string to tie the whole thing closed! Happy downward facing dog!
