Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, some done,
Has earned a night’s repose.

if you ever wondered if those "Seen on TV" things work, especially the tortilla shell maker, Aunt Ruth got one from her kids for her birthday. She made turkey burritos with a wheat tortilla shell and they were great! She shares that if you use the smaller corn tortillas to microwave them on top of a wet paper towel for about 30 seconds first and then they will not slip out of the pan. |

GARDEN GOODIES~THE AMAZING ART OF ANNA WILI-HIGHFIELD
Her paper sculptures are created from archival cotton paper that is painted and sewn together. The copper pipe is bent and manipulated to create forms reminiscent of line drawings.
The biodegradable paper animals are created from archival cotton paper that is painted by hand and then sewn together to create the animal’s shape. Some figures use recyclable copper pipes to give them a sturdy frame, or in the case of birds, to give them movable wings.
