OMG. OMG. OMG.

Hello Beautiful Boogerbutts! Here's an old cartoon I did years ago of my cartoon Whisk dressed as THE BEST SUPER HERO EVHAR ... Wonder Woman. So fun.

In other news, I'm THIS close I say, THIS close to getting to unwrap my new KitchenAid Yellow Stand Mixer.

OMG. OMG. OMG.

When I tell you that I go to sleep each night dreaming of things to create, that's no lie! Even bought flour, yeast and cinnamon today. Bring on the cinnamon rolls for Christmas weekend.

Speaking of dreaming of cinnamon rolls before bed, I'm soon to crawl into my coffin for the night. Tomorrow the new dryer arrives, which means no more hard crunchy cold dried clothes.

Hot dog.

Chat again soon.
Huggs & Bugs, Me.

    1. OMG, Angie! It is insanely useful. Just made a batch of vegan cookies and they are cooling as I type. Delightful tool. For me, well worth the money. Saves so much time when kneading dough. Happy 2023!

  2. The mixer was last Christmas for my sweetie. This year it's a new pressure cooker (the old one is getting close to danger levels of malfunction).

    Best wishes to you and yours this holiday season, Ivy.

    1. Hey JB! Happy 2023 to you and the family! I love that you got your sweetie a mixer! My sweetie got me one! Pressure cooker. Yes, I thought I fixed my old one. Turns out no matter what I do it explodes. How did she like the new one your got her?

    2. She did NOT like it. Well, she liked the IDEA (she needs a new pressure cooker) but it was one of those fancy electronic jobs and she wants an old school one that sits on the stove (despite our stove starting to go).

      And I figured that, but the old fashioned ones are a little tricky to find. We’ve got a handle on it, however…the gift receipt worked fine, and we’re narrowing down the mail order options!

    3. The ones that work on the hob are a nice thing to get too. Far more dangerous for some. Horror stories of food on ceilings and mom's keeping kids out of the kitchen as they use them. That said, old school is always fun to play with. Back when I did research on which way to go, I believe I found an hob one made in the USA, too, if she's still looking.

  11. You ARE a Wonder Woman, Ivy! When I was a kid, my Mom dried our wash outside on the line in all seasons of the year. It was always fun to see the hard crunchy clothes, frozen stiff when she brought them in. Enjoy your new dryer! And that stand mixer when you get to open and use it!

  12. My son is begging for a KitchenAid mixer. I give him Christmas money but he spends it on other things. Maybe I will get him one next year or talk his kids into pitching in to get him one. Cannot wait to see all the things you have been dreaming of.

    1. Hey Pam! Thank you. The goal for 2023 is to sell my cartoons on mugs, shirts and other neat things. Something that I've put off for far too long.

  28. You got a KitchenAid mixer for Christmas! Yay! So I'm guessing you do a lot of baking then, huh? (New here, and clueless.) Since I don't work anymore I've been wanting to get back to baking more. I had a whole mental drama leading up to Christmas about wanting a KitchenAid. I would put it on my wish list, then take it off, put it back on, take it off again. The mental argument was: will having it help me bake more, or do I need to bake more first to prove I deserve this? lol In the end, I left it off my list and I did not get one.

    1. Lots and lots of writing formulas for bakes. Yes! I love it. Oh my gosh, the KitchenAid is so fun. For a long time I didn't get one because I wasn't sure if I would use the actual machine enough. OMG, it's the best. I went with the bowl lift because I dough a lot of heavy dough. If you're into dough this is a great tool! So helpful. If you find yourself a good deal, it might be worth it. So so so so so much fun. Cheers, Ivy.
