At least, this is how it looks on me (minus the grainy film that comes from taking pictures in less than optimal natural lighting)! My sunburn is peeling, I’ve got a few more gray hairs and a couple of laugh lines, but none of that bothers me. I admit it. I am a total birthday […]

In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I would show you how I made my Mother’s Day Skirt last year. This is potentially a no-sew project – that’s how I did it, since I didn’t have a sewing machine a year ago, nor would I have known what to do with it if I had! […]
Read More: Keepsake SkirtNeither 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 […]
Read More: Gotta love those boys of mineWell, almost, anyway. It’s appropriate that the Easter Lilies would start to open up today, don’t you think? They’re going to be so pretty… Not much to report today. I’m wearing my favorite skirt, and a new favorite rectangle pendant. I’ve baked my “famous” apple pie. I’ve chipped the dirt off of the children. We’ll […]
Read More: The lilies are in bloomYesterday we celebrated the anniversary of the day I had two large nurses jumping forcefully on my abdomen in an effort to eject a certain stubborn little person who had decided to be born two weeks early and then changed his mind at the last minute. The little stinker is now eight years old and […]

I mentioned in passing a while back that I had made an agreement with myself that I would not make a single skirt until I’d lost 5 lbs? Admittedly, that’s an easier deal to make with oneself in the middle of winter when one would prefer to be bundled up in cozy sweatpants and would […]

Organizing my Google reader. Yes, I got up this January 1st, and promptly set to work organizing myself electronically. I’m starting with the feeds, but hopefully before the day is through I will also have my calendar and task lists up to speed. These are important first steps in keeping myself on a less time-wastey […]

Ah, New Year’s Eve. For as long as I can remember, my preferred way to ring in the new year has been at home, with a movie and an endless stream of finger foods. Pigs in blankets, pizza rolls, chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks, chips & dip, and Granny’s punch. It’s scary how excited I get […]

I just can’t seem to drag myself away from zookeeping, socializing, and a wee bit of tv-watching long enough to get a proper post together. Since I know that there are throngs of you missing your daily dose of polka dots, I will force myself to stay awake long past my bed time and post […]

There were rumors going around this house that we were going to put up the Christmas tree today. No doubt these rumors were started by little people who have no clue what is involved in extracting the decorations from the attic. Nevermind the prep work necessary to make the living room / dining room tree-friendly. […]
