Pumpkin Ice SCREAM!!!
made on a whim
This is the most original ice cream flavor I have made to date. Top notch “winging it” was involved in the creation of this pumpkin chocolate delicacy.
With this initial serving, I dripped my bittersweet fudge on top that added an extra zing to the pumpkin spices of the SCREAM… The full batch has ripples of the dark syrup pooled between layers of creamy pumpkin.
In the Falls of years’ past I’ve always made a soft, chewy cookie I called, “Pumpkin Chocolate Perfection”, but after tasting this new dessert I’ll have to re-dub the cookies, “Pumpkin Chocolate Almost Perfection”. I should probably have someone concur the flavor is truly magnificent, but the welling of joy and satisfaction in my eyes was pretty definitive.
a near haiku for you
made to express an experience
stitches AND glue, now,
mend the rip in my knuckle
it should be better…
but it’s not.
HANZZmade Doodle: er remedies
made left-handed
Pretty good for a non-dominant south-paw, eh?
Near the end of an extended dishwashing session on Saturday, I wound up jamming my right thumb against the broken edge of a classy Ikea glass, resulting in one nasty gash.
It didn’t really gush to the point depicted in my artwork (see below), but I did need to put three bandaids on it to keep it in check.
A couple hours later (after making pancakes, watching Netlfix, and going to the ATM) I called my mom to ask her advice on cleansing and bandaging since I needed to go to Duane Reade anyway to get dishwashing soap (I used it all before the cut).
It was her idea to go to the hospital. As she said “hospital”, I could feel my bandages getting soggy and my hand tightening in pain.
Three stitches later it turned out to be just the right idea.
HANZZmade Doodle: iWhat? iPad!!!
made with ArtStudio App for iPad!!
I knew it would be a rough September! Working with a rambunctious bunch during the day,maintaining grad school afterwards and suffering a broken laptop all the while, I felt it time for a personal reward 🙂
For now, enjoy the quick art I got to make in between planning and response writing.
Krueger Kicks: packaged right
made for KIM (again)
With all the Kicks I’ve made (ever) this is the first custom label. It was a whim creation I decided on within the last twenty minutes I had before I was picked up for lunch (by Kim to receive her shoes).
It won’t be the last if I get to make more.
Krueger Kicks: storybook characters on vacation
made for KIM
- read!
Krueger Kicks has been on hiatus for quite a while – but I thank my good friend and former teaching partner KIM for helping this craft specialty return with full force.
As a Kindergarten teacher and avid Crusier this theme came quite naturally and gives props to our most favorite picture book authors and their characters!
Especially Mo.
