So Bon Vivant: slipping into delirium
http://sobonvivant.blogspot.com/2007/08/slipping-into-delirium.html
Musings on wine, entertaining, attempting to cook and other fabulousness. As I sit here in my dreary office, I am suddenly inspired to make these slippers - according to Bluelines. Been there done that, don't you just love the handmade teddy bear I made and sent last year for christmas. (I also have the best intentions.). The fabric will sit in a box with the myriad of drapery fabric I have accumulated. I haven't finished those either. August 22, 2007 at 9:42 PM. August 24, 2007 at 1:34 PM. 3:00 pm - Pina.

Iron Wine claims that the cans of wine, whic...
