I have a special treat for you today! Because I have so many friends and acquaintances in the handmade industry, I want to start sharing their stories with my readers. I think that people who make things with their hands tend to form communities, so that together, we can remind the rest of the world […]
I would like to let you in on my current mood. There is no school today, on March 3, because of winter weather. Seriously? To make it worse, when I look outside I see nothing but wetness…there is no snow, but there is ice. Again. We have been busy around here, but it has been […]
I may have mentioned that I turned 40 last week. I may have also mentioned that Coach turned 40 last month. Next month, we will celebrate our 15th Wedding Anniversary, so this is just a year of milestones for us! To celebrate all of this, instead of buying useless gifts for each other, we went […]

Craft Show Fail | It’s Over, Move On Let me tell you about my recent craft show fail. I really need to vent, and you’re the lucky audience. Thanks, I appreciate it. About three years ago, when I thought I was a runner, my sister Jimmie and I signed up for a race on a […]
My dressing table is still not finished. I’ve hunted high and low for the perfect mirror and the perfect lamps, with no luck. Daddy-O brought me a stool that I love; it’s supposed to go with Tigger’s desk, which is not even set up. The legs are red, which looks great with our bedding, and […]
