Introductions

Hello there blogosphere!  This being my first post on my brand spanking new blog, I'm a little unsure what to write.  I suppose just an overview of things to come would be helpful.

I am creating this page as a space where I can essentially brag about what crafty and culinary type things that I've been doing without annoying too many of my Facebook friends.  While I'm sure they'd all LOVE to know what I made for dinner, perhaps this will be more helpful to all involved since I can put links to recipes and whatnot.

A little about me- I am a 21 year old college junior.  I'm pretty sure that I have undiagnosed ADD because it is impossible for me to sit still and so in every spare moment I am doing something crafty or I'm trying new recipes.  I can't even sit and watch a show without doing something.  My particular interests include lampworking beads (aka glass on a blowtorch), and baking.  I've also been trying my hand at sewing, but I've had terrible luck with sewing machines dying on me in the last two months.

My current model- notice the flour still on it from tortillas last night.

I should probably explain the title- Wine Bottle Rolling Pin.  Well I guess maybe not since its pretty self-explanatory, but basically I'm too cheap to buy proper kitchen equipment when things I have already will suffice.  I found this out when I went to make homemade egg noodles for chicken soup, but didn't have anything to roll them out with.  Then I spotted my roommate's bottle of wine that had a little penguin on it, and I figured it had less than a glass left and she wouldn't care.  So my cheap-o rolling pin was born.  I have since bought my own bottle of wine (for less than $4 I might add) and it has served me well for spinach fettuccine and homemade tortillas :)
