So, it’s a new week, and that means it’s time to look back on the old one, via the wonders of Flickr (where my photos are kept) and Big Huge Labs (where I make my mosaics). If you missed it last week, you can read my explanation of Mosaic Monday here. Week in Review Dying, […]

Welcome, September
You, who brings the pleasures of apple picking, brightly-colored zinnias, and the first day of school; you, whose crisp nights and energizing mornings are the things of “sweather weather;” you, whose arrival inspires thoughts of pumpkin lattes, fall napkins, and home-baked quickbreads… yes, that’s you, September. You and your explosion of color, your crunchy leaves […]

I have a raging mosquito bite on my ankle to thank for getting me up two hours earlier than I’ve been used to this summer. I initially tried to resist, given the fact that I was up fairly late last night, but then I gave in to it. For one thing, school starts in just […]

I had four big empty spaces in my mosaic today, from people who opted out of BigHugeLabs. It’s such a bummer – I really loved those pictures! But I had to un-favorite them because my mosaic looked really unappealing with all of those holes in it. I distinctly remember last year when I started doing […]

Ok, so I was in the Tea aisle at Target a few days ago, and I saw a few varieties of Tazo that I hadn’t tried before. Since I was in Impulse Buy Mode (as I often am at Target), I put them into my cart. Last night, I decided to try the purple one: […]

Today arrived wetly, with mostly light showers, and the occasional heavy downpour. I don’t really mind dreary mornings like that. In fact, I find them cozy and enjoyable, if I can experience them curled up by the window in a pair of handmade lounge pants, drinking a cup of cinnamon spice tea, nibbling a pumpkin […]

Say hello to the eleven finalists from the past year of Color Challenges (there are only eleven because March and April were merged into one contest). I thought it would be fun to chose a “Best of Show” kind of winner. And what does the lucky winner receive? Well, besides fame, acclaim, and the adoration […]
