Ok, not really playing, but I liked the way it contrasted with the title of yesterday’s post Today’s Color Week color is green, and I thought instantly of this larger-than-life fixture in my family room: It’s a bag of packing peanuts, taller than I am and several times as wide. Fun, eh? We’re spending tomorrow […]

I made another little project today. This is another version of this tote from Lotta Jansdotter’s Simple Sewing. I like the first tote, but it’s a bit flimsy. I decided to try adding a lining, but of course, I didn’t bother to do any research on how to do that. I just flew by the […]
Read More: A tote and a tripA summer staple around here is the Cool ‘n Easy Pie. Made with Cool Whip and our current favorite Jello flavor, it’s easy to make, and we always have enough filling left to make a couple of bonus desserts Son #1 picked Lime for this go-round. I also really like Lemon, and some of the […]

[There is an updated version of this recipe here] We spent the morning & early afternoon visiting my parents. My mother dug up a couple of tiger lilies to share with us, and when we got home, Neil started digging so he could add them to the lily garden he put together for me. It’s […]

Oh, how I wish I were neat and tidy… How I wish I could get a box of books in the mail, unpack them, put them on the shelves, and recycle the box all within 15 minutes of their arrival. But, alas, that is not me. I do not have a company-ready home. I […]
Read More: Messy, Messy LisaWe kicked off this morning with an actual breakfast… I keep a big “snack bowl” on the kitchen table filled with granola bars & pop tarts, and usually we all just fend for ourselves in the morning, grabbing something from the bowl and going off to do our own things. It’s so odd to see […]

This morning Neil suggested that I check out some garage sales for interesting things to sew or dye. Sounded like a good idea to me, so off I went. I only hit 5 sales and didn’t have any luck finding anything of interest until the last place. There on the ground, in a little ziplock […]
Read More: Think he likes it?
For at least the last 6 years, I have been drawn to dark colors, particularly in my clothing choices. I’ve been feeling recently like my home would benefit from a makeover, and I’m drawn to the dark for that task, too. If I were handy with a paintbrush, I would probably redecorate several of the […]
Read More: My new love is TurquoiseToday was the end-of-year picnic for son #2’s school. Here he is with his “favorite friend,” as he calls her. I just love how he’s got his arm around her. Preschool scuttlebutt is that they like to hug and that he kissed her last week during circle time. My little Casanova! It’s getting close to […]
Read More: Young Love, Anticipation and SaladI spent my beautiful Saturday morning (and part of Friday night) packing up orders to ship out. My letter carrier tends to come earlier on Saturdays, so it’s usually a bit of a rush to get everything packed & weighed, the credit cards charged, and the postage printed & applied before he gets here. I […]
