They said it was due to &#8220;inactivity&#8221;. I guess receiving and sending 50 emails a day isn&#8217;t enough for them. Go figure. I re-enabled my mailbox, but any emails sent [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re tired of Winn Dixie cakes with &#8220;Happy Birtday&#8221; scrawled on them in melted gel icing, then you&#8217;ll want to check out her dvds. They really are awesome.

We spent all day Saturday snapping photos on her deck and praying that it wouldn&#8217;t rain. She must have changed outfits at least 15 times. Also, Jessica is crazy. Here&#8217;s some outtakes:

I&#8217;ve had a picture of this bag in my mind for months. I even had dreams about sewing it up. I had tried to do similar pleats in cotton, but it was just too flimsy. The bags would go into the washing machine looking perfect and come out a wrinkly scrunched up mess.  Last week, [...]]]></description>

I only had this machine for one year, but I did complete hundreds of projects with it. I guess that&#8217;s not such [...]]]></description>

She also makes little finger puppets. Her food puppets are, of course, my favorite:
