Better Than DIY
What’s better than DIY? DIFM! (Do It For Me)
Mike’s parents, Bob and Thea, have been visiting this past week. Here’s a look at their…um…vacation with Mike and Jen.The fun began right away with scraping and sanding.
Oh, and steel wool, too. Don’t you love that stuff?! I especially like […]
Beading Class
I spent today at the Alaska Bead Company, entertained and challenged in The Ultimate Beginner’s Workshop. I considered it a birthday present to myself (a bit early, so you’ve still got time!), and it really was a gift. I had a wonderful time!
Four friendly and interested students. Plenty of individual help as […]Adventure in Roman Shades
When we decided to go with Roman shades I bought two window treatment books containing instructions. I’m not using them. I’m using instructions from Terrell Designs.
We’ve already spent hours on the website, figuring, planning, designing, fretting in our ridiculous way. Every question we’ve come up with (and we are extreme […]Lazy Girl, Lucky Girl
Looky, looky what I got!
I’ve been wanting these Lazy Girl Designs patterns for months and months and at last I have them. I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve already pulled out fabrics and everything. Trouble is, I can’t justify starting one of these until I’ve started our Roman shades, which were on […]
So Much To Share…
So little time.
Eight hours on the road. Wonderful! Running errands, heavy traffic, city driving–yuk. Long open roads–yum!
I love watching the scenery, and getting lost in my own thoughts. I love a warm breeze through open windows, and rain pounding on the windshield. I love doing just one thing, with no […]What Kind of Poem Are You?
I don’t cotton to silly quizzes. Most of the time. But it’s Friday night, and it’s been a rough week, so here I am, reading blogs. Fuse #8 and Bloomabilities both pointed out this quiz, and the result is a poem. Now that’s something worth getting, right?
So I took the […]Catching Up
After a brief period of panic while proofreading (perfectly normal, in my experience), I sent the Spiderwick manuscripts off on Wednesday night so they’d be on the editor’s desk first thing Thursday morning, the day the first book was due. I like to be punctual.
Movie: Children Of Heaven
We enjoyed the movie, Children of Heaven, last night. It’s about 2 Iranian siblings who share a pair of sneakers to go to school.
One detail that I glommed onto and couldn’t get over was the maze of narrow corridors between the dwellings and shops. I know these are common in old cities, and […]The Wild Life
The snow started falling in December and keeps falling and falling and falling. We don’t have the tons that our friends in Girdwood have, but we’ve got around 3 feet, I’d guess.
Hello world!
Wow! Heaps of learning going on here, as I attempt to install WordPress and use it.
And can I tell you how long it took to find a theme with COLOR?! Hooray for WordPress Diva! (Make this a link? Are you kidding? Tomorrow. Right now, you can scroll to the very bottom and click on […]
