Ms. Whimsy's Midnight

2010-10-18T18:21:00.004-04:00

It's been a very busy summer at the Whimsy Beading house. Ms. Whimsy Beading, when she wasn't filling orders for our fantastic customers was working on a piece she titled "I Shall Wear Midnight" after the new Terry Pratchett novel in the Tiffany Aching series. She'd planned to try to sell, but with all the work that ended up in the piece, she decided to keep it for herself! (Hey, creator's

Hexensuppen Recipe from Ms. Whimsy Beading

2010-02-05T16:16:00.003-05:00

The Whimsy Beadings discovered this soup at their very favorite special occasion restaurant, The Gasthaus in Louisville, KY. Nothing would do but that Ms. Whimsy Beading track down the recipe, only to find out that there really isn't one, at least not one in English that would work with the ingredients commonly available in the US. So, with the help of some Google Translate and determination, she

Tea with the Humans

2009-10-20T21:58:00.005-04:00

Mr. and Ms. Whimsy Beading are creatures of varied and incongruous tastes. It's a mixture of the exquisite and the horribly trashy with these two, like an opera performed at a monster truck rally.Sometimes, though, they manage to go places that don't offend my sophisticated sensibilities. Like the fabulous Greentree Tea Room in Lexington, KY. The Whimsy Beadings have a standing tea date with

Ms. Whimsy Beading says I talk about her too much in this blog. That I need to talk about something else for a change, and stop harping about how much clover I'm not getting, or she'll make me into the world's tiniest, most ingrateful sweater.She's a wonderful woman, really she is. Since I am such a good spokesram, I will abide by her wishes and talk about someone else for a while.Mr. Whimsy
