9 things to do online when you're bored

I've found most of these through StumbleUpon, which in and of itself is fun enough to do when you're bored.
  1. Test your reflexes by tranquilizing virtual sheep. Who thinks up these games anyhow?
  2. Play spider solitaire I sometimes use this as an outlet for procrastination.
  3. Play a quicker version of solitaire (turbo) I think I've gotten through the first level twice. And never through the second.
  4. See in how few moves you can make the virus spread. Not a computer virus, check it out, you'll see.
  5. Play Sudoku online - and see how your time compares to other Sudokuphiles.
  6. Create your own customized online radio station at Pandora Radio. My current fave is the Cranberries station.
  7. Get a good laugh at actual photos found in real estate listings enhanced with plenty of snark.
  8. Download Windows Virtual Earth and take a virtual trip anywhere in the world. A gazillion times better than the now lame Google Earth - MS VE has 3D building capability that gives you a bird's eye view - and even lets you navigate around like you're flying. This could keep me busy for hours. Actually, it has.
  9. Start your own blog at Wordpress! Or if you have one, write a new post! Don't forget to send me the link too!

So I guess with StumbleUpon, it's really 10 things.

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
