I changed around my blog design a little bit – what do you think? I replaced the old header with a more photographic one, which I intend to change regularly with the seasons, or my whims. I changed the background to match a color I picked out of the photo, and I changed around my […]

Gotta love those boys of mine
Neither one of them has even remembered that we have Easter baskets around here. There will probably be a big epiphany after supper, when one or the other of them is wondering what they should have for dessert. I fully expect an “OH! We have Easter Candy!!” declaration. For now, though, we’re having a blissfully […]

Ever wish you had just never opened your big mouth? What a crummy day I’m having blog-wise . Let’s just pretend I was never here today, and I’ll be back tomorrow to share my adventures in clay, fabric and excessive firewood!

I’m five days behind in my order processing. Five days. It sounds like a lot, but actually when you consider that five days ago I was about three weeks behind, it sure looks a whole lot better, doesn’t it? So progress, albeit slow, is being made.

They’ve analyzed my current subscriptions, compared them to other Google Reader users, and come up with a blogs that […]

This is you. This lovely Polka Dot Creations blog dot. It’s a nice dot, but does it really convey who you are? Does it express your unique personality? Don’t you want to stand out just a wee bit more? This is me. I am not a lovely Polka Dot Creations blog dot. Why? Because I […]

Ok, I made that up. But it’s Thursday, and I wanted to show you what I finished yesterday. [Better grab a cup of coffee – this is a long one!] This is the ever-important Christmas apron. Most years, I have good intentions about getting my holiday decorating done nice and early so that I can […]

I think today instead of ending with my thankful thought, I will start with it. Guess what – Kim from Today’s Creative Blog featured me yesterday! Isn’t that cool? I encourage you to go check out Kim’s blog. I’ve had it on my must-read list for some time now. She has a knack for finding […]

As usual, I’m a little late coming to the party, but I read today about NaBloPoMo, which is short for National Blog Posting Month. The idea is to post once a day during the month of November. Well, heck, that’s not really a stretch for me, now is it? So, I’m joining in despite having […]
