something made different: jenny's Best Tips* for living on a budget
http://somethingmade.blogspot.com/2010/09/jennys-best-tips-for-living-on-budget.html
Sunday, September 19. Jenny's Best Tips* for living on a budget. Other people's trash is your new best friend. Tables, chairs, rugs, Christmas trees. Check the alleys and watch the sides of the road! That Christmas tree may be a bit crunchy, and it may be Easter time, but don't you forget what's important here - that tree is. Why pay for pets when you can find pets in the street for free? You can always snag yourself an "outside" cat or a wayward pitbull. Just look out the window. There's one now! Paid i...

something made different: squirrels using laptops
http://somethingmade.blogspot.com/2013/01/squirrels-using-laptops.html
Sunday, January 6. You know what's funny? Squirrels using laptops. Picture it: The tiny paws. The typing. The tails. Squirrels in general are funny, of course. But squirrels checking their email is funnier. I hope you all had a great Christmas. I did. I drank way too much wine and ate way too much cheese and read books and baked quantities of cookies sufficient to sink ships. It was awesome. I can't wait to detox. What did you read? Anything you could recommend? January 06, 2013. What DID I read?

something made different: this is basically exactly how it happened
http://somethingmade.blogspot.com/2014/07/this-is-basically-exactly-how-it_2499.html
Friday, July 18. This is basically exactly how it happened. So my plan was. To photoshop World Cup uniforms on a couple of the Palo Verde beetles that I've found in my bathtub recently and publish it as my first returning post. But then I thought: "Is a picture of a three-inch-long beetle with googly eyes and a crazy scary mandible wearing a World Cup shirt that's sure to be an emotional trigger for many people really the best way to re-introduce myself to my readers? And the answer was: "Probably".

Tuesday, April 10. Divas and adorable carrots. Guess who else fancies herself a princess? And it's not Lila this time. Well.yes, it's Lila. It's always Lila. But also it's this little cherry tomato plant. I probably talk to my plants too much. You can grow up to be anything you want" (I say to my plants.) "Within certain parameters, of course.". I made the mistake of saying this to Raphael once and now look where we are. He took my affirmation of his potential a little too seriously,. I decided to try gr...

Tuesday, May 1. WE MUSTN'T PASS IT WITHOUT SMELLING IT! Now that it's May and I'm again teetering on the edge of my Haven't-Posted-in-Awhile-Extreme-Guilt-Breaking-Point, I've decided to post something I actually wrote approximately nine months ago. In spite of what you think, I haven't been slacking off during all this not-posting I've been accomplishing. In fact, I've been faithfully and regularly writing many, many. I want to run. With my dog Lila. Now I'm no pet psychologist, but I believe my dog's f...

I mean if people are going to be persuaded to buy it and everything. It's marketing, people. Which is a type of science. It's the science of selling fast food burgers (which, have you seen. One of those puppies in real life? No wonder food stylists are an integral part of society.) and canned beans. How many times have. About the shoe polish. Touched by ...
