I’m thinking it was probably lousy timing on my part to do the color scheme naming contest the same week as the November color challenge wraps up, but what’s done is done, eh? Let’s try to keep from getting too confused If you’re new to my blog, you can take a moment to read about […]

Distracted
I’ve tried to start this post 5 times, but I can’t seem to form a coherent sentence. I know I shouldn’t be trying to write in front of the tv, but who thought that Between the Lions could be such a distraction? So far today I’ve learned about the letter H, the three little pigs, […]

I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get back to the Evolution of a Color Scheme series. The good news is that I have been making canes today, and that I know what the prize will be for the winner of my color scheme naming contest. The bad news is that I can’t […]

It didn’t stick, but it was pretty to watch, as it came down. Aidan enjoyed a seat by the bay window, and imagined that one of the big flakes was really a camera in disguise, sent by the enemy to spy on us. It’s pretty interesting to me how his imagination never takes a break. […]

What do you do with a boring, too-big t-shirt with an unflattering unisex crew-neck? Usually I just keep it for a season out of guilt and then chuck it in the giveaway bag. Today I had a different idea. How about re-doing the neckline a la those Built By Wendy tops I was […]
